Lucknow’s outfield is under fire following an England star’s 2023 Cricket World Cup fielding injury. Following the injury sustained by England batsman Liam Livingstone during Sunday’s Cricket World Cup 2023 match against India, the outfield at Lucknow’s Ekana Stadium came under heavy criticism. After a mistake by Rohit Sharma, Livingstone covered a lot of ground, but the pressure from the outfield caused him to get injured as he attempted to leap forward to finish the catch.
Following multiple complaints, the Dharamsala outfield has already come under scrutiny, and the Lucknow incident alarmed the supporters. After concerns during the Indian Premier League (IPL), Lucknow’s outfield was reconstructed, however the issues appear to be ongoing for the time being.
With the help of Mohammed Shami’s outstanding bowling performance, India defeated England by 100 runs on Sunday to maintain their perfect record in the World Cup and virtually eliminate the reigning champions from contention for the semi-finals.

India scored 229-9, a total that appeared low but was sufficient to defeat a faltering England team on a slow surface because to a strong innings average of 87 from skipper Rohit Sharma.
Man-of-the-match Rohit remarked, “It was a great performance and we would take that win any day.” As fireworks lit up the sky, Shami recorded figures of 4-22 and fellow quick Jasprit Bumrah claimed three wickets to finish the match.
With six victories in a row and a flawless record, the home team has virtually assured itself a place in the semifinals. With 87 runs scored, captain Rohit Sharma was instrumental in helping India compile a 229-9 total. The tally may have sounded low, but it was enough to defeat a struggling England team facing the difficulties of a slow pitch.
