World Cup 2023 Points Table: India to win the trophy? Here's how the teams have fared so far

The Cricket World Cup final is on November 19. Every participating team has trained their eyes on the ultimate prize and showcasing their cricketing prowess to pip others to clinch the desired position on the Points Table. 

However, not all have managed to deliver stellar performances consistently and that is why the points table is still open, further allowing most of the teams to make it to the semi-finals. The top four teams on the points table after the 45 group stage matches will proceed to the semifinals, which will be held on November 15 and 16. The final will be held on November 19 in Ahmedabad.

India, which won the match against England by 100 runs on October 29, currently stands at the dominating position in the chart. With attaining victory in all six matches played so far, the Rohit Sharma-led Indian team has accrued a score of 12 points. Their Net Run Rate (NRR), standing at an impressive +1.405, further solidifies their outstanding performance in this tournament. 

India have defeated a total of 6 teams in the 2023 Cricket World Cup, making them the current leaders in the points table. They have defeated Pakistan, Australia, Afghanistan, Bangladesh, New Zealand, and England.

India's batting has been in excellent form in the tournament, with Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, and Shreyas Iyer all scoring centuries. The bowling has also been impressive, with Ravichandran Ashwin and Kuldeep Yadav picking up wickets consistently.
