India defeated the defending champions, England, in match number 29 of the 2023 World Cup. Indian bowlers dismantled the World Champions batting line-up to win their sixth consecutive match in the tournament. England suffered their fourth consecutive and fifth overall defeat in this year’s World Cup. The defending champions’ journey in the tournament has so far remained forgetful. Before India, teams like Afghanistan, Sri Lanka, Afghanistan, and New Zealand beat England in a one-sided clash. Most of England’s matches got over before the completion of the 50 overs this time, and the batting line-up of England’s team got destroyed by the Indian bowlers.
Former Indian player Ravi Shastri was in the commentary box during the match, and he didn’t mince his words to criticize England’s team for their awful play. Ravi Shastri, while commenting on England’s performance so far, shamed them for calling themselves the world champions after playing like this.
England should be devastated – spectators, supporters. Because the first match which they lost, 17 overs were left in the game when New Zealand beat them. Against South Africa, they got all out in 20 overs. That game ended early. Then they were all out in 30 overs against Sri Lanka, where SL chased the target and finished the match in 25 overs. Today, they had lost 8 wickets inside 32 overs. You call yourselves World Champions? It means, if they aren’t sad over their performance, who will?”

With their latest defeat, England are now at the bottom of the table, and as it is clearly stated by the ICC that the top 8 teams would qualify for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025, the chances of England missing out on the Champions Trophy are high. Though they have three games left in the tournament, which are against Australia, Pakistan, and the Netherlands, they have to win all of them to be in the top 8 so that they can qualify for the Champions Trophy 2025, which is scheduled to happen in Pakistan.
