England's dismal showing at the World Cup has been met with shock back home and marks the end of a brilliant era, according to former captain Nasser Hussain.
England had yet another forgettable outing at the ongoing ODI World Cup as they got outplayed by Sri Lanka on Thursday in Bengaluru. Opting to bat first, the Jos Buttler-led side got bundled out for 156, despite Ben Stokes scoring 43 runs. Later, Sri Lanka chased down the target in 25.4 with eight wickets in hand. This was England's fourth loss in five matches and the defending champions are on the brink of elimination from the race for the semi-finals.
Former skipper Nasser Hussain feels reliance on statistics rather than reading the conditions has led to England's downfall in the ongoing World Cup, adding that the reigning champions don't look like a side that can defend its title. England fell to a 229-run loss to South Africa on Saturday-- their biggest in ODI cricket and their third in the ongoing tournament. England had opted to field in humid conditions and South Africa piled 399. Jos Buttler and Co then suffered a batting collapse to be bundled out for 170 in 22 overs.
World Cup 2023 Points Table: The Rohit Sharma-led Indian cricket team defeated Bangladesh by seven wickets in an ODI Cricket World Cup match. Virat Kohli scored his 48th ODI ton off 97 balls as India got the better of a 257-run target set by Bangladesh in 41.3 overs. Despite the win, India failed to climb up to the top of the Cricket World Cup points table. Both India and New Zealand are on eights points from four matches but the latter has a net run-rate of +1.923 while the former NRR is +1.659.
Indian cricket team fast bowler Mohammed Siraj's animated celebrations following the dismissal of Bangladesh batter Mehidy Hasan Miraz during their Cricket World Cup 2023 match on Thursday. Miraz tried playing the delivery down the leg side but ended up getting a fine edge on the ball. The ball was travelling quite fast behind the stumps but KL Rahul was up to the challenge and he pulled off a full length dive to complete one of the most impressive catches of this year's Cricket World Cup till now. Siraj was visibly excited at the dismissal and he put his finger on the lips before giving a send-off to the batter.
England are no strangers to adversity at World Cups and have proved they can fight their way back to glory, former captain Eoin Morgan said, calling on Jos Buttler's side to quickly put their opening defeat by New Zealand behind them.
Former England captain Nasser Hussain believes that young India opener Yashasvi Jaiswal has the technique and mindset to become a successful batter in international cricket. Left-handed batter Jaiswal left everyone utterly impressed with his brilliant century against West Indies in his debut match. His knock of 171 runs helped the Rohit Sharma-led side to register a comfortable victory by an innings and 141 runs in the first Test of the two-match series. The 21-year-old batter, who had a brilliant IPL 2023 for Rajasthan Royals, returned scores of 57 and 38 in the second Test to end the series as the highest run getter.
England are set to face India in a five-match series next year during the World Test Championship (WTC) 2023-25 cycle. The games will start in January and go till March 2024. While for India it will be an opportunity to grab valuable WTC points against a strong opponent, England too will be raring to showcase their 'Bazball' approach on the soil of one of the most successful Test teams in the world. Former England captain Nasser Hussain feels that the travelling side will face a stern challenge against Rohit Sharma and company in India.
