LUCKNOW, India : England captain Jos Buttler won the toss and elected to field against India as the holders seek ways to snap their losing streak at the 50-overs World Cup on Sunday.
India's 'Chase Master' Virat Kohli revealed "reverse slap" as the shot that he would like to borrow from England's consistent batter Joe Root. England have, so far, failed to live up to their pre-tournament billing in the ongoing World Cup, as they sit at the bottom of the table with just two points. However, they will back themselves to pull off a victory against the hosts as the defending champions hold a 4-3 lead over the Men in Blue in head-to-head encounters in ODI World Cups.

England batter Joe Root named India's stalwart batter Virat Kohli as the "greatest chaser of all time" ahead of their upcoming clash in the World Cup on Sunday at Lucknow's Ekana stadium. England have failed to live up to their pre-tournament billing in the ongoing World Cup as they currently sit at the bottom of the table with two points. However, with their backs against the wall and faced with a do-or-die battle, the Three Lions will go all out to pull off a victory against the hosts. The defending champions hold a 4-3 lead over the Men in Blue in head-to-head encounters in ODI World Cups.
Two-time champions India take on holders England in their Cricket World Cup 2023 match at the Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow. With captain Rohit Sharma and star batter Virat Kohli firing on all cylinders in the tournament, India have won all of their five Cricket World Cup games so far. In their previous match, India New Zealand by four wickets in Dharamsala, while England suffered a humiliating defeat at the expense of Sri Lanka. However, England have won four and tied one of the eight matches against India at World Cups.
Two-time ODI World Cup winners India take on England, the reigning champions, in the 29th match of the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 on October 29 at the Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow. Led by Rohit Sharma, India have won all their five matches in the tournament so far. The Indian team beat New Zealand by four wickets in their latest encounter in the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023. Virat Kohli's 95 and Mohammed Shami's 5/54 headlined the team's commanding performance against 2019 World Cup runners-up New Zealand. India, earlier in the tournament, defeated Bangladesh, Afghanistan, Pakistan and Australia - all in run chases. England, on the other hand, have had a poor start to their title defence with four defeats in five matches. Their only win was a 137-run success against Bangladesh while they have lost to New Zealand, Afghanistan, South Africa and Sri Lanka.
In the history of the ICC Cricket World Cup, we have rarely seen a defending champion capitulate as badly as England have so far in the 2023 edition. The 2019 champions are off to a disastrous start, losing four of their opening five matches in the tournament and their title defence mission seems to have reached an impasse way earlier than expected. Their only win in India in the ongoing tournament came against Bangladesh, where the quintessential English white-ball side of the last few years turned up.
Table-toppers India will look to add to their winning streak of five matches when they take on a struggling England in Lucknow. Following their impressive victory over New Zealand, India are expected to seal a comfortable win over the English team on Sunday, virtually securing their place in the knockouts. On the other hand, England find themselves in a must-win situation. The Jos Buttler-captained side will be well aware of the fact that it's not just a win they need, but a convincing one to improve their low net run-rate. The English team currently occupies the ninth position in the 10-team competition, with a total of two points from five matches.
