Having lost the wickets of Ben Stokes, Jonny Bairstow, Joe Root, and Dawid Malan in the first ten overs, England was in serious trouble from the start of the powerplay. Jos Butlet's wicket in the fifteenth over and Moeen Ali's dismissal in the twenty-fiveth over came next. At 84/6 midway through the innings, England was leading. Additionally, the lower order was unable to form a cohesive unit, as the team was bunched up at 129 on 35th over. The defending champions' World Cup match on Sunday was a must-win, and England bowlers led by David Willey held India to 229-9 despite captain Rohit Sharma's 87.
England decided to bowl at Lucknow in an attempt to salvage a win and preserve their remote chances of reaching the semi-finals. Willey, a left-arm quick, returned figures of 3-45, including the valuable wicket of Virat Kohli for a nine-ball duck.
Leg-spinner Adil Rashid and fast bowler Chris Woakes each claimed two wickets, and England looked like a different team thanks to the fielders' energetic effort, who threw themselves around to stop runs.
After five games and four losses, the 2019 champions are positioned last in the 10-team standings.
Before taking Willey's third wicket, Suryakumar Yadav made a valiant 49, but the tail was outplayed for the entire fifty overs.
The bottom-seeded English team decided to bowl in an attempt to win and prolong their remote hopes of reaching the semi-finals. Chris Woakes took opener Shubman Gill for nine in the fourth over.
India fell to 40-3 in 12 overs when Woakes grabbed another wicket to send Shreyas Iyer (four) back to the pavilion for four.
At the Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow, Rohit Sharma will lead India to the lead in batting. There won't be any changes to either team's starting lineup for the IND vs ENG match. There was a draw in the last ICC ODI World Cup match between these two teams, which took place in India.
The team led by Rohit Sharma Being the only team in the tournament without a loss thus far, the hosts India will be encouraged. Being a pain in the side for the Men in Blue in recent ICC tournaments, the Indians would be especially happy with their victory over New Zealand in the most recent match.
India's batting and bowling were tested against the Black Caps, and they performed better than expected. Stars Mohammed Shami, Mohammed Siraj, and Jasprit Bumrah among their bowling lineup helped India defeat the Kiwis from 205/4 at one point to 273 all out in three innings.
In the batting department too, India was able to easily chase down the total thanks to the heroic efforts of Virat Kohli and Ravindra Jadeja, despite losing a few quick wickets following a strong opening partnership.
In their previous five tournament games, England has only triumphed once. Bangladesh is the only team they have defeated, winning by 137 runs. They suffered defeats by 9 wickets against New Zealand, 69 runs against Afghanistan, 229 runs against South Africa, and 8 wickets against Sri Lanka. It won't be simple for England at this point in the tournament to face the best team.
