Men’s ODI WC: Rohit, Shami, Bumrah Star As India Maintain Unbeaten Run With 100-run Win Over England
BRSABV Ekana Cricket Stadium: Due to its famous rulers the Nawabs, Lucknow was given the moniker of being the 'City of Nawabs'. On Sunday, India came out at the BRSABV Ekana Cricket Stadium in front of 46,000 fans and played like kings, after being in trouble at one point, to thrash England by 100 runs and maintain their unbeaten run in the 2023 Men’s ODI World Cup.
Put into setting up a total for the first time in the competition, India could only make 229/9 on a tricky, two-paced pitch. Captain Rohit Sharma top-scored with 87 from 101 balls and stood tall even as other batters fell around him in a bid to go big.
Rohit held the innings together with a gritty knock laced with 10 fours and three sixes on a tough pitch while adding 91 runs for the fourth wicket with KL Rahul. Suryakumar Yadav made a crucial 49 in the back end for India to go above 200, which was initially deemed as a below-par total.
