India and England will take the field in match no. 29 of the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 on Sunday, October 29, at the BRSABV Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow.

The Indian team have won all of their five matches in the tournament. They head into the game against England as the second-placed team in the World Cup 2023 points table.

India beat 2019 runners-up New Zealand by four wickets at Dharamsala in their last match. England, on the other hand, are in a precarious position in their title defence.

Jos Buttler and Co. have lost four of their five matches in the tournament, ranking ninth in the points table. Their only win was a 137-run success against Bangladesh in their second match.

England joined the party after everything was done and dusted, finding enough reasons to smile while humiliating a demotivated Pakistan by 93 runs in their final World Cup game in Kolkata on Saturday. By virtue of winning their last two games, England finished seventh in the 10-team table and qualified for the Champions Trophy, scheduled in Pakistan in 2025. Pakistan's improbable hopes of a semi-final qualification were dashed the moment England batted first and scored 337 for nine in 50 overs.

A match-winning spell, a stellar fielding display and a vital contribution with the bat against arch-rivals England made for the "most satisfying" ODI for Australia spinner Adam Zampa. The leg-spinner smashed 29 off 19 balls, featuring four hits to the boundary, and then returned with miserly figures of 3/21. To add to that, Zampa took a stunning running catch to send David Willey back to the pavilion and complete a perfect day.
