England vs Sri Lanka, 29th Match, Group 1

Series : ICC Men's T20 World Cup

ENG
163/4 (20)
SL
137/10 (19)

England won by 26 runs.

Dasun Shanaka (Sri Lankan captain): The bowlers were outstanding in the first 10 overs throughout the tournament. The concern was the last overs. This is the first World Cup for many guys. Hopefully, they will do well and learn with experience. In the second half, we knew dew will play a major role. Losing wickets in regular intervals hurt us. Credit to Morgan and Buttler, they took the game away for us. Six months back, we weren't the same team. We have come a long way and I'm happy with the way we've come together. Hopefully, in the future, it is better for us. 

 

Man of the Match: Jos Buttler

England is unbeaten in the Super 12 stage in this T20 World Cup. They have 4 out of 4 matches and have almost sealed the Semi-Final spot.
