England U-19 vs Sri Lanka U-19 Chances of Winning

Sri Lanka U-19 came back with a kind of vigor and aggression that was lacking in their approach in the 2022 series between the sides. They were put in to bat first but it did not deter them at all as Mahith Perera, Sharujan Shanmuganathan, Diniru Abeywickramasingha and skipper Dinura Kalupahana were absolutely unyielding with scores of 58*, 57, 52 and 49, respectively. They gave the bowlers the wiggle room to play a relaxed innings and their bowling arsenal came through for the team by dismissing England U-19 for 229 well before the 50-over mark. Noah Thain’s 58 and Luc Benkenstein’s 51 were not enough to get England over the line which resulted in a 65-run defeat.

In Sri Lanka U-19’s tour of England during the 2022 season, the hosts handed Sri Lanka U-19 a solid thrashing in a 3-0 series victory. However, the equation is quite different this season and Sri Lanka U-19 have a rekindled course of action which has the potential to give the home side a run for their money.

England U-19-s vs Sri Lanka U-19-s Betting Tips

Sri Lanka U-19 to score low before first dismissal

Pulindu Perera has been the linchpin for the team’s first wicket but he has had to collaborate with several batters to open the innings for Sri Lanka U-19. In the first game of the series, he was paired up with Thisara Ekanayake and together, they did some damage with a partnership of 38 runs. However, this was not the case in the Under-19 World Cup where their opening order was quite vulnerable and prone to early dismissals, reflected in partnerships of 0, 5, 0, 10 and 1. It is going to become challenging for them to survive England U-19’s destructive bowlers if they cannot keep up their momentum.

England U-19 to have a better opening partnership than Sri Lanka U-19

England’s openers outgunned Sri Lanka’s first wicket partnership by a whisker in the previous outing. Keshana Fonseka and Freddie McCann led the way for England and they added 39 runs to the first wicket. Meanwhile, Pulindu Perera’s dismissal ended his partnership with Thisara Ekanayake with 38 runs on the board for Sri Lanka. In the last three fixtures of the U-19 World Cup, Sri Lanka had opening totals of 0, 5 and 0 while England settled for stands of 39, 7 and 0. Sri Lanka U-19’s opening order are on the backfoot for the upcoming match.

England U-19-s vs Sri Lanka U-19-s Best Batters

Noah Thain to be England U-19’s Best Batter

Noah Thain was the team’s top run scorer in the first match of the series where he hit the ground running with a half-century, having scored 58 runs. He was quite prolific in the Under-19 World Cup where he amassed 138 runs in four innings which included a 50. He was averaging at 46.00 and will be expected to come out on top again.

Mahith Pererato be Sri Lanka U-19’s Best Batter

Mahith Perera topped Sri Lanka U-19’s run charts with an unbeaten 58 and remains a force to be reckoned with in the middle order. He was striking at 96.66 during the match. This was his big break in his ODI career so far and he will be eager to make a mark once more.

England U-19-s vs Sri Lanka U-19-s Best Bowlers

Noah Cornwell to be England U-19’s Best Bowler

Noah Cornwell was the top bowler in the last outing against Sri Lanka U1-9 where he brought home a three-wicket haul in nine overs. Additionally, he was quite economical with the ball since he conceded 54 runs and ended up with an economy rate of 6.00. He is expected to be their premier bowler this time around, too.

Vihas Thewmika to be Sri Lanka U-19’s Best Bowler

Vihas Thewmika led Sri Lanka U-19’s bowling attack in the first match where he managed to bag three wickets in nine overs. He made his presence felt with a big haul to kick things off and he was also rather circumspect in his approach, given that he allowed 37 runs to be scored off his bowling which earned him an economy rate of 4.11. He is a strong contender to lead the charge.

Favorites to win

England U-19

Sri Lanka U-19 were simply at the top of their game in the first match with a sublime performance to kickstart the Youth ODI series. Following the mayhem of the initial match, it is easy to get blind sided to England U-19’s strength as a squad and forget just how dominant they were the last time they hosted Sri Lanka U-19. There is no denying that home soil advantage is going to play a decisive role in this series and the bookmakers are confident that England U-19 will make full use of that.
