ENG VS SL Toss Update: England Batting First In Pallekele Amid Rain Threat, Sri Lanka Bring Back Chameera
· Free Press Journal
Sri Lanka captain Dasun Shanaka has won the toss and opted to field first in the ICC T20 World Cup Super 8 clash against England. England have named the same XI from their last group stage game, while Sri Lanka have run in two changes from their loss to Zimbabwe. Kamil Mishara and Dushmantha Chameera both feature in Pallekele what is likely to be a rain threatened game.
" We've been chasing it well in the past few occasions, happy to chase it down. Very happy and very confident. Boys are very confident playing here. Injuries have been very damaging but at the same time, the replacements have done really well for us. Couple of changes. Chameera comes back for Pramod Madushan and Kamil Mishara comes for Kusal Perera," Shanaka said at the toss.
