India’s World Cup campaign achieved official invincibility on Sunday, with Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Shami delivering a powerful performance. It was India’s sixth straight win in the World Cup. India’s fast-paced effort eliminated any hopes of salvaging their disastrous campaign. Despite batting first and posting what looked to be a below-average 229/9, India won by 100 runs in 34.5 overs.

England suffered a false dawn when Siraj bowled too full. In a challenging chase, a four-over total of 26 for no loss can always calm the nerves. But the match ended before England could clap along to the MC at the Ekana stadium with “Boom, Boom.” Ben Stokes will get a Shami masterclass in the eighth over, similar to Virat Kohli’s impatient 9-ball duck earlier in the day. The United Kingdom 33/2. Leggie Kuldeep Yadav snuffed out any hopes of a rebuilding phase with his snare of Buttler and Livingstone.
‘Excellent vision’ for India’s third ODI World Cup victory’
World Cup 2023: India put up what initially appeared to be a below-par 229/9 batting first, but they won by 100 runs in 34.5 overs. England faced a false dawn as they attempted to chase 230 on a difficult pitch that even some of India’s finest hitters found difficult, especially with the dew starting to fall.
World Cup 2023: India vs. England
On Sunday, India’s World Cup campaign achieved official invincibility. Down and out, England looked to be enjoying themselves until the new white ball changed into a shouting, round weapon of destruction under the spotlight by Jasprit Bumrah (3/32 in 6.5 overs) and Mohammed Shami (4/22 in 7). Both were fiery, relentless, avenging angels of pace and fizz, seam, and genius.
India’s sixth straight win in the World Cup
The fast-paced effort of the two eliminated any hopes Jos Buttler’s men had of salvaging their disastrous campaign. Additionally, it was India’s sixth straight win. It is not a team that follows the law of averages.
India put up what initially appeared to be a below-par 229/9 batting first, but they won by 100 runs in 34.5 overs. Chasing 230 on a difficult pitch that even some of India’s finest batters found difficult, and with the dew setting in, England suffered a false dawn when Siraj bowled too full, and Dawid Malan’s batsmanship produced boundaries.
World Cup 2023: England’s innings
In a challenging chase, a four-over total of 26 for no loss can always calm the nerves. In all fairness, the match ended before England could clap along to the MC at the Ekana stadium with “Boom, Boom.”
On the fifth ball of the fifth over, Bumrah, who kept posing questions with deliveries that fell short of being of a decent length, got Malan to chop. Joe Root got the next ball; he pitched up, skiddy, kept low, and got stuck flush on the pads in front of the stumps. Bumrah gave an air punch and jumped high. Root hobbled away, but not before squandering a DRS call.
Ben Stokes will get a Shami masterclass in the eighth over. Duck with ten balls. Similar to the impatient 9-ball duck that Virat Kohli made earlier in the day. United Kingdom 33/2. With his snaring of Buttler and Livingstone, leggie Kuldeep Yadav snuffed out any hopes of a rebuilding phase.
