IND vs ENG ODI WC 2023: Venue, where to watch, head-to-head record, probable lineups & more

Nearly a year after their last meeting at a World Cup, Rohit Sharma's India will take on Jos Buttler's England in Lucknow on Sunday. 

An unbeaten and high on confidence India will take on a wounded England side in a 2023 ICC ODI World Cup match at the Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow on Sunday.

The Rohit Sharma-led side come into this fixture after not having played the entirety of last week and take on the reigning champions, who by the admission of their skipper Jos Buttler, are almost out of contention to qualify for the semi-finals.

Venue and Pitch Details

This will be the fourth game of the World Cup at this venue and the teams chasing a score have won two out of the three matches so far. But as South Africa showed against Australia in the opening match at this ground, the presence of a potent bowling attack can ensure that teams batting first are in contention to win games, later in the evening.

Injury updates and probable Playing XIs

Hardik Pandya was ruled out of the fixture as he continues to recover from the ankle injury that he sustained against Bangladesh in Pune. Hence, the Men in Blue might be tempted to play the same XI that beat New Zealand at Dharamsala last week.

England drafted in Brydon Carse as a replacement for Reece Topley, but might stick to the same team that lost to Sri Lanka in Bengaluru on Thursday.

Likely Playing XIs: India: Rohit Sharma (c), Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer, KL Rahul (wk), Suryakumar Yadav, Ravindra Jadeja, Kuldeep Yadav, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Shami, Mohammed Siraj.

England: Jonny Bairstow, Dawid Malan, Joe Root, Ben Stokes, Jos Buttler (c & wk), Liam Livingstone, Moeen Ali, Chris Woakes, David Willey, Adil Rashid, Mark Wood.

Players to watch out for

Batters-Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, Dawid Malan, Ben Stokes
