The Indian team advanced by maintaining an unbeaten in the cricket World Cup. Accordingly, the Indian team became the undefeated team in the tournament by recording a 100-run victory against England. The Indian team, who batted first, could not get a reasonable total, and the England bowlers managed to limit their innings to 229 after losing 09 wickets at the end of 50 overs. Rohit Sharma scored 87 runs for India. However, Virat Kohli was dismissed without scoring, and England’s bowlers did not allow Shubman Gill and Shreyas Iyer to succeed. KL Rahul and Surkumar Yadav scored 39 and 49, respectively, to raise the scoreboard of the Indian team. The rest of the batsmen of the Indian team were also not given a chance to settle. England balled out for 229.
David Willey took 03 wickets, Chris Woakes and Adil Rashid took 02 wickets each, and Mark Wood took one wicket to create a winning mentality in the English team, but the England batters could not keep that honour. Many commentators believed that England would win this match. However, the Indian bowlers made the world-champion England team helpless by turning the critics’ opinions upside down.
Chasing a winning target of 230, England’s openers could not settle at the wicket. Jonny Bairstow was dismissed for 14 and Dawid Malan for 16. Joe Root and Ben Stokes, who entered the field, were dismissed without scoring, and the Indian bowlers did not allow any of the England batsmen to cross the 30-run mark. Liam Livingstone, the highest scorer of the England team, scored only 27 runs. Finally, England balled out for 129 runs.
With the victory of this match, the Indian team can take control of the tournament by owning 12 points. Also, South Africa is in the second position with 10 points from 06 matches and 1 defeat, while New Zealand and Australia are in the third and fourth positions with 08 points each after winning 06 matches. Sri Lanka is in the fifth position in the table, owning 04 points.
However, England, who were the champions of the last World Cup, have been able to win only one of the 06 matches held so far. As a result, they have to retreat to the 10th place in the overall standings.
What happened to the England team in this year’s World Cup. They are collapsed. Evan can not stand up again in this particular tournament. It is a nightmare for Josh Butler and his mates. Daydream only to reach for the top four. They can try to get eight points if they can win the next three games. Think about the honour of the country. Shame on you, Josh, and the rest of the team and head coach and the management. What do you say, Matthew Mott. Who is responsible for this. You have to answer to the England cricket lovers. At least try to win the next three games and return home with some pride.
