Sri Lanka beat defending champions England in ICC Cricket World Cup 2023

Al Jazeera  

Holders England slumped to an eight-wicket loss against Sri Lanka, their fourth of the tournament. Sri Lanka pushed dismal England to the brink of World Cup elimination when they handed the defending champions an eight-wicket thrashing at the Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru, India. Chasing just 157 to win in the match on Thursday, Sri Lanka reached 160-2 with a massive 146 balls to spare thanks to in-form Pathum Nissanka and Sadeera Samarawickrama. Sri Lanka earlier restricted England to a below-par 156 all out in 33.2 overs in the must-win encounter between the tournament’s stragglers, with only Ben Stokes offering some resistance in an otherwise dismal batting display. Sri Lanka had put the brakes on England’s scoring following the powerplay as veteran Angelo Mathews dismissed opener Dawid Malan and then helped run out Joe Root before Kumara struck twice to leave the holders in tatters at 85-5.
