India set to play England in a huge ICC World Cup 2023 match on Sunday at the Ekana Stadium in Lucknow. The 2023 World Cup hosts are currently flying with five victories out of the first five matches.

England, on the other hand, have been struggling and have just managed a single victory in their first five matches and are virtually out of the tournament already. Amid this, India will be hoping to get their 6th victory on the trot, and thus ensure their berth for the semifinals.

The Indian batting has been on top show in this tournament so far. Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, Shubman Gill and others have racked up massive runs across matches in the tournament. Kohli and Rohit in particular caused mayhem in opponent bowling as they have racked up 354 and 311 runs, respectively.
