    "editor1": "<p><strong>June 22 (CRICKETNMORE)<\/strong> Pacer Lasith Malinga was the star of the show as Sri Lanka fashioned a stunning 20-run win over hosts and tournament favourites England at the 2019 ICC World Cup. In his 10 overs, Malinga took four wickets for 43 runs.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>England were chasing 233 and it was all rounder Ben Stokes who kept them going as Sri Lanka chipped away at their lower order. They were 188\/9, needing 46 to win off 31 balls when Stokes was dropped at deep midwicket. &quot;We know how good a player he is, we&#39;ve seen it in T20 cricket and in the IPL,&quot; said Malinga in the post-match presentation.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;But we kept sticking to our plans, ensured that he played away dots and put pressure on him. It paid off,&quot; he said. Stokes was unbeaten on 82 off 89 as Sri Lanka dismissed England&#39;s last man Mark Wood.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;Our plan was to stick to line and length on this pitch with the slower ones and bouncers. We have the confidence to influence matches and have faith in ourselves,&quot; said Malinga.<\/p>\r\n",
