Sri Lanka came back strongly through some brilliant bowling performance by the experienced Lasith Malinga (4 for 43) and shocked the favourites England by 20-runs in an exciting ICC World Cup 2019 game played at Headingley, Leeds, on Friday.
England's batsman faltered on a dicey wicket and fell prey to the guiles of the disciplined Sri Lankan bowling attack spearheaded by Lasith Malinga. He was well-supported by Dhananjaya de Silva, Nuwan Pradeep and Isuru Udana. Angelo Mathews came up with a fighting knock and led the way with the bat by scoring a valuable 85 n.o. (115b, 5x4, 1x6).
