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.
