India’s figures in these ODI matches are much better than England. England has won only 44 ODI matches against India. At the same time, the Indian team has won 57 ODI matches from England.
England had won the last Cricket World Cup, but this time its condition is very weak. The England team is far down in the points table. England has played 4 matches so far in the World Cup and has lost 3 matches. Due to winning only 1 match, England has only 2nd position in the points table. Pakistan, South Africa, Australia, New Zealand and India are above England in the points table. Due to England not being included in the top 4 teams, it is in danger of being out of the tournament. If the England team loses to India on October 29, this danger will increase further. Even if the England team wins over India, it will have to make a lot of efforts to play the semi-final match. In such a situation, this time the World Cup tournament has become a cause of difficulties for England.
