India vs England ICC World Cup Live Score: India Reclaim Top Spot, England All But Out
So, that’s 6 matches for India in this ICC World Cup 2023 campaign and Rohit Sharma’s team have collected 2 points from each outing.
The 100 run win over England tonight in Lucknow means they move back to the top of the points table and are all but through to the semis, with all teams playing a total of 9 league stage matches each. That also means the defending champions can consider their knockout hopes ended, with this being their fifth defeat in six matches. They hold just 2 points, along with Bangladesh, but are below them at the 10th spot in the standings due to their poor run rate.
For India, it was another stellar day on the field. The batting threw up a bit of a concern with some early wickets, as the team was at a 40/3 after 11.5 overs but the handy 87 from Rohit Sharma, and Suryakumar Yadav’s 49 lower down the order saw the team post 229/9. For England, David Willey was the pick of the bowlers with his haul of 3/45 that included the wickets of Virat Kohli (0), KL Rahul (39) and Suryakumar (49).
Five overs into the chase and India had established the upper hand with Dawid Malan and Joe Root out to Jasprit Bumrah and the team at 30/2. The defending champions were given very little room for recovery as the pacers continued to keep up the pressure - Mohammed Shami sending back Ben Stokes (0) and Jonny Bairstow (14).
Skipper Jos Buttler lasted all of 23 deliveries, scoring 10, before falling to Kuldeep Yadav even as Liam Livingstone finished as the team’s top-scorer with 27 runs. Three English batters got out on ducks.
Shami finished with 4/22, Bumrah with 3/32.
