England meet Sri Lanka in match number 25 of the 2023 World Cup at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru on Thursday, October 26.

England struggled against South Africa in their previous game in Mumbai, getting hammered by 229 runs. Heinrich Klaasen scored a brilliant hundred, while Reeza Hendricks, Rassie van der Dussen and Marco Jansen contributed half-centuries as England were clobbered for 399. In the chase, they folded up for 170 in 22 overs, so the defending champions need to lift themselves.

Meanwhile, after three consecutive losses, Sri Lanka got their first points on the board by registering a five-wicket triumph over Netherlands in Lucknow. It was not a convincing effort, though, as they allowed the Dutch to recover from 91-6 to post 262. However, Sri Lanka would be relieved to have got a win finally.
