NEW DELHI: Sri Lanka managed to restrict England to a meager total of 156 runs, all out in just 33.2 overs in their ICC ODI World Cup match at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru.
The defending champions' batting display was disappointing, with only Ben Stokes putting up any notable resistance.
Stokes, with a score of 43, aggressively took on the Sri Lankan bowlers on a challenging wicket at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium. This came after England's middle order crumbled in the face of sharp and incisive bowling. Unfortunately, he eventually holed out to Dushan Hemantha in the deep off Lahiru Kumara, who took 3 wickets for 35 runs, in the 31st over.
