When is India’s next match in the 2023 World Cup?
Team India beat defending champions England by 100 runs in the 29th game of the 2023 ODI World Cup at the Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow on Sunday, October 29.
It was India’s sixth win in the tournament in as many games and lifted them to the top of the points table. England remained in last position following their fifth loss of the 2023 World Cup.
Sent into bat after losing the toss, the Men in Blue got off to a poor start, losing three wickets for 40. Captain Rohit Sharma, though, yet again led from the front, compiling a resolute 87 off 101.
He featured in a 91-run stand with KL Rahul (39 off 58) for the fourth wicket. Suryakumar Yadav also contributed a crucial 49 off 47. Jasprit Bumrah and Kuldeep Yadav added 21 runs for the ninth wicket as India finished with 229-9 in their 50 overs.
In response, England got off to a decent start as their openers added 30 without much trouble. However, things changed once Dawid Malan (16) dragged a delivery from Bumrah (3-32) back onto his stumps.
Joe Root was trapped lbw for a golden duck by the Indian pacer, while Mohammed Shami (4-22) knocked over Ben Stokes (0) as England folded up for 129 in 34.5 overs.
Team India’s next game will be a rematch of the 2011 World Cup final
