‘Perfect’ Team India eye World Cup 2022 revenge against clueless England in IND vs ENG

With 5 wins in 5 matches, Rohit and Co. will be aiming to be ruthless against England who have struggled in the tournament so far.

A near perfect India will face a struggling England in their next match of ICC ODI World Cup 2023 on October 29 at the Ekana Stadium in Lucknow. With 5 wins in 5 matches, Rohit and Co. will be aiming to be ruthless against Jos Buttler and Co. who are languishing at the bottom of the table.

The Men in Blue will take revenge as their motivation in the game against the defending champions as they will look for payback for humiliating 10-wicket defeat in the T20 World Cup last year.

Team India suffered a 10-wicket annihilation against the Three Lions in the second semifinal of the T20 World Cup 2022. The safe approach tactic against the ‘bazball’ English side failed horribly as Rohit Sharma and Co. could post only 168 in 20 overs.

In reply, England’s Jos Buttler and Alex Hales came out all gun blazing as their record partnership knocked out Team India from the tournament.

A ‘golden’ opportunity for Team India

Not only Team India will have a chance to avenge the 2022 T20 World Cup pain, but they will also have an opportunity to end Jos Buttler and Co.’s World Cup 2023 semi-final hopes.

England is currently languishing at the bottom of the points table with just 1 win in 4 games. The side need to win all their remaining 5 fixtures to stand a chance to qualify for the knockout round.

However, a loss against India would all but end England’s title defence charge as they will be out of the contention for the semi-final spot. England have already lost their key pacer Reece Topley due to a finger injury and their batters have struggled to get going in the tournament so far.
