England vs Sri Lanka Chance of Winning

England haven’t had the easiest of campaigns thus far. Regardless, England were favourites to make the next round and they have done so with three wins in four games and would be hoping for a similar impact in Super Eight. In the last game, they went head to head against Italy and they won the game by 24 runs.

Sri Lanka went head to head against England prior to this tournament and they lost the series 3-0. Sri Lanka have managed to turn things around as they ended up at the top of the table and made the Super Eight this term. As per our calculations, England are favourites in the upcoming game.

  • England’ chances of winning - 64%
  • Sri Lanka’ chances of winning - 36%

England vs Sri Lanka Prediction & Tips 2026

Tom Banton was sensational in the last series against Sri Lanka as he scored 90 runs in the series. In the last two matches, Banton has scored 63 and 30 which makes us believe he will do well in the upcoming game.

Kusal Mendis did not have a good game in the last outing but he has been outstanding this season and has scored 182 runs which includes three half centuries which makes us believe he will do well in the upcoming game.
