ENGLAND'S CRICKET NIGHTMARE: DEFENDING CHAMPION STRUGGLES IN 2023 WORLD CUP

England's struggles have been pronounced, with their latest setback being a humiliating eight-wicket defeat at the hands of Sri Lanka. This loss encapsulates their difficulties in this World Cup, where they were bowled out for a mere 156 runs, a stark contrast to their previous glory. The magnitude of their woes is reflected in their inability to secure a World Cup victory against Sri Lanka since 1999.

The defending champions find themselves in a dire situation, having endured three consecutive losses, including a devastating 229run defeat against South Africa and a historic upset against Afghanistan. This perilous journey to defend their title has placed their campaign on shaky ground.
