About Captain Harry Brook: After navigating varied conditions across Sri Lanka, all-rounder Sam Curran believes England are peaking at the right time as they gear up for a T20 World Cup 2026 semifinal against India on Thursday at the iconic Wankhede Stadium.

Curran insisted that the focus is on delivering a “perfect game” when it matters most. “Yeah, I guess it doesn't really matter now. It comes down to the World Cup semifinal. If there's ever a time we want to play our perfect game, it's probably Thursday night,” Curran said in a press interaction at the Wankhede Stadium on Tuesday.

“We've all been chipping in at different times, but we know in T20 cricket it probably just takes a couple of our guys to come good with the bat and good with the ball. We're a quality fielding side as well, so we know we'll kind of come good on that aspect, but yeah, it's exciting… hopefully the perfect game comes Thursday.”
