Winning skipper Rohit Sharma said:
"This was the game, a lot of character in the squad. All our experienced players stood up at the right time and got the game for us. Looking at how the tournament has go on, we had to come and bat here. We were challenged upfront, they bowled pretty well upfront. To get to a total on a pitch that something in it, we just wanted to get to a total we could play with it. We were not great with the bat. Losing three wickets isn't the ideal situation. Couple of guys threw it, including myself. When you look at the overall picture, we were 30 runs short. It's not something you see everyday. When you start your innings, you have to try and get a couple of wickets to put the pressure back on the opposition. You can always rely on our seamers to come good and get those crucial breakthroughs. They exploited the conditions. They put the ball in the right areas. We have a good balance (in the bowling), there's a bit of options and with experience as well. It's very important that the batters put runs on the board," Rohit said.
Thank you so much for joining us for yet another amazing match. See you all tomorrow. Until then, Goodnight folks!
Losing skipper Jos Buttler said:
"Very disappointed. At the halfway stage, chasing 230, we fancied ourselves, same old story. I wasn't sure if dew would come or not. We bowled well, took wickets, we would have taken 229. Personally, I wanted to soak some pressure up and then build a partnership and kill the momentum that India had. It's about committing and executing your skill. There wasn't scoreboard pressure. We are just falling short whichever way we are doing it. Some top players, we are a long way short of our best. Excellent start in the powerplay, there was a bit of indifferent bounce, the ground fielding was good. It felt like today was the day, but we didn't back it up with the bat. We still got lots to play for," Buttler said.

Rohit Sharma adjudged POTM:
"Looking at where we were after the first 10 overs it was really important to create that partnership with KL Rahul. It was a challenging pitch, it got better to bat on as the game progressed, but happy with that win. I have got experience, it's not only about going out there and playing my shots (got to assess the conditions and situation) as well. It was necessary for me to create that partnership with KL. I still felt we were 20 runs short (at the halfway stage). Batting against the new ball was a bit challenging, the ball got softer and it wasn't easy rotating strike either. Like I said we were 15-20 runs short, but I will take that win any day," Rohit said.

With five wins in as many games, India are sitting pretty at No. 2 in the points table, and a win against England will help them recapture the top spot. The 'Men in Blue' faced their toughest challenge so far in the tournament in their most recent game against New Zealand. It was in that match that India lost more than four wickets for the first time in the 10-team tournament. Ultimately, India chased down the 274-run target with four wickets and two overs to spare.
Captain Rohit Sharma and talismanic batter Virat Kohli have been in exceptional form in the marquee event and this has been one of the major reasons behind the excellent performance of the two-time champions. While Virat has scored 354 runs in five games at a staggering average of 118, Rohit has amassed 311 runs in as many games at an average of 62.20. The latter has been getting India off to flying starts and his strike rate in the tournament thus far is an impressive 133.48.
The bowlers have also made vital contributions, with Jasprit Bumrah leading the way with 11 wickets in five games at 16.27. Hardik Pandya is yet to recover but in his absence, Mohammed Shami has shown how lethal he can be. The right-arm pacer picked up a five-for in the game against the Blackcaps and will be high on confidence.
While there are positive aplenty in the Indian camp, the same cannot be said about England. The defending champions have lost four out of their five matches and will have to turn things around quickly to keep their semi-final hopes alive. However, even if they manage to win all their remaining World Cup matches, England will have to hope for other results to go their way.
England's strength lies in their batting but no one has shown consistency of late. Reece Topley was looking menacing as he picked up eight wickets but he has been ruled out with an injury. With backs against the wall, Jos Buttler and Co. will look to fight back and give their supporters something to cheer. If they manage to beat a top side like India, it could do wonders for their confidence.
