 India moves into the top four in the World Cup 2023 points standings as England beats Bangladesh. This is how

Following England's crushing 137-run victory against Bangladesh in the seventh One Day International (ODI) of the current ICC Cricket World Cup, Team India climbed to the fourth spot, Bangladesh to the sixth spot, and England to the fifth spot in the standings.

As another match between Pakistan and Sri Lanka is now underway, the standings may change. Pakistan won their first match against the Netherlands, while Sri Lanka lost to South Africa by 102 runs.

On Wednesday, India's next match is against Afghanistan. India has increased its confidence for the remainder of the Cricket World Cup group stage after defeating five-time winner Australia in its first game.

The hosts of the tournament will travel the most throughout the six-week competition when they face Afghanistan on Wednesday in the second of their nine group games.

The second of India's nine match locations will be the 48,000-seat Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi, with Hyderabad serving as the only host city where Rohit Sharma's team won't be competing.

In a gripping, low-scoring match on Sunday in Chennai, India defeated Australia by six wickets with the help of spinners Ravindra Jadeja and Kuldeep Yadav, who combined for five wickets to dismiss Australia for 199. Initially having trouble, India had three wickets for two runs down after just 12 deliveries but Lokesh Rahul and Virat Kohli came together to lead the hosts to victory.

When you overcome powerful opponents, it feels great, and your confidence rises, according to Jadeja. "Because every team is strong, I won't pretend it will be simple in front of the other teams. However, your degree of confidence changes if you succeed in front of the top teams.

As a result, India is a strong favorite against Afghanistan, who are placed ninth.
