Cricket World Cup 2023 India demolish England in a low scoring match

India beat England by 100 runs at the ICC World Cup in Lucknow on Sunday, defending a mere total of 229. It was India's sixth straight win of the tournament as England, the 2019 champions, suffered their fifth defeat. The 2019 champions now sit bottom of the 10-team table with five defeats from six matches.

Paceman Mohammed Shami took four wickets as India left the English team struggling from the top in their chase of 230 to win Sunday's World Cup clash. Jasprit Bumrah struck on successive balls to send back Dawid Malan, for 16, and Joe Root, for nought, to be on a hat-trick at a deafening and nearly-packed Ekana Stadium in Lucknow.

Jonny Bairstow played out the hat-trick ball, but England soon lost Ben Stokes, bowled by Shami to raise India's hopes of defending the total.

England kept losing wickets, including skipper Jos Buttler for 10 off Kuldeep Yadav and Shami struck one more time to flatten the opposition at the 25-over mark. The paceman picked up Adil Rashid to grab his fourth wicket of the night.
