England vs Sri Lanka prediction
England’s last game saw them stumble badly when chasing 179 to beat Bangladesh amid some excellent bowling from the Tigers. But class eventually told and Heather Knight’s patient 79 not out proved to be the difference as wickets fell around her, England eventually scrambling home with four wickets and just under four overs to spare. This leaves Nat Sciver-Brunt’s side still unbeaten with four points from a possible four.
It's been the opposite story for Sri Lanka, who are still without a win but will have been happy to take a point against Australia following a washout. Facing India, Australia and now England underlines how tough a schedule this Sri Lankan team has been dealt to start the group stage. As was the case with India, England are likely to make their quality count against Sri Lanka and pick up victory.
England vs Sri Lanka tip: England to win
