England thrash (146/9) Sri Lanka (95) by 51 runs in T20 World Cup 2026 Super 8 clash

[KingKhanWC]

The benefits of being British and Pakistani, England can bring glory home . Don’t count us out

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

37/5

 

[Bhaijaan]

Might be wrong but I don't think Sri Lanka will win any matches. I think Pakistan and New Zealand will finish with 5 points and England with 2 if we don't get any further washouts

It will be better for the sake of tournament.

Hand on heart, NZ and Pakistan are the two most dangerous teams in this group. Teams that give anyone a scare in the knock outs.

If India goes through, I know I’d much rather face England or Sri Lanka

 

[Rajdeep]

Southafrica v Pakistan at premadasa

This time for Africa then?

 

[Fast bowler6929]

If eng batting clicks against pak / nz , they might qualify for semis.

Lol they won't do anything against Pakistani spinners.

 

[Devadwal]

Imagine if Pak reach finals, it will be played in these kind of pitches in Srilanka.

What a shame

So for cricket's sake, lets hope Pak dont reach the finals

Relex, they are not qualify for semi

 

[Bhaijaan]

Bruh Pakistan batting better than England in these conditions

 

[Kianig89]

Stunned ,, Eng are pumped up

 

[globetrotter]

Srilanka on ventilator

 

[Fast bowler6929]

Lol hahhah will jacks with three wickets.what a joke by srilanka

 

[Kianig89]

Salman Agha v Jofra Archer , it never happened

 

[shah9425]

Might be wrong but I don't think Sri Lanka will win any matches. I think Pakistan and New Zealand will finish with 5 points and England with 2 if we don't get any further washouts

A top spot finish will avoid India semi clash

 

[Deewana Mastana]

6 Bang Shanaka

 

[Katwalindian]

Srilanka will still chase it down

 

[Kianig89]

Eng RR will get a boost

 

[Bhaijaan]

SIX

Tension release shot for Sri Lanka

44/5

England still on top

 

[Asif321]

This time for Africa then?

Don’t mind . They deserve it more than Pakistan

 

[Fast bowler6929]

Giving 3 wickets to will jacks is criminal.
He has 13 wickets in T20is and has played 37 matches.
He is just a glorified part timer.

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

Its around 135 in t20is in top 3.
He has a SR of 150+ in t20s predominantly batting in the top 3. No reason why he can't be given the run at the top.
But Duckett can also be tried.

If he strikes at 136 in the top 3 and has a SR of 150 then how is his career SR a reflection of what he has predominantly done in the top 3? It's obvious that his career SR is inflated by the runs he has scored down the order.

All their other batters strike higher than 136 in the top 3.

 

[Fast bowler6929]

Zafar gohar should perform well in county cricket and he surely can perform better than these english spinners .

 

[CricVet]

Shanaka is the last hope for SL. Take the partnership to 100 without anymore losses to the 15th over, and give a fighting chance.

 

[Bhaijaan]

SIX

Sri Lanka fighting back?

 

[Asif321]

Can kamindu or captain play a match winning knock

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Mendis gone

Dawson gets a wicket

52-6

Game over?

 

[mon858]

Not good for Pakistan. If England win , Pakistan has to beat England and hope they lost to NZ for a good chance to qualify. If they beat Pak, they are through and pakistan will then need NZ to lose a game and have worse NRR than Pakistan (would need to beat SRL.

 

[Fast bowler6929]

Lol another one bites the dust. Haha
Jokers.

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

52/6

 

[Asif321]

Hahahhahahahha

 

[CricVet]

6th gone

If India goes through, I know I’d much rather face England or Sri Lanka

I know Sri Lanka played an awesome game against Australia but they are not a good T20 side. They can have the odd good day but if you look at their results in the past 12 months they are quite poor. On top of that they are missing Hasaranga who is their biggest trump card and match-winner.

 

[shah9425]

Another soft dismissal

 

[Asif321]

Two good shots and boom wicket . Been a pattern

 

[AamchiMumbaikar]

Shanaka is game.

1 wicket

 

[Katwalindian]

This is a truly pathetic looking England side and if Pakistan aren't confident of beating them then they deserve to go home. I mean freaking Will Jacks is opening the bowling

Will Jack's vs saim ayub better bowler?

 

[RidiculousMan]

Imagine if Pak reach finals, it will be played in these kind of pitches in Srilanka.

What a shame

So for cricket's sake, lets hope Pak dont reach the finals

And beat India.

WOW WOW WOW CT17 vibes!

I just have an intuition they might defeat Pakistan.

 

[Kianig89]

Pathetic from SL, they came out with no plan

 

[Fast bowler6929]

Not good for Pakistan. If England win , Pakistan has to beat England and hope they lost to NZ for a good chance to qualify. If they beat Pak, they are through and pakistan will then need NZ to lose a game and have worse NRR than Pakistan (would need to beat SRL.

If Pakistan wants to win the world cup they should beat every team.They can't slip up.

 

[Katwalindian]

Shanaka is game.

1 wicket

Wellalage and hemantha are proper batsmen

 

[Devadwal]

Will Jacks causing a lot of trouble already, imagine what Adil Rashid can do.

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

A top spot finish will avoid India semi clash

NRR could end up playing a big role too. Sri Lanka might take a massive hit the way things are going

 

[shah9425]

If Pakistan wants to win the world cup they should beat every team.They can't slip up.

Yeah you have to beat the best

 

[Rajdeep]

And beat India.

WOW WOW WOW CT17 vibes!

More chance of Ind v Pak meeting in semi finals and repeating Mohali

#WOWWOWWOW

 

[Kianig89]

Eng RR will be boosted

 

[Katwalindian]

Lol they won't do anything against Pakistani spinners.

If hesson guy play spinners in first place

 

[aboveandbeyond]

Excellent from will jacks. Surely, England has this in the bag.

 

[Cryin Out Loud]

And here comes their main spinner.

 

[globetrotter]

ENG, NZ will qualify for semis

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

Will Jack's vs saim ayub better bowler?

Saim Ayub

 

[shah9425]

More chance of Ind v Pak meeting in semi finals and repeating Mohali

#WOWWOWWOW

Mohali stadium is done and dusted

Not even considered for WC nowadays

 

[Inswinging Yorker]

stupidity at best . Chasing 147 at home and you go bang even after losing 2 wickets

1000000000000% correct they are gifting it away

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

I just have an intuition they might defeat Pakistan.

It's not that hard to imagine. If Sri Lanka get bashed by England and New Zealand then you know that great performance is coming where they suddenly start playing like a real, world-class team. You see this quite often with mediocre, mid-tier teams

 

[Rajdeep]

Excellent from will jacks. Surely, England has this in the bag.

Only Shanaka is the dangerman

 

[Bhaijaan]

It's not that hard to imagine. If Sri Lanka get bashed by England and New Zealand then you know that great performance is coming where they suddenly start playing like a real, world-class team. You see this quite often with mediocre, mid-tier teams

I thought exactly that actually. Not that Sri Lanka a great side, but I think they’re going to get bashed by England and New Zealand, and will have that one win in them against Pakistan.

 

[aboveandbeyond]

Only Shanaka is the dangerman

The Pressure is building on him. Sooner or later he will have to put the foot on the Gas and take chances

 

[shah9425]

Shanka is their last hope

 

[Katwalindian]

Only Shanaka is the dangerman

Shanaka can easily chase it down if stayed till the end

 

[CricVet]

60-65 is quite gettable in the last 5, as long as Shanaka is there hand have at least 2 bats in the dugout

 

[shah9425]

Lol

 

[CricVet]

Hit wicket

 

[Asif321]

Chalo hit wicket bhi hogaya . Everything gone wrong for lankans

 

[DRsohail]

Lo they are finding different ways to get out. Pathetic side.

 

[Bhaijaan]

HIT WICKET

Sri Lanka 69/7

Everything is going right from Pakistan’s POV

 

[Cryin Out Loud]

Lol. Amateur city.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

69-7

 

[globetrotter]

England can give follow on

 

[Asif321]

Massive run rate upgrade for English men

 

[leonidas_alexandar]

Very rare to see hit wicket these days. Grace Harris got out yesterday against India hit wicket.

 

[BunnyRabbit]

If he strikes at 136 in the top 3 and has a SR of 150 then how is his career SR a reflection of what he has predominantly done in the top 3? It's obvious that his career SR is inflated by the runs he has scored down the order.

All their other batters strike higher than 136 in the top 3.

He's only batted 15 times in t20is in the top 3 in internationals.
His overall t20 SR is over 150+ over 300+ t20s (much larger sample), so there's a reason to believe he can do better at the top than striking in 130s.
Buttler is woefully out of form. It's better to try Duckett or Jacks as an opener in the current wt20. Duckett is also a much better player of spin to be play in the current wt20.

 

[AamchiMumbaikar]

HIT WICKET

Sri Lanka 69/7

Everything is going right from Pakistan’s POV

How is this going to help pk/ nz ?

 

[aboveandbeyond]

The RR is a major boost for England going in to the next game.

 

[BunnyRabbit]

Although 74 off 7 overs isn't out of reach. But SL's tail has already started.
And it's pretty difficult to get on top of Adil.

 

[CricVet]

Lucky shanaka

 

[Asif321]

Bowling with some good gas

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Can they make 100?

 

[RexRex]

I did not expect this collapse from SL. To an Eng bowling attack ?

 

[batandballbattle]

pure suicide from sri lanka, choked away what should have been a comfortable chase

 

[Asif321]

Will be something heroic if Shanaka gets this

 

[batandballbattle]

another good shot ftom shanaka, he will basically have to do a lone carry job

 

[CricVet]

Can Shanaka do Faheem Ashraf? That will be something!
