Pitch Report: England vs Sri Lanka

The SCG pitch has much to offer both batters and bowlers. The pacers receive great carry and bounce, which is not an uncommon occurrence in Australia. On the other hand, spinners make use of the larger boundaries to quickly take some wickets. The batters should take some time to focus and post that they can attempt to put up a high total. Around 160–170 runs are anticipated to be the par score.

Team News:

England:

Jos Buttler-led England is currently at the second place in group 1 points table with five points in four games. A win from here will confirm their attendance in the knockout stage. However, they will be hoping that anyone between the Kiwis and the Aussies lost their final Super 12 game to finish at the top two, although, Australia needs a win by a huge margin.

The Super 12 stage was so much ups and downs for the English side as they lost against Ireland in a crucial encounter while another game got washed out due to rain. The batting department of the English side looks solid with so much depth in it. However, they need to get control over their bowling performance which is the main concern for the side so far. The good news for the side is their skipper Jos Buttler comes back to his original form in their last game, where he smashed a half-century. It will be a tough challenge for the British side as the Lankans also need a win here at the SCG.

Sri Lanka:

Meanwhile, for the Lankans it's a do-or-die game. A loss from here will confirm their flight to Colombo. However, if they manages to win then their is a keen chance for them to make it to the next stage as two of the top three teams have to lose their last game. Sri Lanka is currently at the fourth position on the group 1 points table with four points in as many games.

Skipper Shanaka hasn't able to carry out his Asia Cup form which affected the side with multiple defeats. Batting failure is the main concern for the side while the bowling department of the two time champions is decent so far in the event. Spinners Theekshana and Hasaranga picking up wickets in every game while the pacers have done a decent job so far. Can they challenge the English side and grab two crucial points here at the Sydney Cricket Ground (SCG).
