The current champion England has become a laughing topic in the ongoing World Cup 2023. No one had thought that the condition of the English team would be such that after about five matches, this team would land in the bottom position in the points table.
England has won only one in five matches, while they have lost four. Due to this condition of England, the eyes of Team Rohit and millions of Indian fans are on the match to be played with England on Sunday. But one aspect of the match is that even if England loses this match in Lucknow, still then this team will not be completely out of the World Cup 2023.
If India beats England in the match to be played, then England will advance with one win and three matches left. In such a situation, England team can win a maximum of four matches. India has already crossed this standard and England will advance to the next match. By the time of the match, South Africa and New Zealand will have won four matches each. If Australia defeats New Zealand, it will also have four wins. In such a situation, there will be four teams that have registered four wins.
But here is such a combination of results which shows that England can be ahead on points only three times. In such a situation, the role of run rate will come into play. Now considering that we are not much ahead at the halfway point of the tournament. This is not surprising, one view is that a team can remain in the competition even after losing in the first two-thirds of its campaign.
If England wins the next three matches after losing to India, it will get total eight points. If you imagine that every team scores points before the India vs England match, then in this situation England will be equal to the fourth placed team in terms of points in the mentioned aspect.
