The Indian team will take on England in the ODI World Cup on Sunday. Team India has played a total of five matches in the tournament so far and won all of them and collected 10 points. This tournament has been a nightmare for England so far. Despite being the defending champions, the team has won just one match. As a result, they went to the bottom of the points table.
The England team has almost been knocked out of the race for the semi-finals. They have nothing to lose now. Team India has to be very careful against England in such a situation. This is also because India has not won against England for 20 years in the World Cup. Team India last beat England in the 2003 World Cup.
The Rohit Sharma-led Indian team has a chance to end the twenty-year-long winning drought and take another step towards the semi-finals with an impressive win over England. There have been a total of 8 clashes between the two teams in the ICC ODI World Cup. During this period, Team India managed to beat England only three times. Apart from this, the British have won four matches. The match between the two teams was a tie in the 2011 World Cup.
The India vs England match in the current World Cup will be played at the Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow. Although the batting pitch of this ground is helpful, the spinners get some help from the wicket of this ground. Keeping that in mind, spin bowling can become a weapon for both teams. Besides this, the boundary of this field is quite large. So to score well you have to play big shots. In this match, the captain of the team winning the toss can bat first. Twenty-two yards of spin is helpful as well as scoring runs in the first innings. In that case, winning the match by sending the opponent to bat in the second innings can become an easy task.
On Sunday, the temperature is expected to be 31 degrees Celsius during the India vs England World Cup 2023 match at the Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow. Along with that, the humidity of the city will be around 33 percent on this day. There is no chance of rain during this game. The sky is expected to be fairly clear. In addition to this, the wind speed will be 8 km per hour during the match. Winning the toss and batting first is the right decision in this match.
