ICC World Cup T20 Match 29: England vs Sri Lanka

(Tags Credit : Sutapasima )

Eoin Morgan's England and resurgent Sri Lanka will lock horns with each other

England have been one of the best sides in the tournament so far.

They haven’t lost a single game in the Super-12 stage.

On the other hand, Sri Lanka are coming into this game on the back of two consecutive losses against Australia and South Africa.

Therefore, they are currently sitting at number four in the point table of Group 1.

After thrashing bitter-rivals Australia in their previous fixture, Morgan's England side will hope to extend their dominant run at the ICC World T20 2021.

A win over Sri Lanka can strengthen England's bid to top Group 1 in the Super 12s stage.

Sri Lanka succumbed to pressure in their previous game against South Africa as Tabraiz Shamsi-inspired Proteas side outclassed the former champions by 4 wickets.

Pathum Nissanka top-scored for the Lankan Lions in Sri Lanka's previous fixture.

Wanindu Hasaranga also stunned the Proteas with his bowling masterclass, although his heroics went

in vain.

With the four-wicket defeat to their name, the Dasun Shanaka-led side has taken the fourth spot in Group 1 with just 2 points from 3 matches.

------------

Head-to-Head record:

Played: 12 | ENG won: 08 | SL won: 04 | No result: 0

Pitch report:

The pitch in Sharjah is expected to be on the slower side, making it difficult for the batters to score runs at will.

The pacers need to bowl more cutters and hit the hard lengths to grab wickets on this surface. There will be some help for the spinners as well. The team winning the toss is most likely to field first.

----------------

Playing XI:

England: Jason Roy, Jos Buttler (wk), Dawid Malan, Jonny Bairstow, Eoin Morgan (c), Liam Livingstone, Moeen Ali, Chris Woakes, Chris Jordan, Adil Rashid, Tymal Mills

Sri Lanka: Kusal Perera (wk), Pethum Nissanka, Charith Asalanka, Avishka Fernando/Dhananjaya de Silva, Bhanuka Rajapakse, Wanindu Hasaranga, Dasun Shanaka (c), Chamika Karunaratne, Dushmantha Chameera, Maheesh Theekshana, Lahiru Kumara

Points Table-- Group A

Win it England

What kind of dp is this?

Where is Jadoo?? 🤔

Good luck to both the teams

If eng will win this then they will be in the semi finale.

The surfaces in Sharjah have been the slowest out of the three tournament venues, which has made batting tricky and led to par scores of around 140. Spin has understandably been hard to get on top of although that has largely been because of the low bounce; there hasn't actually been huge amounts of turn on display.

Head-to-Head:

England have won 8 of the 12 T20Is between the two countries, including three of the four times they have met at T20 World Cups.
