Srilanka now has to play bangladesh, afghanistan,india, new zealand.. they might lose against India but can win rest 3.. if they chase well they can have apositive run rate.. if they beat NZ in last match and nz loses against saf and aus who knows

Very unlikely that NZ will lose to SA, Aus, Pakistan as well as SL. Think they should get atleast one win there and reach 10 points.

 

SL loss against India at Wankhede is inevitable so if they win all their remaining matches,they also tie at 10 Points and given NZ's run rate they should be safe. NZ looking very safe right now.

Sri Lanka needed that victory against Pakistan to stay alive in the tournament, impossible to make up for defeats in the first few matches later on in the WC. They were even in a strong position against Australia batting first but once again lost the advantage.

 

One thing is for sure England's WC Campaign ends today if they lose against SL even if they might still have a small mathematical chance..

do you think pakistan will have any motivation themselves in the last match ?

 

Yes, the motivation to save their places in the team. No motivation is bigger than that. 

[rageaddict]

Sri Lanka should look to finish this off in 25 overs Max.

England won the 2019 wc by fluke due to 1. Umpire error allowing the overthrow 2. Boult dropping a sitter 3. Weirdest boundary count rule. They won against india by shortening one sid eof the ground to pummell chahal and kuldeep if i remember correctly

See they got all the luck on their side in 2019 and to some extent in 2022 t20 World Cup by winning the toss.

[cowboysfan]

why do they keep shouting RCB? doesnt make sense.

[rageaddict]

Perera gone..

They will still blame "these conditions" and what not for this. 

I am supporting Eng though in this world cup, after India ofcourse. 

[cowboysfan]

if you dont play with a straight bat on this pitch you are doomed.

India never won a wc knockout toss in last 10 years till they won in icc test championship this year and mucked it up.. the other non wc icc toss they won was in 2017 ct final

[Frustrated]

SL always raise their game while playing against Eng in WC.    Repeat of 2019 WC.  

[cowboysfan]

i dont trust Lankans to win this now.

[rageaddict]

Another wicket down. SL doing their best to let England come back into this match.

Despite the loss of 2 early wickets, SL are favourites to win this one. 

[cricketfan28]

What went wrong for England?, they are surely better than this.

[Trichromatic]

If SL hadn't choked v Pakistan, they could have fancied their chances for semi-final spot.
