Jonny Bairstow is relishing his role in a rare World Cup double as England and South Africa prepare for high-stakes battles on the cricket pitch and the rugby field within a matter of hours on Saturday 1xbet
Bairstow will be leading from the front in Mumbai, where his side look to put their creaking title defence back on track against the Proteas, before attention turns to events almost 4,500 miles away in Paris and the Rugby World Cup semi-final 1xbet between England and the Springboks 1xbet
Bairstow is a huge rugby fan and was even invited to address the England squad ahead of last year’s autumn international against Argentina at Twickenham, chatting to the squad for over an hour before observing training 1xbet
Now he hopes to set the tone for a day of English celebrations by the time Steve Borthwick’s men kick off 1xbet
You'll have people in South Africa, I'm sure, having a few brandy and Cokes and a couple of braais, and you'll have a few in England popping down the pub 1xbet
It's going to be a great spectacle 1xbet
“I think it’s going to be a great spectacle, it’s going to be a great day for both nations,” he said 1xbet
“They’re two extremely proud nations, whether that’s on the rugby front or the cricketing front, two teams on both sides that are very passionate about playing for their countries and are excited about playing for their countries 1xbet
“You’ll have people in South Africa, I’m sure, having a few brandy and Cokes and a couple of braais (barbecues), and you’ll have a few in England popping down the pub and watching – any excuse for them to just pop down there!“It will be great – and hopefully both results go our way 1xbet
”Bairstow can only directly impact one of them, of course, and the importance of his role at the top of the batting order is shaping up to be a key one 1xbet
Defeats to New Zealand and Afghanistan, either side of victory over Bangladesh, have put England firmly on the back foot and cranked up the stakes on their visit to the Wankhede Stadium 1xbet
Head coach Matthew Mott has called for more aggression in the first 15 overs of both innings and Bairstow has the track record and firepower to oblige 1xbet
But he is clear that swinging blindly for the fences is not on the cards, with conditions in India calling for more nuance 1xbet
“I don’t see anyone else in the world going out and scoring at nine runs an over 1xbet
You look at India, they don’t go out and just go balls to the wall in the first 10 and they’re the host nation,” he said 1xbet
“They don’t just go out and go from ball one 1xbet
So the importance of the first 10 is to yes score quickly, but also score in a way that’s sustainable over a long period of time, because we’re not playing a T20 game, we’re playing a 50-over game 1xbet
“Playing cricket in India compared to playing cricket in England is different 1xbet
There’s different styles that work all around the world 1xbet
I don’t think there’s one thing that fits all 1xbet
”While England are licking their wounds after being upset by the Afghans, South Africa are nursing a similar blow to their pride after defeat the Netherlands 1xbet
That has added another layer of intrigue to the clash as both sets of players desperately try to reset the narrative 1xbet
Lost to New Zealand by nine wicket, AhmedabadBeat Bangladesh by 137 runs, DharamshalaLost to Afghanistan by 69 runs, Delhi“We know it’s a big game, we know they’re a strong nation and they’ve been playing well, but we also know now they’re coming off a loss as well,” Bairstow said 1xbet
“That was a great result to wake up to 1xbet
But we’re actually just focusing on ourselves 1xbet
That’s what we do 1xbet
“The confidence is there – it’s unwavering 1xbet
There’s no lack of belief within this group 1xbet
It isn’t something that’s been questioned one bit 1xbet

The main fact of this 3-1 win was that England have qualified for Euro 2024, but the whole feel was why they should be talking about winning it rather than being too concerned any more with the formality of getting there 1xbet
A historic major nation like Italy were just made look a minor inconvenience, as Gareth Southgate’s side almost toyed with them 1xbet
They were just so much 1xbet better, and have a knowledge of that personified in Jude Bellingham 1xbet
Harry Kane got two and Marcus Rashford scored a brilliant goal to make it 2-1, but all of that seemed mere detail to the main event, which was the Real Madrid midfielder’s domination of the pitch and decoration of the play 1xbet
This England era has now been going on for at least six years, but it is possible that Bellingham’s emergence marks the beginning of something else 1xbet
He has exactly the type of assurance that can turn fine challengers into elite champions 1xbet
It is visible in everything he does, not least the outrageous touch for the Rashford goal that sent England to Germany for next summer 1xbet
Bellingham is exactly what England have been missing, for far more reasons than his position and his talent 1xbet
RecommendedHarry Kane and Marcus Rashford lead devastating England attack against ItalyJude Bellingham once again proves he is the key for England’s Euro 2024 hopesIt wasn’t all positive emotion on the night, mind 1xbet
This game did take place amid a more unsettling real-world context, and it should be recorded that the pre-game minutes silence - worded as for “all the members of the European 1xbet football family killed in recent days from Uefa member nations Israel and Sweden” - had to be ended early as shouts quickly gave way to loud boos 1xbet
The Italian anthem got similar treatment, as did Jordan Henderson coming on as a substitute, following his move to the Saudi Pro League 1xbet
There were conspicuously loud cheers alongside that, and that was the noise that soon made up the night’s main soundtrack 1xbet
Amid all this, not least the performance, any idea of revenge for the Euro 2020 final was forgotten 1xbet
That now feels a different 1xbet football world, even though this England team have clearly internalised the disappointment and learned from it 1xbet
It just didn’t seem to matter too much to this match 1xbet
It’s a very different Italy for one, as Roberto Mancini followed Henderson to the Saudi Pro League, to be replaced by the much more tactically adventurous Luciano Spalletti 1xbet
He is one of the modern game’s romantics in that sense, but that Italian 1xbet football culture for tactical innovation has never been more necessary 1xbet
Italy, in a greater way than at any point in the modern history of the game, badly need to be more than the sum of their parts 1xbet
Those parts, with a few exceptions, currently look like those of a mid-tier nation rather than the great 1xbet football country Italy is 1xbet
Kane scored a double as England cruised through (The FA via Getty Images)There are bigger reasons for that 1xbet
For now, it is England that look the force 1xbet
They look like potential European champions in waiting, as Italy looked anything other than defending champions 1xbet
That still created a few echoes from 2021, not least in the tactical pattern of the game 1xbet
England looked much more prepared to cede possession and counter, although this time with much more force than in that final 1xbet
The group context of course conditioned this, too 1xbet
While England only required a draw, Italy really needed the win 1xbet
The situation demanded more attacking, but so did the manager 1xbet
The encouraging aspect for Spalletti was that Italy already looked more recognisably like one of his teams 1xbet
Most identifiably, there were those sudden straight-line runs in attack, almost spikes that can do much more than pierce a team 1xbet
Giovanni Di Lorenzo looked especially dangerous from these situations, as he marked himself out as one of the most involved players in the game 1xbet
It was his run down the right that opened the space for Gianluca Scamacca, an incisive move ending with an instinctive finish from the former West Ham striker 1xbet
Scamacca had given Italy an early lead but England responded well (Getty Images)It was his first goal for Italy, on his 13th cap, which perhaps goes some way to reflecting why this major 1xbet football nation no longer feels a significant threat 1xbet
It was still a set-back for England, but one that only served to show how they have far surpassed the sort of side that used to have a psychological hold on 1xbet
They just have far superior players, chief among them Bellingham 1xbet
You get the sense no opposition side could ever have a psychological hold over him 1xbet
Di Lorenzo needed to just bring him down for England’s equaliser 1xbet
It was difficult to figure out why it took the VAR so long to make a decision given how clear the foul seemed to be 1xbet
Kane duly equalised 1xbet
With that shift in momentum, Italy never regained the same force 1xbet
The match from then almost seemed set up for England, as they visibly enjoyed just surging into the space left behind 1xbet
Kane reached 60 England goals with his first from the spot (Getty Images)That is something Spalletti is going to have to work on, but then that’s been the case for much of his managerial career 1xbet
It is a feature of his teams that Italy may just have to work around 1xbet
Bellingham just cut through it 1xbet
The manner of the goal that sealed qualification was entirely fitting of that achievement, even if it doesn’t mean what it used to 1xbet
That is precisely because of the quality of the players involved 1xbet
They have made life with England so much easier, say, than their equivalent games with Italy for the 1998 World Cup 1xbet
Bellingham is meanwhile of a type distinctive even from Manchester United’s serial winners in that era 1xbet
There is just something about the way he carries himself at that age, as could be seen with how he carried the ball for Rashford 1xbet
The United forward’s finish was as satisfyingly forceful as it was finely placed 1xbet
Rashford scored a brilliant goal on the break to put England ahead (The FA via Getty Images)Kane matched that with his second, and England’s third, for a scoreline that was more reflective of the gap 1xbet between the teams 1xbet
The gap from now to Euro 2024 can of course change the landscape of the game 1xbet
Italy themselves grew from their own excellent qualification for Euro 2020 into something greater for that tournament 1xbet
Other sides will evolve 1xbet
For now, though, none of them bar France look on England’s level 1xbet
It was why a win over Italy, and a qualification for a major tournament, felt like such minor developments 1xbet
