England stopped India’s victory campaign
In 2023 World Cup Indian (India) Fans cheering for the team should remember the 2019 World Cup. In 2019 too, the Indian team had a bang. India’s first match in 2019 was against South Africa. India won this match with a huge margin of 6 wickets. Like the match against Australia in 2023, that match in 2019 was also a low-scoring match. In 2019, the Indian team defeated Australia by 36 runs. This was followed by the third match against New Zealand, which was washed out due to rain. In the fourth match, India defeated Pakistan by 89 runs. After this, the Indian team had to face Afghanistan.

If we leave South Africa aside, the Indian team has faced and won exactly the same teams in 2023 as compared to 2019. In 2019, there was rain in the match against New Zealand, this time India has also easily defeated New Zealand. Now the next challenge is England. Which stopped the winning streak of Team India in 2019.
How England defeated the Indian team
This match was played on 30 June 2019 in Birmingham. England won the toss and decided to bat first. Batting first, the host team got off to a good start. The Indian team had to wait 22 overs for the first success. Jason Roy was dismissed by Kuldeep Yadav in 22.1 overs. 160 runs were added on the scoreboard. After this, Jonny Bairstow scored a brilliant century. Ben Stokes also played a powerful innings of 79 runs off 54 balls and England added 337 runs for 7 wickets.
In response, India did not start well. KL Rahul was out without opening his account. However, after this there was a century partnership between captain Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma. When Virat Kohli was dismissed for 66 in the 29th over, India’s score was 146 runs. Later batsmen also contributed well but it proved insufficient. Rishabh Pant scored 32, Hardik Pandya scored 45, Dhoni scored 42 runs. But the target of 338 runs was difficult. The Indian team lost this match by 31 runs. England won this match. . The duo of Kuldeep Yadav and Yuzvender Chahal almost broke up. In that match, this pair gave 132 runs in 20 overs and only one wicket came to their account.
Where can England trap India?
The England team still has a strong opening batsman like Jonny Bairstow. Everyone knows the batting power hitting of David Malan and Jos Buttler. If the England team regains its lost balance and confidence against Sri Lanka, then it will pose problems for the Indian team. The big problem for the Indian team is Hardik Pandya’s injury. Hardik Pandya is out of the match against England. Right now, Team India has options for everyone from wicketkeepers to fast bowlers and spinners. But there is no option for Hardik Pandya at the moment. Hardik Pandya is the sixth bowler option in the current squad. His specialty is bowling at a speed of around 140 km per hour and fast batting in the middle order. It will be difficult for Rohit Sharma to field a balanced playing XI in Pandya’s absence. In this match between India and England, everything depends on what England will be able to do against Sri Lanka.
