Sri Lanka Must Do It the “Hard Way” After England Defeat, Says Batting Coach

By AFP News February 23, 2026 • 08:43 AM View: 290

Sri Lanka will have to do it "the hard way" if they are to make the semi-finals of the T20 World Cup after a chastening defeat to England on Sunday, admitted their batting coach.

The co-hosts were routed for 95 chasing 147 in Kandy, meaning they need to win their two remaining Super Eight games to have a chance of qualifying.
