England, a team in dissaray and already facing an early exit, take on a battered Sri Lanka, in match 25 of the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 in the M.Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru. England's hopes of winning the World Cup are hanging by a thread with a third defeat (to South Africa) and now depend on permutations and calculations at best if they are to progress to the latter stages. Jos Buttler's captaincy might be called in to question whereas Reece Topley's injury has not made things better for the English. (Match Blog | Scorecard | Key Battles | Full Coverage)
Ben Stokes' arrival in to the squad might be too late but a win against a hapless Sri Lanka could revive some hopes for the 2019 WC champions.

As for the 1996 champions, Sri Lanka, have only one win in their four games played. The Islanders have been marred with injuries and the latest to be added on the medical list is Matheesha Pathirana. Pathirana had sustained a shoulder injury during Sri Lanka's match against Pakistan, and the 20-year-old did not play in the subsequent games against Australia and Netherlands. Sri Lanka have roped in veteran all-rounder Angelo Mathews to replace the injured pacer Matheesha Pathirana in Sri Lanka's World Cup squad ahead of their match against England in Bengaluru on Thursday.
Head-to-head record in World Cups
England and Sri Lanka have met each other in 11 times in World Cup games with England team winning 6 matches and Sri Lanka with 5 victories.
