England (ENG) and Sri Lanka (SL) will square off in Match 25 of the current ODI World Cup 2023 on Thursday, October 26 at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bangalore.
England will be into the match fresh off a defeat to South Africa. Up until now, the reigning champs haven’t been able to play at their peak. On the other hand, Sri Lanka defeated the Netherlands handily in their most recent encounter.
One of the main topics of conversation leading up to the game would be the forecast for match day weather. On October 26, Bangalore will experience daytime highs of about 31°C and nighttime lows of 19°C. According to weather.com, the sky will be clear during the day and partially cloudy at night. In addition, there is a 1% chance of rain during the day and a 5% chance at night; rain is not predicted to ruin the clear day. Throughout the day, the humidity will be 47%, and at night, it will reach 61%.
England hopes to improve after poor performances.
With the match rapidly approaching, all eyes will be on the England team lead by Jos Buttler. As the reigning champions, every fan had high hopes for the team and their style of cricket going into the competition.
But the team has only managed two points in four games in the campaign thus far. Notably, England has only won one game—against Bangladesh—and has lost to Afghanistan, New Zealand, and South Africa.
With two points from four ODI World Cup 2023 matches, the team is now ranked ninth in the standings. In order to survive the competition, England will have to rally and secure their second victory as the match against Sri Lanka draws near.
