00:01England believe confidence, not caution, will define their approach when they face
00:06India in a huge T20 World Cup semi-final, with Sam Curran insisting the side will embrace
00:13the occasion rather than shrink from it.
00:17With the match set for the famous Wanked Stadium, England know the atmosphere will be intense,
00:23but Curran says experience of playing in India has removed much of the unknown.
00:30Several members of the squad have spent time in the Indian Premier League, meaning the
00:35conditions, crowd and expectations are familiar territory.
00:39England arrived after building momentum through the latter stages of the competition, even
00:44if players admit their performances have not yet reached their full potential.
00:49All-round displays have been key, with different members of the side stepping up at crucial
00:54moments.
00:54Will Jacks has provided standout contributions with both bat and ball, while England continue
01:00to back captain Joss Butler, despite a lean spell with the bat.
01:05Curran's own journey back into the side adds another layer to the story.
01:09After falling out of favour for a period, he reeled confidence through franchise cricket
01:14and has returned it as a key figure, particularly with the ball at the death.
01:18Now, with a place in the final on the line, England believe their best performance could still
01:23be to come and that Fearless Mindset may be their greatest asset.
