ICC World Cup 2023: India vs England -Match Preview, Pitch Report, Predictions, and Tips on Betadda

India and England will face off in the World Cup this year, on 29th October 2023, at the Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium, in Lucknow. The match will start at 2 pm IST.

The most recent match took place in 2019, with England eventually taking the win and later winning the   World Cup title. England look set to be favourites to win the upcoming Cricket World Cup this year, but the Indians have the home-soil advantage which can easily turn the tides for the defending champions.

Pitch Report – The Ekana Stadium in Lucknow has been a fruitful ground for teams batting first. The batting conditions provide a true test of a batter’s skill and temperament. With consistent bounce, an even outfield, and minimal assistance for bowlers, it’s a paradise for those who wield the willow.  

Players Face-Off – A much-awaited duel is about to take place between India’s prolific opener, Rohit Sharma, and England’s formidable pacer, Mark Wood. Sharma’s impressive record stands at 10,423 runs in 256 matches, while Mark has asserted his prowess by taking 74 wickets in a mere 64 matches.
