World Cup 2023: Rating bowling performances of all teams in first week
After 11 days of the cricketing extravaganza, it's essential to rate the bowling displays of all 10 sides.
5. England - 6/10
England are in a perilous situation in this World Cup as they are on the back foot after their second loss of this tournament against Afghanistan in Delhi. Since the start of the competition, they didn’t look settled and confident as a side. In the inaugural game against New Zealand, they faced a nine-wicket loss.
At the iconic Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad, Devon Conway (152 off 121) and Rachin Ravindra (123 off 96) dominated the frail bowling line-up and registered a comfortable nine-wicket win. Both batters stitched a 273-run partnership in this contest which played an instrumental role in the Kiwi team’s one-sided triumph. England’s key bowlers Mark Wood, Chris Woakes, and Adil Rashid struggled in this game as they failed to contain the flow of runs.
After the embarrassing defeat at the hands of New Zealand, the England team looked fabulous against Bangladesh in all departments of the game and recorded a 137-run win. Saving a humongous total of 364, England bowlers also chipped in with their amazing bowling display in this enormous victory, bundling out the opponents on a score of 227.
