SL vs ENG Match Prediction: England’s white-ball team has started to gain some momentum as they beat Sri Lanka 2-1 in the ODI series in Colombo.
Several of England’s players who featured in the ODI series will be part of the T20Is against the Lankans in Pallekele and the following T20 World Cup, which will be co-hosted by India and Sri Lanka.
This is the last bilateral assignment for both teams before the marquee T20 ICC tournament. It is very credible to say that the shortest format is England’s best one right now, while Sri Lanka remain a force to be reckoned with in their home conditions.
