Group 1 in the Super 12 stage of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2022 will end with the match of England vs Sri Lanka. Sydney Cricket Ground (Sydney) will host this game on Saturday (5th November) evening.
It is the must-win game for England to advance to the semi-finals of this competition. After a five-wicket win against Afghanistan, England suffered a five-run defeat (DLS method) against Ireland in a rain-interrupted game and experienced a washout against the hosts and defending champions Australia. In their last match, England beat New Zealand by 20 runs.
In the meantime, the Group A champions in the First Round of this tournament, Sri Lanka, beat Ireland (by 9 wickets) and Afghanistan (by 6 wickets) but lost against Australia (by 7 wickets) and New Zealand (by 65 runs). Unfortunately, Sri Lanka can’t reach the semi-finals of this competition even after winning their last game of the Super 12 stage against England.
