England need a miracle to revive the CWC 2023 campaign 

Ahead of the IND vs ENG CWC 2023 clash, England have a lot of problems to address. The English cricket team is not doing well in any of the departments and the think tank may come up with a lot of changes in the next match. Another problem with the defending champions is the poor performance of all-rounder Ben Stokes, who came out of ODI retirement ahead of the CWC 2023.

On the other hand, India are currently undefeated in the tournament so far and have put up a complete team performance in every match. The Rohit Sharma-led side will be aiming to continue the unbeaten streak against England and put one step more forward in qualifying for the knockouts of the tournament.
