T20 WC: Chameera, Mishara In As SL Ask Unchanged England To Bat
T20 World Cup Super Eights: Sri Lanka won the toss and elected to field against England in the second match of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup Super Eights here at the Pallekele International Cricket Stadium on Sunday.
The two sides recently met at the same venue in a rain-hit bilateral series that England swept 3-0, with the DLS method coming into play more than once, a factor that could again prove relevant.
Since then, however, momentum has swung towards the co-hosts. Sri Lanka have looked assured throughout the tournament, barring a minor stumble against Zimbabwe, and were particularly dominant in their dismantling of Australia in Pallekele. They have absorbed the setbacks of losing Wanindu Hasaranga and Matheesha Pathirana, with Pathum Nissanka leading a batting unit marked by clarity and composure.
