England's Performance In World Cup 2023: Social Media Trolls Team With Brutal '2019 Memes'

England's grip on their status as the 50-over World Cup champions faced a significant threat as they encountered their fourth defeat in the tournament yesterday. This defeat came at the hands of Sri Lanka, who managed to dismiss England for a mere 156 runs and then comfortably chased down the target with eight wickets to spare.

With a mere two points acquired from five matches, England clings to a slim theoretical hope of reaching the semifinals. Their next challenge is against India on Sunday, a team that has remained undefeated in the tournament thus far, winning all their matches.

Despite featuring star players like Ben Stokes, Joe Root, Jos Buttler, and Jonny Bairstow, all renowned match-winners in the cricketing world, the England team has consistently been losing matches.

As for England's World Cup defense, which started with a loss exactly three weeks ago, it is in tatters, and nearly all the social media platforms are full of '2019 memes' mocking the English team's disatrous performance in the ongoing tournament.
