England vs Sri Lanka Prediction & Betting Tips 2023
Considering the game is being played in Bangalore we expect some fireworks in the game. It's hard to go against England when it comes to hitting sixes especially when you expect a response from them after an underwhelming start to the tournament. In the last two games, Sri Lanka has managed to hit four sixes and on the other hand, England has managed to hit 10 sixes in the last two games. We believe England will score more sixes than Sri Lanka in the upcoming game.
Johnny Bairstow hasn’t had a great World Cup thus far. In four games thus far, Bairstow has scored 33, 52, 2 and 10 averaging 24.25. In three of the four games, Bairstow has fallen short of required runs set by the bookmakers which makes us believe Bairstow would score low once again in the upcoming game against Sri Lanka

England vs Sri Lanka Match Toss Prediction
The wicket in Bangalore is a nightmare for bowlers as it is one of the smallest grounds in India. In the last four games, the team batting first has won the game on three occasions which makes us believe both sides would prefer to bat first at the venue.
Weather Report
With 5% chances of disruptions we believe climate would not play a major role in the game. Maximum temperature is expected to be 30C during the game and minimum temperature is expected to be 19C.

England vs Sri Lanka Betting Odds
England to have a better opening partnership than Sri Lanka
England and Sri Lanka have struggled to get going in the World Cup and it isn’t a surprise that both teams are struggling to make the top four in this tournament. One of the key reasons for Sri Lanka’s struggles this term is the fact they tend to lose early wickets, the game against Australia was an exception as they constituted an opening stand of 125 runs. In the four games thus far, Sri Lanka has managed an opening stand of 1, 5, 125 and 18 and have conceded a bigger opening stand in the first two matches. On the other hand, England managed an opening stand of 40, 115, 3 and 18. Even though England's record doesn’t look much better than Sri Lanka, we would still back England in this tip due to the fact England have had a better opening stand in three of the four games so far. Considering the fact the game would be played in Bangalore which is a batting paradise, England have enough fire power in Dawid Malan and Johnny Bairstow to overpower Sri Lanka bowling attack and get a big opening stand. This is a great opportunity for you to get some quick financial benefits.

England vs Sri Lanka Top Team Batters
Joe Root to be England’s top batter
England batsmen have struggled to get going in the last two games but that doesn’t change the fact, Joe Root is key for England’s resurgence in the remaining fixture if they aspire to make the playoffs. Root has already bagged two half centuries this term and we believe he would come good against Sri Lanka which makes him our top pick for the upcoming game.
Sadeera Samarawickrama to be Sri Lanka’s top batter
Sadeera Samarawickrama have had a great campaign thus far and after a slow start has a century and an unbeaten half century in the last three games. With 230 runs, Samarawickrama is the leading run scorer for Sri Lanka so far which makes him our top pick for the upcoming game.
England vs Sri Lanka Top Team Bowlers
Adil Rashid to be England’s top bowler
The upcoming game against Sri Lanka would be a graveyard for the bowlers since the game would be played in Bangalore which offers nothing to the bowlers. Adil Rashid had a underwhelming game against New Zealand but since then he has been economical and has bagged six wickets for England in the last three games which makes him our top pick for the upcoming game.
Dilshan Madushanka to be Sri Lanka’s top bowler
Dilshan Madushanka has been sensational for Sri Lanka in this tournament and has been one of the most consistent bowlers in the World Cup. With 11 wickets, Madushanka is the leading wicket taker for Sri Lanka which makes him our top pick for the upcoming game.
