England are on course for one of the worst ever records for an established cricketing nation after their defeat to India.
England’s fifth defeat of their World Cup title defence continued their abject slide towards elimination.
Bangladesh, also on two points, face Pakistan, Sri Lanka and Australia while the Dutch, Afghanistan, Pakistan and Sri Lanka are all on four points. Indeed, England are the first team to be bowled out in under 35 overs three times in a single men’s World Cup.Not since Sri Lanka in 1999 have the defending World Cup champions been eliminated in the group stage
Sri Lanka, surprise champions in 1996, finished fifth in Group A in 1999. Their record ranked 10th of 12 teams overall, ahead of only Kenya and Scotland and behind Bangladesh on net run rate, so is the nearest comparison to England’s efforts so far – though even then, Sri Lanka won two games and lost only three.
