After Dominating the game for the better part of the game, the win was snatched away by the seeker of the Bulgarian team. The English Team had the upper handthroughout the match. Their win was almost guaranteed with the lead they have on Bulgarians by 310-170, when Viktor Krum showing why he is called a prodigy on broom, snatched the snitch from beneath the nose of English Seeker, but not before chaser Heracles Potter had nailed a brilliant goal from half-field away.

The English team presented spectacular teamwork against the Australians in the 38th match of the 422nd Quidditch World Cup. The English beater Indira Choudhary was declared the Hero of the match. She made sure that none of the passes among the chasers could be intercepted by the Australian Beaters and she herself was very aggressive in her gameplay, successfully hitting the Australian chasers 12 times. Chaser Potter also seemed in form and scored 280 points for his team, which led to the English team dominating the game as usual. The contribution of the English chasers brought the score 290-100 when the English Chaser Blythe Parkin caught the snitch, ending the match in England's favour. When asked about strategy, chaser Potter said that his only strategy was to make sure England remained at least 150 points in the lead, before the seekers could even properly spot the snitch.

France seemed to have devised a way to keep the prodigious talents of Chaser Potter in check. In the 49th match of the 422nd Quidditch World Cup, played between England and France, the beaters and keepers did a fantastic job of keeping Chaser Potter in check by focusing most of their effort on him. The French chasers joined the fray by surrounding him on the sides to make sure he didn't get passed by his teammates, whereas the remaining chaser scored against England, French beaters making sure to keep Indira Choudhary in line. Even after being backed up in the corner, Chaser Potter kept up the fight, still becoming the highest-scoring chaser of the game by nailing 20 fast goals in French's goal-rings. The French chasers weren't having any of it and they scored goal after goal until they took the lead by 300-260.
