The Indian cricket team, led by Rohit Sharma, enters the match against England as the sole unbeaten side in the ongoing 2023 World Cup. India tops the World Cup standings with five wins in five games, including their recent victory over New Zealand, where Virat Kohli’s impressive innings of 95 led them to a four-wicket win while chasing a target of 274. Pacer Mohammad Shami earned the Player of the Match title for his outstanding five-wicket haul, finishing with figures of 5/54.
In contrast, England’s World Cup title defense has been lackluster, with just one win in four matches under Jos Buttler’s leadership. They currently occupy the eighth position on the World Cup points table and are set to face Sri Lanka in Bengaluru.
