Mohammed Shami took four wickets as India hammered England by 100 runs on Sunday to stay unbeaten in the ICC World Cup 2023 and all but push the defending champions out of the semi-final race.


Chasing a tricky 230 for victory in Lucknow, England collapsed to 129 all out in 34.5 overs to suffer their fifth defeat in six matches and leave their title defence at the mercy of a mathematical miracle. The hosts have six wins in as many games and are almost certain to make the last-four.


Jasprit Bumrah struck on successive balls to send back Dawid Malan, for 16, and Joe Root, for nought, to be on a hat-trick at a deafening and nearly-packed Ekana Stadium in Lucknow. Jonny Bairstow played out the hat-trick ball but England soon lost Ben Stokes, bowled by Shami to raise India's hopes of defending the total.

Shami then brought the house down when he bowled Bairstow for 14 as 46,000 fans, largely all Indian in blue jerseys, roared. England kept losing wickets including skipper Jos Buttler for 10 off Kuldeep Yadav and Shami struck one more time to flatten the opposition at the 25-over mark.

Earlier, England fast bowlers David Willey and Chris Woakes shared five wickets between them to restrict India to 229-9 after the defending champions elected to bowl. The 2019 champions sit bottom of the 10-team table with four defeats from five matches.
