28.10.2023 - 15:45 sports.ndtv.com

Sri Lanka pushed dismal England to the brink of Cricket World Cup 2023 elimination on Thursday when they handed the defending champions an eight-wicket thrashing.

It was a second win in five games for 1996 champions Sri Lanka. However, England now have four defeats and just one victory and need to win their remaining four matches to maintain their slender hope of sneaking into the semi-finals.

When asked about his feelings regarding it, Australia skipper Pat Cummins -- a player from England's arch-rival team -- said that he was sad to see the outcome of the match.

While his words explained sympathy towards the England cricket team, Cummins' expression explained better as the player said it all with a laughing face.
