A huge win for Srilanka by 8 wickets and 24.2 overs to spare. They have beaten England in 5 consecutive editions of World Cup. Absolutely no fight from the English batters and bowlers throughout the match. They were all out for only 156, Nissanka and Samarawickrama did the chase smoothly Too easy for Sri Lanka. A 137-run partnership between Pathum Nissanka and Sadeera Samarawickrama have won the match for Sri Lanka against England. Pathum Nissanka is scored 77(83) and Sadeera Samarawickrama is scored 65(54) win the match by 8 wickets.
England's performance in today's match was completely unexpected. Although this match was very important for England to increase the rank in the points table, but England's batsmen gave a worst performance today. I thought that since England is a stronger team than Sri Lanka, they will win this match, but it turned out to be the opposite. Although I would agree with many that England's main batsmen are more vulnerable due to injuries. It would be wrong to say only that England's batting performance has been bad

Can anyone ask England what the hell they are doing in this tournament? I can't imagine the last champion doing the worst performance this time. This is a very shameful point for them to lose the match from Sri Lanka, there is no comparison of England with Sri Lanka but they only made 156 runs in 33 overs and Sri Lanka finished the match in just 26 overs. England needs to reconstruct itself and get out of the useless players. They will be the first ones who will get out of the tournament. Their openers, and middle order all are useless they need quick players, far from the start of this tourney I was very excited about who would come as the opponent next in the final to the England team but unfortunately they failed and I feel very bad for them
Exactly they are performing really bad in the ICC world cup. Means really they only able to make 156 runs. In the last World cup their performance was good. By the way Congratulations to Srilanka team who firstly bowled well and restrict the England under 160 runs and then in 23 overs they chased the target and climbed up in the point table.

South Africa will take on Pakistan in the match as they are a strong team, which scores many times 400 runs. And the Pakistan cricket Team is weak in front of them, as they are not in form even though they lost their last match to Afghanistan to are not that hard Team but I think bad luck for them. Also, in many matches, we have seen South Africa beaten by an unfortunate. Like we have seen some upsets against the South African team. So, there will be more drama regarding the match between these two.
They have already played the maximum 82 ODI cricket Matches South Africa is ahead with having some 50 times in these 82 matches while Pakistan is far behind winning only 31 matches. Can we see another win for South Africa or we can see 32 matches for Pakistan? Share your thoughts!

Tomorrow, we have just one match, which is Pakistan vs South Africa. This is the last chance for Pakistan to qualify in the top four, otherwise, the only miracle that can do something good, and you know the Pakistan team is always dependent on the miracles, if you need any example so you can see the previous World Cup that how Pakistan team qualify for the final, they lost against Zimbabwe and India with the very bad run rate and then miracle held, the Netherlands won against South Africa and then Pakistan went to final.
If you need another example so you can also see the Champions trophy 2017. In that year, Pakistan's ODI ranking was almost around 8 and it also doesn’t conform that Pakistan could play the World Cup without playing qualifying rounds and then suddenly announced that Pakistan won the champions trophy, in the first match of Pakistan played against India and Pakistan lost their first match with a very bad score but still Pakistan came in Semi-Final, which is against England and Pakistan won it than Pakistan again meet to India in the final and Pakistan won it but one night before match Amir was injured but Amir come in the ground with the injury and took very good wickets of India. These were some highlights from the history of Pakistan cricket having miracles.
South Africa will take on Pakistan in the match as they are a strong team, which scores many times 400 runs. And the Pakistan cricket Team is weak in front of them, as they are not in form even though they lost their last match to Afghanistan to are not that hard Team but I think bad luck for them.

I am really shocked by the score of today's game a strong team like England lost by a huge margin against Sri Lanka. We know them as one of the most popular and powerful team in England cricket world. But in today's match I thought maybe England will win against Sri Lanka but totally opposite England lost there. England scored 156 runs in 33.2 overs today and lost all wickets, while Sri Lanka scored 160 runs in 24.4 overs to win by a huge margin of 8 wickets. England showed the biggest weakness in today's match for which Sri Lanka beat them by taking advantage of that weakness. England messed up with both the ball and the bat due to which they easily lost against Sri Lanka and Sri Lanka won the match brilliantly with good batting and bowling.
England have never won against Sri Lanka since 2007 till date. The world champion England we think is very strong but their performance in this world cup is so bad that they were dropped from the second round of the world cup. In today's game, I thought that England would be in the second round of the World Cup, but it was the opposite. After winning the toss, England went to bat and from the beginning they were in a batting disaster, losing quick wickets and England managed to score 156 runs. In today's match, England could not play up to the stipulated 50 over again, they lost all wickets in 33 overs. However, Sri Lanka did not miss such an opportunity as they beat England very easily and pulled off an unimaginable win. My greetings and congratulations to Sri Lanka.

Losing to New Zealand in the very first match itself a big blow for the England team. New Zealand won the toss and decided to bowl, where England managed to score 282 runs and it looked like they're very confident in winning the match. New Zealand Chased the target and won the match in a much comfortable way in 37 overs. From their they made a strong comeback against Bangladesh and this didn't last longer as England failed to Afghanistan, South Africa and now in a very bad manner against Sri Lanka. In the remaining four matches England need to win with good runrate to keep its hope of World Cup which is really hard.Most of the players are having mind-set of the twenty/20 game which is also not helping them today I watch all match and after this my view is they deserved this defeat and also last spot into this event after sending team like this for the ODI world cup few players were in hurry to given out, or they play the worst shots for having out of the batting quickly.
The cup is changing hands for sure. England played well under Eoin Morgan last time around, but Buttler is just a bad captain plain and simple. Also, players like Livingstone, Malan, Ali etc have been playing like crap consistently for sometime now.
Their main players are either injured or out of form. Jofra Archer hasn't yet recovered from injury.
Jofra Archer isn't some magician who can change the results on his own. Also, all main players are playing in their squad, but they are all out of form. hero member

I am still in shocked and can't able to believe that the defending champions can perform so badly like this and will almost knockout before semifinal, it's so rude and pointing out huge question on different quality player performance. Anyway they lose four of thier matches and if they still win rest of thier match then still they have no chance to qualify unless any miracle happened and all top 4 lose thier matches against below standing teams. I think credit of this victory goes to sirilankan bowling because I taught England will fight hard today for thier qualification but sirilankan bowler not even provide a single opportunity to thier opponent to settle down and thats why they scored low and lose important match
I am actually not that much shocked, I had doubts about this match even yesterday that England can win against Sri Lanka. But it is true that it was not expected that England would lose so miserably against Sri Lanka. I also agree with you that the credit for winning this match goes entirely to the Sri Lankan bowlers. England team batsmen were unable to fight today in front of medium-fast bowlers or whatever you say fast bowler ball all styles of bowling from Sri Lanka.England's performance in this year's ICC World Cup has been poor from the start as they have lost four of their last five matches although they managed to win only one match as their second match was against a weak team like Bangladesh. I don't think England can do anything better in future matches because if we talk about Netherlands team they also managed to beat strong team like South Africa.
I did not expect England to bat so badly in today's match. England's batting could not do well, unfortunately none of the batting half-centuries. England were all out for 156 in 33.2 overs. England scored 156 which was not enough of a target for the ODI format. Sri Lanka went into bat with a target of 157 runs and won by 8 wickets by a huge margin in 25.4 overs. Sri Lanka were under pressure early on with 2 wickets down, Sadeera Samarawickrama and Pathum Nissanka both performed brilliantly to secure the win. Sri Lanka has won 2 out of 5 matches and has become number 5 in the table. Congratulations to the Sri Lankan team for the win.
Their main players are either injured or out of form. Jofra Archer hasn't yet recovered from injury. Ben Stokes, Sam Curran and Mark Wood are out of form. And they don't have quality players to replace these ones. Anyway, world cup is almost over for England. Now it is time for introspection. The next major ICC tournament is going to be the T20 World Cup of 2024, and they need to prepare well for it. Today I was watching their batting and laughing what the hell they are doing because no one play reasonable shots mostly done poor judgement and give wickets as gift to Sri Lankan bowlers, and they are not having bowlers, but today lost credit is going to batting failure all were awful and surely need to leave this format as soon as possible.

Finally, a comfortable win for Sri Lanka. They beat England by 8 wickets. The 137-run partnership between Nissanka and Samarawickrama was the deciding factor in this victory. Today, we have seen an old Sri Lankan batting touch in these youngsters. Poor bowling performance from the English bowlers. It appeared that Sri Lanka was batting at a totally different pitch.
England is now unofficially out of this World Cup. Sri Lanka still got a chance to qualify for the semi-final with certain conditions.

Sri Lanka done impressive job while they were on bowling because I was not expecting spirit like this from them specially Angelo Mathews done amazing stuff after having spot in this event and squad with this defeat now England is having no chance for the top seven ranks and Sri Lanka suddenly having good time even now they are also having no serious chance for the top four, but their performance brings some good excitement for cricketing fans.
So today England team will play against Sri Lanka team. Boath teams have the equal stats. Sri Lanka won only one match and England also won one match. If we talk about the net run rate so both teams are almost equal in Net Run Rate too. Sri lanka has -1.048 and England has -1.248 according to this England is looking weak as compare to Srilanka. Today match will be an interesting match.
Yeah, you were right from start of the match England team are really in trouble like we can say they lost their right track, none of their player is going with good form which create difficulties for them at every stage and due to such reason they lost most of their match including today match too which I think they can win but unfortunately not. This world cup will be remembered as a bad, horrible dream for England because in recent few years I have never seen such poor performance from them.Innings start from England were fantastic they have handsome partnership but after single dismissal they can't manage situation later stokes hold inning for a while but unable to add something extraordinary and hence lose this match

Honestly, we never expected this type of performance by the England team. Yes, any team can lose on any day but the way England lost to
Sri Lanka today, it was least expected.
England were all out in the 34th over and made only 156 runs. A team with having batting lineup like Jonny Bairstow, Dawid Malan, Joe Root , Ben Stokes and others, can you imagine they will be making only 156 runs and that too against one of the weakest team Sri Lanka ?
Another thing which no one is talking about now , is the people who bet on the England team. (England was the favorite before the start of the match). There will be 90% people betting on England today and they all have lost the bet and money.
This is a game of cricket sometimes we have to see unexpected like today this is not a new thing as I had already seen their statistics and the matches they have played against each other are not that unexpected, because 38 matches were won by England although winning the today's match Sri Lanka also won 37 matches, so there is a 1 match difference of winning between England and Sri Lanka which is not that much.
So, we can expect good cricket from both but talking to the England Team performance as usual today was not as good as they played in their previous matches. I was thinking before that match that England today would go for 400+ but they didn't reach even 200 which is quite disappointing for the fans of England.
England's performance in every match has surprised me. If this is the case with the last world champions, what team will we be watching?

In terms of bowling too, England's bowlers are also expansive today in terms of giving runs. 
England won the toss and chose to bat first on a batting paradise in Bengaluru; finally, they chose to bat first 
. Three changes for the England side. England's batting lineup looked solid and threatening with the arrival of Livingstone and Moeen, and they will try to attack Sri Lankan bowlers from bowl one. If Sri Lanka bowls in the right areas, they might get early wickets. Angelo Mathews and Lahiru Kumara are back in the Sri Lankan team. Angelo will give them a big boost in the match because of his experience.
It is important to note that whoever loses the match today will be out of this competition.
England's two opening batsmen have not been out so far and they are batting in fluent form which means a big target awaits Sri Lanka today. After playing six overs, England managed to score 45 runs. If this wicket pair can be played from 15 to 20 overs then England's first innings total will go beyond 330 to 340 plus. We have seen before how well England perform in pressure matches. Today's match is very stressful for England because if they lose today there is a possibility of being eliminated from the tournament so they will try to beat Sri Lanka today anyway. England fielded with three changes today and Sri Lanka fielded with 2 changes today.. Three changes for the England side. England's batting lineup looked solid and threatening with the arrival of Livingstone and Moeen, and they will try to attack Sri Lankan bowlers from bowl one.
