Two weeks into the Cricket World Cup, Mumbai’s Wankhede Stadium will finally see some real action. This is a most venerable city — and venue — for Indian cricket. The sport first found its roots in this city’s maidans (local parks) a century ago, and the crowning moment arrived in 2011 when India beat Sri Lanka to lift its second World Cup.
England’s Ben Stokes winces during batting practice ahead of his team’s match on Tuesday against Bangladesh in Dharamshala, India, Sunday, Oct. 8, 2023. Afghanistan’s Rahmanullah Gurbaz runs between the wickets as England’s Chris Woakes, center, and Jonny Bairstow watch during the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup match between Afghanistan and England in New Delhi, India, Sunday, Oct. 15, 2023.
Both teams are in a similar state of mind — shell-shocked at their recent losses to Afghanistan and the Netherlands, respectively.Kohli’s hundred propels India to victory over Bangladesh at Cricket World CupEngland is worse off at this stage. It lost to New Zealand in the opening game by nine wickets, and is fifth in thewith two points from three games. Those two points came from its 137-run win over Bangladesh in Dharamsala — a good enough margin of victory to improve its run-rate.
It was also impacted by Ben Stokes’ hip injury, and the mercurial cricketer is all set to return to action against South Africa. It was the second time in 12 months that the Dutch side tripped South Africa at an ICC event. The Proteas lost in the 2022 T20 World Cup too and it cost them a spot in the semifinal. Thankfully for them, this reversal has come earlier in the competition and it is only a matter of getting going again.
