England posted a total of 147 runs against Sri Lanka in their ICC Men’s T20 World Cup encounter, setting up a competitive chase.
After batting first, England found it difficult to fully accelerate against disciplined Sri Lankan bowling, losing wickets at key moments. Despite some steady contributions in the middle overs, they were restricted to 147 at the end of their innings.
Sri Lanka now require 148 runs for victory, and with the pitch offering assistance to bowlers, the chase promises to be a closely fought contest.
