IND vs ENG Match Analysis

In 2023, India hopes to maintain its domination at the ICC Cricket World Cup. In the 29th game, they play England, and a victory would guarantee them a spot in the semifinals. They defeated New Zealand on their way here, and their main players are doing well. After losing to Sri Lanka in the most recent match, England’s path to the semifinals appears arduous. To maintain their aspirations, they need to win this game by a significant margin.  

With five straight victories, the Indians are riding high and will try to secure a spot in the following round. It would be intriguing to watch if England, the reigning champs, can halt the Indian force.

England’s claim to be the greatest white-ball team hasn’t held up. They rank ninth on the points standings and have only triumphed once in their last five games. They need to play their best game to win here because they have a bad record against India when playing on Indian soil.

IND vs ENG Team Preview & Squads 

India

Since he has been playing so well, Rohit Sharma will try to get off to a strong start against Shubman Gill. In the middle order, Virat Kohli has looked unwaveringly reliable. He plans to form alliances with KL Rahul and Shreyas Iyer. Along with Mohammad Shami, Suryakumar Yadav and Ravindra Jadeja bring firepower to this batting lineup. They will want to take on the England bowlers in the final overs.  

Since the England top order has struggled in most games, the bowling attack has performed well in the competition. As such, the team will look to Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammad Siraj to take early wickets. Considering that he took five wickets in the last game, Mohammad Shami will feel secure. The combination of Kuldeep Yadav and Jadeja strengthens this attack.

India Squads

India

Rohit Sharma (c), KL Rahul (wk), Virat Kohli, Suryakumar Yadav, Kuldeep Yadav, Ravindra Jadeja, Jasprit Bumrah, Shreyas Iyer, Mohammed Shami, Shubman Gill, Mohammed Siraj.

England

Jonny Bairstow and Dawid Malan are starting, and the team will need a strong first-wicket stand from them to win this match. They will need runs from Joe Root, Jos Buttler, and Ben Stokes because the middle order has let the team down on multiple occasions. Chris Woakes, Moeen Ali, and Liam Livingstone must perform well in the lower middle order for the side to prevail.  

In the competition, the bowling attack appears to be rusty. The Indian top-order is playing well, therefore Chris Woakes and David Willey will need to do well with the new ball for the team. In the middle overs, Adil Rashid and Moeen Ali need to use their experience. Mark Wood and Livingstone both play significant supporting roles.

England Squads

England

Jos Buttler (c & wk), Jonny Bairstow, Joe Root, Liam Livingstone, Chris Woakes, Moeen Ali, David Willey, Ben Stokes, Adil Rashid, Dawid Malan, Mark Wood

In the last two games, the teams chasing the score won handily. In the second half of the game, the dew factor makes it challenging to handle the ball. The side that wins this toss will thus not think twice about bowling first.

As the game moves into the afternoon, the sky over Lucknow would be clear and the day would likely be hot and muggy.

It will be a difficult pitch to bat on since hitters would have to get used to the slow surface. On this surface, the first team to bat would aim for 300 to feel at ease.
