Sri Lanka [232/9] beat England [212] by 20 runs in the 27th match of the 2019 World Cup

[Sunzi]

Chink in England's armour here. Flat track bullies...

 

[Hasan2K8]

You give Sri Lanka a sniff, they’ll be all over you like a pack of hyenas!

 

[Mkumar825]

Now tournament pitch assist more spin day by day ...

 

[KingKhanWC]

Mark Wood cant last, up to Stokes to risk all for the win.

 

[Gabbar Singh]

Wow what a result. Gave up on this match thinking Sri Lanka were certain to lose. And now this. What a wonderful sport cricket is.

 

[JellyBro]

England needs to lose 2 out of their remaining 3 games. If NZ also lose to WI then NZ will have to lose to England, Aus and Pakistan to be eliminated. Pakistan can only progress by overtaking one of England or NZ.

Of course the unstated assumption is that we need to win all of our remaining games haha

we might win against SA, Ban, NZ but lose against Afg. I wont be surprised lol

 

[JibranAnsari]

Well sl win can make the rest of the tournament interesting for lower ranked teams.a

 

[BDfanforever]

2015 WC all over again for Eng except this time it is against SRL.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

This is brilliant. Let’s go Sri Lanka

 

[Hasan2K8]

I said it in the first page. These are wickets dangerous to this England team who have mastered flat wickets. Anything slow they’ll struggle.

 

[Mkumar825]

Mark Wood cant last, up to Stokes to risk all for the win.

Now they have 5% chance only

 

[Hasan123]

Get wickets and attack England with spin. That's how you beat them.

 

[bujhee kom]

Now definitely England will be out of tournament

Can beat Aus, NZ or India. All 50/50 games. Let's not over analyze this poor game.

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Will the real Srilanka please stand up, please stand up

 

[KingKhanWC]

Big move to use Malinga now, going for the win but I would have saved him.

 

[Ronaldo7]

Can beat Aus, NZ or India. All 50/50 games. Let's not over analyze this poor game.

It's about their confidence. It'll be shattered now.

 

[emranabbas]

Now if Aussies and India beat England Pak are still in if they win their remaining games

 

[TheRock]

Stokes doing a dhoni. Not giving strike to partner.

 

[ekpakistani]

Remember SL were two down for nothing.. What a comeback

 

[Mkumar825]

Can beat Aus, NZ or India. All 50/50 games. Let's not over analyze this poor game.

Now as tournament progress pitch will be spinners friendly

 

[Mkumar825]

Dropped

 

[KingKhanWC]

Dropped, bottled it )

 

[Hasan123]

Mendis dropped . He's a good fielder as well.

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Oh no why why why drop catch drop this player

 

[Mkumar825]

Six

 

[hur rizvi]

Stokes

 

[Mkumar825]

[Hasan123]

Stokes . Wow.

 

[LongtimeLurk3r]

Stokes taking it home for Eng. Super stuff!

 

[TheRock]

Stokes has had enough. Successive Sixes

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

& Lance Klusener in the house

 

[JellyBro]

omg hes gonna finish it in this over

 

[Ronaldo7]

Lol.

 

[Mkumar825]

Where is variation ...?

 

[KingKhanWC]

Sir Ben Stokes

 

[MMHS]

Poms are risking elimination from WC!!!!! They still have AUS, NZL & IND - might lose every game!!!!! I wrote few days back to [MENTION=2764]AMJAD[/MENTION] Javed (after loss to PAK), that England might not be that good as they look - definitely not that good while chasing & we missed a trick by inserting them on a belter and allowed them to bash without chasing pressure.

6 points & SRL are in great position to make SF!!!!!

 

[Hasan123]

Need Wood to face some balls. Otherwise no chance.

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Mark wood how quick are you, how quick are you Mark Wood - Sounded like Athar - our of breath

 

[LongtimeLurk3r]

Cmon SL ... one more wicket!

 

[Mkumar825]

One more wicket pls

 

[bilawal666]

Does Sri Lankan winning help Pakistan?

 

[Ronaldo7]

Does Sri Lankan winning help Pakistan?

Yes.

 

[hur rizvi]

De silva bowled out?

 

[KingKhanWC]

This doesn't look like the England of the 90's, they would have been on the way home by now.

What a game to watch right now.

 

[Ahmed216]

Sarfraz would have exposed mark wood to strike being confident in his inability to hit.

 

[JibranAnsari]

C'mon sl

 

[JaDed]

Lanka and their drops at crucial points

England will win this and beat India too. We all can have a bad day at the office.

 

[Hasan123]

Bring Pererra on.

 

[LongtimeLurk3r]

Stokes doing a Dhoni

 

[Mlsrock]

What a beautiful game of cricket, whatever result will be

 

[Hasan2K8]

What a low scoring thriller. Stokes to take England home.

 

[Hasan123]

De silva bowled out?

Has 2 overs left.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Bhai out kero

 

[Mkumar825]

Pathetic feild placement

 

[Sunzi]

Oh man.. Stokes is wrestling this back.

Tension Tension yaar!

 

[Hasan123]

That drop is going to be crucial.

 

[Ahmed216]

Chink in England's armour here. Flat track bullies...

Good for them they r playing a close match before the big ones and knockouts

 

[Hasan123]

Stokes is the best all rounder in the game. No debate.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Even if england win , their next three matches are real tough.

 

[JaDed]

Ah man!

 

[Green Patriot]

Stokes you beauty.
If Lanka lose this they will be absolutely gutted.

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Pradeep looks like a real gangster with bling bling

 

[Hasan123]

Stokes has played this well.

 

[LongtimeLurk3r]

Damn.. game over... well played Stokes

 

[ekpakistani]

... Goneee.. SL WIN ... What a comeback... Eng no longer favorites

 

[Ahmed216]

Winning the tosses in knockouts will be critical to englands chances of lifting the trophy

 

[KingKhanWC]

If Stokes takes this home, the best all rounder for me.

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

yessssssssssssss

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Yesss lanka wins

 

[LongtimeLurk3r]

Yay!!!! SL Win!!!

 

[Syed1]
