India vs England Head To Head Stats: Which Team Has The Advantage Ahead Of Cricket World Cup 2023 Game?

When the Cricket World Cup schedule was announced in July, the clash between India and England was expected to be a marquee match. However, the reality couldn't be more different. England's disappointing performance in the World Cup thus far has left fans perplexed. With just one win in five games, this is the worst showing by a defending champion since 1999. On the other hand, India has been on a winning streak, emerging as the only unbeaten team with five consecutive victories. As things stand, there is a significant gulf in performance between the two sides.

England's Struggles

England's lone victory came against Bangladesh in Dharamsala, but their current ninth-place ranking and negative run-rate of -1.634 have raised questions about the team's prospects. Mathematically, England still has a chance to make the semifinals by winning their remaining games to reach 10 points. However, this would depend on other results going in their favour.

India's Dominance

Meanwhile, India has been in scintillating form. The team has defeated Australia, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Bangladesh, and New Zealand, accumulating 10 points and boasting a positive run rate of 1.353. With a perfect record, they are the team to beat in this tournament.
