Sri Lanka to bounce back on England in T20I series

England and Sri Lanka are all set for their limited-overs campaign, which starts with the three-match T20I series on Wednesday. The Eoin-Morgan-captained Three Lions, being ICC’s no.1 ranked T20I team and playing in home conditions, are expected to start as the favourites.

The Lankans have strained in the format in the last few years and hence, are placed way down at eighth in the rankings. Back in March, they went to 10th ranked West Indies 1-2 in the three-match series. However, they can draw heart from their three T20I wins against the Brits in four games in the latter’s backyard.

England, earlier this year, lost the five-match series versus India 2-3. Going into the upcoming series, Jonny Bairstow has become uncertain due to an ankle sprain which he sustained during the ongoing T20 Blast.
