The defending champions England are struggling to secure their second win in the ICC World Cup 2023 under Jos Buttler's captaincy. The team is currently going through a rough phase with just one win in the tournament, Reece Topley was ruled out of the ICC World Cup 2023 due to a finger injury and has not being able to deliver performances consistently.
Rohit Sharma continues to play impressive strokes and is leading the team from the front. Shreyas Iyer pulls a wrong one which landed in the hands of Mark Wood. Ravichandran Ashwin failed to secure his spot in the team despite the match being played on a spinning track in Lucknow.
Can England be successful in breaking India's ICC World Cup 2023 winning streak? What plans Jos Buttler have against the host team is a point to be seen.
