India Beats Defending Champion England in World Cup 2023, Tops the Table

Today India faced England in the World Cup. Team India won five of the previous five matches. Rohit Sharma’s team was aiming for a sixth victory today after defeating the champions of the last World Cup. For England, today’s match was only about honor. A dismal performance has left them with no chance of making it to the semi-finals.

Buttler-Stokes were hoping for a consolation prize after defeating hosts India. But at the end of the day, failure once again accompanied them. Today, India’s charioteer defeated England and won by twenty-two yards in Lucknow.

The pitch at Ekana Stadium was not ideal for batting today. Sometimes the ball fell from low, sometimes it jumped up a lot. Shubman-Birat had to face problems with the bat. Both returned quickly. Shreyas Iyer also did not get a run.

But despite all the obstacles, today Rohit Sharma explained why he is one of the best batsmen in the world. He has won the hearts of social media by playing an excellent innings of 87 runs.

The Indian innings ended with 229 runs. Chasing that run will be tough on the Ekana Stadium pitch, especially against the rhythmic Indian bowling. That image was also seen in reality. Jasprit Bumrah sent England on the backfoot early on, sending back Malan and Joe Root with a mix of pace and swing. Then Mohammed Shami also showed bowling brilliance. He has 4 wickets today. Today, India beat England to the top of the points table.
