England:

Hosts and favourites England are in red hot form and are performing brilliantly as a team. Their four victories till now in WC’19 have come with a margin of 104 runs, 106 runs, 8 wickets, and 150 runs and only lost one match to Pakistan by 14 runs. Their top six batsmen are in super attacking form and can destroy any bowling line-up while their bowlers especially pacers have been able to outplay batsmen with their pace and bounce. They will target the top position in points table defeating Sri Lanka tomorrow.

In the last match, They defeated Afghanistan by 150 runs. Batting first, Jonny Bairstow and Joe Root played brilliant knocks of 90 and 88 respectively before Eoin Morgan went berserk scoring 148 runs in just 71 balls including 17 sixes to take the team to a total of 397. Moeen Ali also played quick cameo of 31* runs in just 9 balls. With the ball, Archer and Rashid took three scalps each while Wood took two wickets to ensure a big victory for the hosts.

Sri Lanka:

Sri Lanka has failed to make a mark yet in WC’19 and is sixth on the points table with one win in five matches. Except for Dimuth Karunaratne and Kusal Perera, No other batsmen have shown any spark yet. Their bowling department has also failed to perform and is in poor form. They will expect a responsible performance from their batsmen in order to give a tough challenge to attacking the England team.

In the previous match, They lost to Australia by 87 runs. Bowling first, Isuru Udana and Dhananjaya De Silva took two scalps each to restrict Australia at 335. In the chase, Dimuth Karunaratne played outstanding knock of 97 runs and was supported by Kusal Perera who scored attacking 52 runs knock but did not get support from the middle order and were ultimately left behind by 87 runs.

A good contest can be expected between both teams.
