Rohit Sharma-led India quickly reclaimed the top spot in the Cricket World Cup 2023 points table after handing the defending champions England a fifth loss in the ongoing tournament in India.
Embarrassment continued for Jos Buttler's men as they suffered another huge defeat in the marquee event in Lucknow. After a terrific performance from bowlers, India defeated England by a whopping 100 runs to reach the top of the table again.
While this is their straight 6th win in as many games, their net run rate now stands at +1.405. The Men in Blue have 12 points. However, their NRR is still behind South Africa's which is at +2.032 with 10 points from 5 wins from 6 games.
On the other hand, England who were already out of contention for the semifinal spot are languishing at the bottom of the points table with a deplorable NRR of -1.652 with just a single win from 6 games.
