Points Table

England Form Guide:

England are currently placed at the third position on Group 1 points table with 2 wins to their name in Super 12's so far.

The top run scorer for England is Jos Buttler with 91 runs to his name.

The top wicket taker for England is Sam Curran with 9 scalps under his belt.

England won their previous match against New Zealand by 20 runs.

England batted first and they posted a total of 179 for 6 in 20 overs. Jos Buttler and Alex Hales at the top of the order were phenomenal and they struck 73 and 52 runs respectively. The rest of the batters couldn't really capitalise on the start they got and England had to settle for a total of 179 in 20 overs of play.

During the chase, New Zealand lost 2 wickets early on in the innings. Kane Williamson and Glenn Phillips did the recovery for their team with a stand of 91 runs for the 3rd wicket partnership. Once Kane Williamson got out, New Zealand innings got nowhere and they lost too many wickets in the death overs. The dismissal of Glenn Phillips was the last nail in the coffin as New Zealand were restricted to 159 for 6 in 20 overs, losing the match by 20 runs.

Sri Lanka Form Guide:

Sri Lanka are currently placed at the fourth position of Group 1 points table with 2 wins to their credit.

The top run maker for Sri Lanka in the tournament is Kusal Mendis with 205 runs to his name.

Afghanistan batted first and they posted a total of 144 for 8 in 20 overs. Rahmanullah Gurbaz and Usman Ghani at the top of the order made 28 and 27 runs respectively to give a fitting start to Afghanistan. The middle order made very little contributions and therefore Afghanistan were restricted to a low total of 144 in 20 overs of play.

During the chase, Sri Lanka lost Pathum Nissanka early on in the innings. Kusal Mendis made an important contribution of 25 in 27 balls. Dhananjaya de Silva went on to play a match winning innings of 66 not out in 42 balls to take Sri Lanka home in the 19th over with 6 wickets in hand.
