Earlier in the day, after winning the toss, England skipper Jos Buttler chose to bat first, but the team’s wickets continued to tumble. Aside from Ben Stokes (43) and Jonny Bairstow (30), no other English hitter could stay on the crease for long. And all of the wickets fell in 33.2 overs. Englnd only managed 156 runs. Lahiru Kumara grabbed three wickets for Sri Lanka, Kasun Rajitha and Angelo Mathews each took two, while Maheesh Theekshana took one. Lahiru Kumara is chosen Player of the Match for his 3-for-35 performance.
England’s World Cup campaign has been chaotic and dismal, with only one victory in their first four games. The position is now such that they must win all five remaining games while hoping for a favorable net run rate. Their aggressive batting strategy hasn’t produced results, and their bowlers have struggled to keep opponents at bay. Sri Lanka is in a similar situation, with Kusal Mendis’ recent slump damaging the 1996 champions’ campaign.
England, headed by Buttler, has won six of their last ten meetings against Sri Lanka, which has only won two. Sri Lanka has signed veteran Angelo Mathews to replace Matheesha Pathirana, despite the fact that Mathews has only played three matches in the last two and a half years.The forthcoming encounter between Sri Lanka and England at M Chinnaswamy Stadium is likely to be high-scoring, continuing a recent pattern of sides amassing significant runs. Previously, in Bengaluru, Australia (five-time champions) and Pakistan (1992 champions) combined for 672 runs in 95.3 overs.

Eng vs SL live: Lahiru Kumara crowned Player of the Match
Lahiru Kumara is chosen Player of the Match for his 3-for-35 performance against England. According to Hotstar, he stated, “I’m very happy with my performance; I’ve worked really hard for it.” I didn’t do anything differently than in the Australia game because it was an off-day; I just worked hard, and it paid off today. Angelo, on the other hand, has a lot of expertise and was quite helpful to me at mid-off. It was wonderful to see him again. The aim was to bat with discipline in the middle overs; we kept to it and were rewarded with wickets.”
