Table of Contents

India vs England will be the 29th ICC Cricket World Cup Match 2023, which is going to be played at Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium, Lucknow, on October 29, 2023.

India will be going to play their match after a long break against England, and it is going to be the revenge match for them as last time England won against them by 10 wickets, which was humiliating for the Indian team who coming into the match after winning five matches in a row.

India won their last match against New Zealand, which defeated them in every ICC event since 2003, but this team, India, overcame their toughest rival in the ICC events and won the match by four wickets. It all happened because of Virat Kohli’s amazing batting, and Mohammed Shami’s five-wicket spell stopped New Zealand on just 273.

England is already out of the World Cup after defeat against Sri Lanka in their last match by 8 wickets, which dropped their place to the 9th spot in the World Cup, and now they can not get 12 points, which is needed to qualify for the semi-finals. The England captain, Jos Buttler, was thoroughly disappointed by the loss, which he said in the post-match conference.

It’s tough. As a captain, I feel disappointed in myself and the team because we haven’t performed our best. We have many experienced players and didn’t become a bad team overnight. The frustrating part is that we’re falling far short of our usual standards, and there doesn’t seem to be a clear reason for it. Our team selection hasn’t been the issue; it’s more about not meeting our own high standards.

He said they made mistakes like Root’s run-out, which we don’t usually make. We’re not building good partnerships or doing the basics well with both batting and bowling. The most important thing is our personal pride and the standards we usually set for ourselves. We want to get back to playing good cricket in the upcoming matches, and we’ll see what happens.

Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium, Lucknow pitch has been one of the most balanced pitches, but slowly, it’s getting on the slower side, which helps the spin bowlers. In the match between Australia and Sri Lanka, Zampa took four wickets in eight matches, which shows that the turn can be purchased from the surface, which might help the Indian spinners more.

Team Preview Of India

The Indian team is confident after winning five out of five matches, but their next match is against the side who humiliated them in the last ICC World Cup event. India’s batting and bowling unit is doing quite well, but their fielding has been a bit weak in recent times, which can be a concern for them. They got a good break, which might help the players return to their best after playing three matches with only one or two days of rest.

Important players for the India Team in the match against England

1-Shubman Gill will play his first ODI match against the England team who troubled the prince of cricket in the T20s and Test Cricket, but Gill’s best format is his playing style in the ODIs. However, he did not have a good start to the World Cup, but whole knows his potential in the upcoming years in Cricket, which will be the next big thing in the World. He scored the fastest 2000 runs in ODI cricket, which clearly shows his talent, and right now, he averages around 62, which is amazing for a batter who has played 38 ODI matches.

2- Ravindra Jadeja has been one of the best Indian all-rounders against England in every format, which will be crucial for them. He played 25 matches, scoring 501 runs with an average of 45.45, and took 38 wickets, which is quite amazing stats by him against England.

3-Kuldeep Yadav can use the slow pace of the pitch against England, who might have trouble playing him on the slow surface of Ekana, but in the last match, he was not well controlled over his bowling because he kept bowling fast balls rather than relying on his slow spin. He has 10 wickets in 6 matches he played against England, and he took 8 wickets in 5 World Cup matches.

Team Preview Of England

England will make changes once again in the next match, as in the last match, the batting unit collapsed just like it did against South Africa. It was not a tough track to bat on, as shown by the Sri Lanka batter. The bowling unit is decent but not up to the standards of the England team. The captaincy has been below average, and it is very clear that England players do not trust their captain much, and even Buttler is not performing at all.

Important players for the England Team in the match against India

1- Joe Root has been one of the best players of England against India in every format, and he does have an average of 46, scoring three centuries, which shows how good he is against India. He needs to score big because he is one of the most experienced batters who knows Indian pitches well, but he is not in good form, and in the last match against Sri Lanka, he got run out, which is the worst way to get out.

2- Jonny Bairstow has been good against India, and even in the World Cup, he started the innings well but then threw away his wicket. However, he was lucky not to get out on the first ball in the last match. He scored 627 runs in 17 matches against India with an average of 44.

3- Dawid Malan is the best batter for England in the World Cup, but he does not have a great record against India. However, in the last 7 matches, he scored 443 runs with an average of 63.

India vs England Match Prediction

India will be the favorite to win the match, but England has nothing to lose now, and they might give all in their next match.
