LUCKNOW, India: India maintained their unbeaten streak at the 2023 World Cup with a 100-run victory in a low-scoring contest against holders England, who are facing a premature exit following their fifth defeat in six group matches on Sunday (Oct 29).
The Indian cricket team reclaimed the top spot in the Cricket World Cup 2023 points table with a comprehensive 100-run win over defending champions England in Lucknow on Sunday. It was a brilliant show from the Indian pace duo of Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Shami after setting a somewhat modest total thanks to gritty knocks from Rohit Sharma and Suryakumar Yadav. After the huge victory, India remain the only unbeaten side in the competition with 12 points from 6 matches. On the other hand, England continued their disappointing run as they are bottom of the table with only two points. South Africa is currently second in the points table with 10 points and the best Net Run Rate among all the teams while New Zealand and Australia are third and fourth respectively.
After narrowly missing out on his century last week, which would've put him on level terms with Sachin Tendulkar as the batter with the most number of tons, India batter Virat Kohli was expected to deliver a good show against England in Lucknow on Sunday. However, the India star had a rare bad day as he was dismissed for 0. His stay at the crease was limited to just nine balls during the Cricket World Cup 2023 match against England in Lucknow. This was Kohli's 34th duck in international cricket, the same as Tendulkar, who played 664 match during his illustrious career. Meanwhile, the game against England is Kohli's 513th international match.
Indian women's football team's Paris Olympics dreams went up in smoke after it lost 1-3 to Vietnam in a group C match of the AFC qualifiers second round tournament in Tashkent on Sunday. Having lost their second consecutive match, India are now out of contention for the 2024 Olympics despite having a match in hand. In the first match, India lost 0-7 to former World Cup champions Japan.
New Zealand batsman Rachin Ravindra said he is exceeding his own expectations at the World Cup after hitting a second century in the tournament during Saturday's narrow defeat by Australia at Dharamsala.
Indian para athletes created history on Saturday as they ended their Hangzhou Asian Para Games campaign with an unprecedented 111 medals, the biggest haul for the country in any major international multi-sport event. With 29 gold, 31 silver and 51 bronze in their kitty, the Indian para athletes won four medals more than the record tally of 107 won by the able-bodied athletes in the Asian Games held from September 23 to October 8. India ended at fifth place in the medals tally, a remarkable achievement in itself, below China (521 medals: 214 gold, 167 silver, 140 bronze), Iran (131: 44, 46, 41), Japan (150: 42, 49, 59) and Korea (103: 30, 33, 40).
Indian cricket team fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah took two wickets in two balls to leave England reeling during their Cricket World Cup 2023 match in Lucknow on Sunday. Bumrah struck on the fifth ball of the fifth over as Dawid Malan ended up chopping a delivery directly on to his stumps. It was a big wicket for India who were not able to post a big total and the passion was clear from Bumrah's expressions. The fast bowler struck once again on the very next delivery as Joe Root was trapped LBW on a in-swinging ball that left the experienced batter completely perplexed.
Skipper Rohit Sharma completed 18,000 runs in international cricket, becoming the only fifth Indian to do so. The 36-year-old veteran accomplished this milestone during India's ICC Cricket World Cup match against England at Lucknow. During the match, Rohit batted in an extremely tough situation. Withstanding a fall of wickets from the other end, he kept one end steady to score 87 in 101 balls, with 10 fours and three sixes. He scored runs at a strike rate of over 86. However, he could not complete his eighth World Cup century.
