After falling victim to Sri Lanka in a low-scoring encounter, England are now gearing up for arguably the biggest challenge of this ICC ODI World Cup. The defending champions will play against a high-flying India in their upcoming match. The Ekana Sports City in Lucknow will host the high-voltage clash on October 29.
England entered the tournament as the defending champions but have failed to do justice to the stature. They have so far won a single match during the campaign and lost the remaining four. With two points in five appearances, England are currently reeling at the bottom half of the points table. Before Sri Lanka, the English brigade suffered defeats at the hands of South Africa, Afghanistan and New Zealand.

India, on the other hand, have been showing their dominance on home soil. The hosts are comfortably sitting at the top of the table after winning all of their five matches. India faced New Zealand in the last fixture, which turned out to be a thrilling affair. The Black Caps batted first and put up a target of 274 runs. The Indian top order made a roaring start to the chase.
The game took a turn after New Zealand sent off three opposition batters in quick succession. That’s when Virat Kohli took over the charge and showcased his A-game. Thanks to his match-winning 95-run knock and a crucial cameo from Ravindra Jadeja, India reached the target in 48 overs.
