Sri Lanka look to spoil England's qualification party

England won their last seven T20 series matches against Sri Lanka, but they will be also warried about the threat of Theekshana and Hasaranga on a worn pitch of the Sydney.

Afghanistan going down against to Australia, Sri Lanka have no stopgap of making thesemi-finals. New Zealand are formerly on seven points following their palm against Ireland. Australia have now matched that census. 

 

 What Sri Lanka can do, still, is ruin England's chances of progressing to the knockouts. This is must- palm for England, thanks incompletely to catastrophes, but also to their having lost to Ireland before in the event.

The good news for them is that bad downfall is not read for Sydney on Saturday( another bomb would rule them out). The better news is that their net run rate is well clear of Australia's, so all they need to do is win, by any fringe. The indeed better news is that Sri Lanka have not beaten England since 2014. The Sri Lanka players have no any memory of defeating England in a T20 world cup series. England have won their last seven hassles, spread over four countries. 

 

 That England have power right through their fur order is well- known, but in this event, they've also showcased some excellent bowling variety. Despite having played only three matches because of the rain, Sam Curran has nine structures, with an economy rate of6.28. Mark Wood, the fastest bowler of this World Cup so far, has six structures. Ben Stokes has four with an economy rate of5.04. 

 Although the bad losses to Australia and New Zealand put major dents in Sri Lanka's World Cup campaign, a win against England to finish will have them heading home upbeat. This is still a immature team, and though they perhaps didn't fairly live up to their dark- horse billing, they will have saved commodity out of a rough event, in which they lost their swish hearts truly beforehand, and have been pinballed around Australia more than utmost other armies. 

 A loss leaves a different flavour; they'd have defeated only armies they were anticipated to beat( Netherlands, UAE, Ireland, Afghanistan). And that's each after they lost to Namibia.

Form guide

England :

Won Lost Won Won Won (last five completed T20, most recent first)

Sri Lanka: 

Won Lost Lost Won Won 

In the three matches he is played at this event, Adil Rashid has been wicketless. He hasn't sailed poorly exactly- getting through his four overs nicely, and indeed going at only a run a ball against Ireland. He is just not made a advance, when maybe you'd have anticipated him to be much further of a trouble through the middle overs. He is played today against one of his favourite opponents now, still it . In seven matches against Sri Lanka, Rashid has nine lattices, and an frugality rate of5.91. Sri Lanka's batters have come more at playing legspin lately, but on a worn Sydney pitch, Rashid may still back himself. 

 

 Lahiru Kumara 

has five lattices from five matches in this event, and has sounded an advanced bowler from the bone who played last time's T20 World Cup. 

But England's batters, proved that who enjoy the ball coming on, may proved a serious test, particularly in the death and last overs. It seems likely that outside the powerplay, England team will have plans to put pressure on Kumara bollwer of Sri Lanka team . 

 

Pitch and conditions 

 

 There's only an outside chance of rain. The face will be worn- two matches having been played on it formerly. This should suit the baits, of whom Sri Lanka have a superior contingent. England teams hearts know how to take the pace off the ball too,and however he win the game .

Stats and trivia 

Of the bowlers who did not play the first round, only Anrich Nortje has farther structures( 10) than Curran's nine. Nortje's average and frugality rates are worse, still. 

 But also no bone 

 has farther structures than Wanindu Hasaranga, who is got 13 from the seven games he is played. He was the last World Cup's top gate- taker too. 

further advancements in Sri Lanka's final match will put some distance between him and the rest of the field. 

 When Sri Lanka last beat England, at the Oval in 2014, TM Dilshan was still opening the innings, and James Tredwell was England's lead incitement
