ODI World Cup 2023: Rating teams based on their bowling performances
On India’s batting-friendly tracks, the bowlers’ job was never easy in the tournament but the trophy winners Australia and some other teams put up some great bowling performances.
7. England- 6/10
England were favourites to win the trophy before the 2023 World Cup but they lost confidence after losing to Afghanistan by 69 runs at the Arun Jaitley Stadium. The Jos Buttler-led side never got going after that defeat and finished seventh on the ODI World Cup 2023 points table.
In the end, they amassed three wins off their nine contests and were only successful in qualifying for the 2025 Champions Trophy. On India’s batting pitches, England's bowlers couldn’t display their fighting spirit against batters which made the English team’s journey difficult in the competition.
Bowling stalwarts Mark Wood, Chris Woakes, and Sam Curran are accustomed to Indian conditions but they failed to deliver solid results to their side. The leggie Adil Rashid did his job efficiently with the ball, bagging 15 wickets in nine matches at an economy of 5.18.
