The M Chinnaswamy stadium in Bengaluru is all set for a terrific contest, as England take on Sri Lanka in match no. 25 of the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 on Thursday, October 26.

Sri Lanka and England have suffered a similar fate in the tournament until this point. Both teams have picked up only one victory so far and put themselves far away from contention for a place in the knockout stages.

However, with plenty of other results working out favourably, they still are within touching distance of that fourth spot. England's predicaments have been clear from the opening match of the tournament, where they were hammered across every department by New Zealand.

Their campaign seemed to have resurrected after a thumping win against Bangladesh, but it only started to fall further apart.
