Rohit Sharma roared in Lucknow!
At the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup 2023, India’s bowlers dominated England in a masterful display under the Lucknow lights, winning by 100 runs and maintaining the host country’s spotless record.
England held India to 229/9 in their 50 overs, keeping the match in the balance at the halfway mark in a ball-heavy encounter.
However, India’s brilliant pace attack crumbled against an out-of-form England batting lineup, as Mohammed Shami took 4/22 and Jasprit Bumrah took 3/32 to secure a comfortable victory.
In retrospect, Rohit Sharma outstanding 87 with the bat kept India’s innings together as wickets fell all around him. The captain nearly reached a century before Liam Livingstone caught him in the deep off Adil Rashid.
In addition, KL Rahul (39), Suryakumar Yadav (49), and Jasprit Bumrah (16) made sure the hosts of the tournament reached a score that provided the bowlers with a target.
England will next clash with arch-rivals Australia. While India play Lankans at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai.
