Analysis
England is last one the table with just one win and three losses. The strong English batting hasn’t had any worthy performances so far in the tournament with no batters finding form. Similarly, the bowling has continued its disappointing efforts while struggling to adpat with the Indian conditions.
Whereas Sri Lanka has had a forgettable tournament with just one win. The Lankans have had some great moment but the lack of consistency has cost them results. The batting has had a few great performances. But the bowling has severely lacked control and failed to pick up wickets, while these issues majorly focus on the major injury concerns around the squad.
