England's cricket team, led by captain Harry Brook, is drawing confidence from recent narrow victories as they prepare for their Twenty20 World Cup semi-final against India. Brook emphasized that the team's resilience will be crucial in Thursday's match at the Wankhede Stadium.

The journey to the semi-finals hasn't been without hurdles. England clinched victories against Sri Lanka, Pakistan, and New Zealand, where they required significant runs in final balls. Brook's own performance, including a notable 50-ball century against Pakistan, underscores the team's determination.

Despite not always playing perfect games, Brook is confident in their unity and calmness under pressure. The team's top performers, including spinners Adil Rashid and Liam Dawson, and former captain Jos Buttler, remain vital as England aims for the final against either South Africa or New Zealand.
