England has won the toss and will field first against India in the 29th match of the ICC World Cup 2023, being played at the BRSABV Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow on October 29, 2023.
England captain Jos Buttler says he has opted to bowl first against India in their Cricket World Cup match on Sunday, based on a gut feeling.
“Not anything in particular; it’s just a gut decision,” Buttler said at the toss. “It’s a great occasion, and hopefully today, we bring our best. Today, we want to put up a good show. We haven’t done ourselves justice; today we want to put up a show and play for pride. Playing in front of a full crowd and against India, it’s a great occasion. We are going with the same team.”

India captain Rohit Sharma says he wanted to bat first, but he understands that bowling first is a good option, too, given the new pitch and the fact that England has been struggling with the bat.
“We wanted to bat first, but we also know that bowling first is a good option on a new pitch, especially when the opposition is struggling with the bat,” Sharma said at the toss. “It looks like a good pitch, and it’s been playing well for the 100 overs so far. It’s important to think about the long game, but it’s also important to get the two points.”
“We’ve played some good cricket so far, and it’s always good to have a break. It’s nice to come back here and get back into business. We’re playing the same team we played in the last game.”
