England take on Sri Lanka in clash of lions

Having survived a scare at Afghanistan's hands, England go into this game with a feel of the Kotla's capricious ways under the belt.

New Delhi: Two teams with very differing fortunes in the tournament face off with plenty to play for at the Kotla on Saturday. Defending champions Sri Lanka are all but out of the running while England will want to secure their hopes of a semi-final berth with a third win in the Super 10 stage of the ICC World Twenty20 here.

Having survived a scare at Afghanistan’s hands, England go into this game with a feel of the Kotla’s capricious ways under the belt. They did not have a good game, needing Moeen Ali and the tail to save embarrassment before easing to a 15-run win, and a stronger hand upfront will be top of the mind for Eoin Morgan.

Sri Lanka have been in the doldrums almost from the word go and need help from other results in the unlikely event of a win here on the morrow.
