England Vs Sri Lanka, ICC T20 World Cup: All-Round Brilliance from Will Jacks Powers England Past Hosts
England thrash Sri Lanka by 51 runs to win their first Super 8 encounter. Will Jacks put in an all-round show by playing a crucial cameo of 21 runs with the bat and chipping in with 3 key wickets with the ball? After being put in to bat first, ENG were restricted at 146/9 by the hosts, but the Three Lions made a scintillating comeback with the bowl to skittle SL for just 95 in 16.2 overs. Dasun Shanaka (30) was the only batter who could show some resilience with the bat for the hosts
