The England cricket team is on a winning path as the Eoin Morgan-led side have won three back-to-back games in the Super-12 round of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2021, with England’s lack of Sri Lanka all set to lock horns. Huh. His fourth T20 World Cup match is on Monday. England vs Sri Lanka is to be played at Sharjah Cricket Stadium from 7.30 PM.
Currently, England have topped the Group 1 points table with 6 points. On the other hand, Sri Lankan cricket team has lost three matches and is in fourth place with 2 points. If a confident England manages to continue their unbeaten run by beating Sri Lanka, they will be on course for a place in the semi-finals. Sri Lanka, on the other hand, would like to win this match to keep alive their hopes of reaching the next round.
The pitch of Sharjah Stadium, which is famous for high scoring matches, has not seen much fanfare in recent times. No team has crossed the 150 mark in the last three matches at this ground. The average first innings score at this ground in T20 Internationals is 151 while the second innings score is 126.
