Defending champions England will look to maintain their hopes of reaching the semifinal stage alive once they tackle 1996 winners Sri Lanka in match no. 25 of the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 on the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru on (*25*). England and Sri Lanka are in seventh and eighth place on the factors desk with 1 win every from their 4 matches up to now.
Both groups are prone to make loads of modifications for this conflict. Sri Lanka have introduced in former captain Angelo Mathews into the squad to interchange injured pacer Matheesha Pathirana. But Mathews hasn’t performed plenty of ODI cricket during the last three years.
“Well, mostly, I mean, our top order is quite settled, so wherever the team wants me, wherever the captain, the coach wants me to bat, I will bat. And it looks like I’ll bat in the middle order. But the position doesn’t really matter, as long as I can contribute in whatever way possible towards a winning cause. I’m not really bothered about personal milestones, batting up top of the order and getting hundreds or fifties. I’d rather bat anywhere the team wants me to and try and contribute in a very small way, even for a win,” Angelo Mathews mentioned in the pre-match press convention in Bengaluru on Wednesday.
England, alternatively, have to interchange injured left-arm pacer Reece Topley. While Brydon Carse has been known as up into the squad, Chris Woakes might be the one to interchange the left-armer for the match in opposition to Sri Lanka. Meanwhile, for Sri Lanka, Dunith Wellalage might return to the facet to interchange Dushan Hemantha.
