A huge win for Srilanka by 8 wickets and 24.2 overs to spare. They have beaten England in 5 consecutive editions of World Cup. Absolutely no fight from the English batters and bowlers throughout the match. They were all out for only 156, Nissanka and Samarawickrama did the chase smoothly Too easy for Sri Lanka. A 137-run partnership between Pathum Nissanka and Sadeera Samarawickrama have won the match for Sri Lanka against England. Pathum Nissanka is scored 77(83) and Sadeera Samarawickrama is scored 65(54) win the match by 8 wickets.
England's performance in today's match was completely unexpected. Although this match was very important for England to increase the rank in the points table, but England's batsmen gave a worst performance today. I thought that since England is a stronger team than Sri Lanka, they will win this match, but it turned out to be the opposite. Although I would agree with many that England's main batsmen are more vulnerable due to injuries. It would be wrong to say only that England's batting performance has been bad, both in terms of batting and bowling performance. In terms of bowling too, England's bowlers are also expansive today in terms of giving runs.
