Match Preview:
A roaring Indian team will lock horns against a depleted England team in the ICC ODI World Cup 2023. The Men in Blue have won all their games in the World Cup so far and are on track for a historic finish. On the other hand, the English team have had a disappointing campaign with just a win over Bangladesh.
Pitch Report:
The Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow has had some balanced pitches with an average score of 232 where both batters and bowlers can get the advantage. The batters have scored a lot of runs but tend to struggle as the pitch slows down. At the same time, fast bowlers can come into play early in both innings with a new ball while spinners can use the longer dimensions to pick up wickets.
Team Analysis:
India
Rohit Sharma and Co. have lived up to the favourites' tag to the tee with all-round performances against each team. The batting has been incredible with the likes of Sharma, Virat Kohli and KL Rahul in top form. Similarly in the bowling department, Jasprit Bumrah has once again emerged as one of the bowlers in the world.
Team News:
Hardik Pandya has been out due to an ankle injury and hence is slated to miss this coming fixture.

England
At the same time, England has looked like the shell of the team that won the recent T20 World Cup and dominated white-ball cricket over the past few years. Their biggest strength, the English batting has been a massive disappointment with big names like Jos Buttler, Joe Root and Jonny Bairstow failing to score runs. Hence bowling has also struggled with the batters failing to put up consistent runs.
Team News:
Reece Topley left the England camp after suffering a finger fracture and hence returned home.
