Sri Lanka vs England prediction

England head to Sri Lanka with pressure on their shoulders as the post-mortem of their failed Ashes series in Australia continues. Getting back on the pitch may well be what’s best for the players involved here as they turn their attentions to white ball cricket. However, it may well take them time to adjust back into white-ball mode.

However, when you look at their team, there’s so much talent within the side that you would expect them to overwhelm Sri Lanka’s bowlers, even if the pitch does prove to be a good one for bowling. Adil Rashid ensures that the tourists are covered in the spin-department and there is significant batting depth. With a point to prove, back England in this one.
