The 29th match of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2021 will have England take on Sri Lanka at the Sharjah Cricket Stꦚadi💞um on Monday, November 1.
England have been one of the best sides in the tournament so far. They haven’t lost a single game in the Super-12 stage. On the other hand, Sri Lanka are coming into this game on the back of two consecutive losses against Australia and South Africa. Therefore, they are currently sitting at numb🧸er four in ꦐthe point table of Group 1.
England may have pulverised Sri Lanka a few꧋ months ago but they will certainly not be taking their opponents lightly t❀his time.
Head-to-Head record:
Played: 12 | ENG wo🐎n: 08 | SL won: 04 | No result๊: 0
Pitch report:
The pit🍎ch in Sharjah is expected to be on the slower side, making it difficult for the batters to score runs at wiඣll.
The pacers need to bowl more cutters and hit the hard lengths to grab wickets on this surfacꦍe. There will be some help for the spinners as well. The team winning the toss is most likely to field first.
