Team India continues winning momentum at the World Cup

After Rohit Sharma's valiant 87 on a difficult pitch, Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Shami extinguished flames in their enchanted opening spells as India defeated England by 100 runs to win their sixth consecutive World Cup in Lucknow on Sunday. Without the outstanding effort of captain Rohit (87 off 101 balls), who stood out as most Indian batters fell by the wayside on a two-paced pitch, the decisive victory would not have been possible. In the final overs, Suryakumar Yadav (49) scored the crucial runs to take India to 229 for nine.

The unbeatable hosts, Shami (4/22) and Bumrah (3/32) stole the show with the ball as the England batsmen once again made a pitiful figure, collapsing to 129 all out in 34.5 overs.
