India faces England in a crunch match in Lucknow

Rohit Sharma-led team are set to face England in Lucknow on October 29, with one-week gap before resuming their World Cup campaign against the defending champions.

India have 10 points and are at the No. 1 spot in the World Cup 2023 points table. A win against England will give India one foot in the semi-finals, while more wins in their remaining four matches will confirm their spot in the knock-outs.

England are coming after back-to-back losses to Afghanistan and South Africa. They have just one win from four matches and are at the bottom of the CWC 2023 points table with two points to their name. They need to win almost all of their remaining five matches to have an outside chance of making it into the semi-finals.
