ICC World Cup England vs Sri Lanka: It has been a tough tournament for the reigning ODI World Cup champions England as it suffered 3 losses in its first 4 games. The latest game against Sri Lanka was do or die for both teams, and the 1996 champs, Sri Lanka prevailed.
After winning the toss, England chose to bat first. The openers Jonny Bairstow and Dawid Malan played well initially, but the middle order again collapsed quickly under pressure.
Ben Stokes valiantly tried to rescue the team and put up a respectable total, but in the end, Sri Lanka reduced England to a measly total of 156 in 33.2 overs. The Lankans easily chased down the target in 25.4 overs at the loss of just 2 wickets.
Sri Lanka beat England by 8 wickets in match 25 of the 2023 ICC World Cup, thus knocking out the current champs and keeping its own hope of qualifying for the semi-finals alive.
