ENG vs SL: The Three Lions are all set to lock horns against Sri Lanka at Sharjah Cricket Stadium for their upcoming Super 12 encounter of the T20 World Cup.
England are walking into this encounter with a dominant victory over the Aussies. Chris Jordan’s 3/17 & Chris Woakes 2/23 with contributions from others helped England to restrict Australia to a mere 125. In reply, Jos Buttler‘s swashbuckling knock of 71* off 32 balls helped chase down the total in just 11.4 overs and helped win the match by 8 wickets.
Meanwhile, Sri Lanka played South Africa in their previous encounter and the result was a disappointed one. Pathum Nissanka’s 58-ball 72 helped Sri Lanka post 142 on the board. The match went down to the wire as the skipper and David Miller helped South Africa win the match by four wickets.
