India vs England World Cup 2023 Overview: Highlights, Expected Playing 11, Streaming Details & Weather Forecast

India vs England, World Cup 2023 Match 29: India and England were among the favourites to win the ICC Cricket World Cup when the tournament returned for its 13th edition in 2023. However, 28 games into the World Cup, England is all but eliminated from qualifying for the playoffs.

England is 1-4 in its first five games and will be effectively knocked out of the tournament if it loses its next game. India and England are set to clash on October 29 in Match 29 of the 2023 ODI World Cup at Lucknow’s Ekana Cricket Stadium. India is unbeaten in five straight games, while it’s a do-or-die match for England.

India is at the number on the points table with 10 points, and England is at the bottom with 2 points. In 2019 too, a somewhat similar scenario played out. India faced England, coming off five straight wins, but was defeated by 31 runs. England went on to lift the trophy. However, times are different now. India is on a hot streak and has dominated teams like Australia, Pakistan and New Zealand.

The showdown between Jasprit Bumrah and Jos Buttler, Virat Kohli and Ben Stokes are sure to be epic. Hopefully, no bad weather, injuries or other adverse conditions will affect the match.

India vs England CWC 2023 Match Overview

• The 2023 ICC World Cup Match 29 between India and England is an important game in the tournament.
• A win for England may keep them alive in the World Cup and also shake up the rankings.
• Multiple teams have 4 points each, and England will join Sri Lanka, Pakistan, Netherlands and Afghanistan with another 2 points.
• Although the chance of qualification will be slim, England may reach the semis if the top 4 teams suffer more dramatic upsets at the hands of the bottom 4 teams.
• Currently, host India is the only unbeaten team in the tournament and will look to maintain its streak. England faces a do-or-die situation.
• England skipper Jos Buttler has failed as a batsman and captain so far in the 2023 ODI World Cup. Other players like Ben Stokes, Joe Root, Harry Brook and Mark Wood have also struggled. The team doesn’t look like the defending champs at all.
• On the other hand, Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma and Jasprit Bumrah have been the highlights of India’s World Cup campaign.
• Unfortunately, star player and key allrounder Hardik Pandya will be sitting out the next few games due to an ankle injury. Top English pacer Reece Topley has also been ruled out of the tournament.
• Ravichandran Ashwin could make the cut in the India squad, but the red soil pitch of the Ekana stadium will favour seamers more. So, it’s unlikely India will play 3 spinners or replace the in-form Kuldeep Yadav or Ravindra Jadeja with Ashwin.
• India and England have an exciting rivalry that’s bound to rouse the 50,000 Ekana crowd on October 29.
• In the ODI World Cup, England holds a 4-3 record over India. However, India has a better record in One-Day International cricket. It remains to be seen how the two teams will perform in the highly competitive match.
• Check out a brief overview of today’s India vs England match below.
