England have won the toss and will bat first!
Whoever loses today will be out of the world cup; if a team loses today and with the remaining 4 matches, even if they win all, they cannot reach 12 points min to qualify.
Ravi Shastri says The pitch today is expected to be slow and dry but still good for batting. More grass is in the center of the pitch than near the batting crease so that bowlers can exploit the rough patches. There could also be some turns it won’t be easy for the batters.
England are the defending champions, but they have had a disappointing start to the tournament, losing three of their four matches so far. They will be eager to get back on track against Sri Lanka, who have also lost two of their four matches.
