World Cup 2019: Players with most sixes, fours, best batting average after India vs England tie

Opener Rohit Sharma's 102-run knock went in vain as hosts England beat Indian by 31 runs to keep their semi-final hopes alive in the 2019 International Cricket Council (ICC) World Cup on Sunday. 

Chasing a competitive target of 338 runs to win at the Edgbaston in Birmingham, India lost opener KL Rahul for a duck before Rohit Sharma not only brought up his 25th ODI ton but also forged a 138-run partnership with skipper Virat Kohli (66) for the second wicket to put the Men in Blue in the driver's seat. 

However, after the duo's dismissal, Rishabh Pant (32), Hardik Pandya (45), Mahendra Singh Dhoni (unbeaten at 42) and Kedar Jadhav (unbeaten at 12) failed to provide enough fight back as the England bowlers restricted India to a score of 306 for five and snapped their unbeaten streak in the 2019 edition of the tournament.

Liam Plunkett bagged three wickets conceding 55 runs while Chris Woakes also chipped in with two wickets. 

Earlier, opener Jonny Bairstow (111) stitched a huge partnership of 160 runs with his opening partner Jason Roy (66) to help the Eoin Morgan-led side set a good total of 337 for seven. Ben Stokes was another notable contributor for England with 79 runs.

For India, Mohammad Shami was the pick of the bowlers as he scalped his second five-wicket haul by finishing with the figures of five for 69.
