Sri Lanka won the toss and chose to field against England in their Super Eights Group 2 match at Pallekele, where England previously triumphed 3-0 in a T20 series. Sri Lanka captain Dasun Shanaka expressed confidence in chasing the target after a strong performance against Australia, while England’s Harry Brook noted a preference to bowl first if they had won the toss. Sri Lanka made two changes to their lineup, bringing back Dushmantha Chameera and Kusal Perera. England retained the same XI for the fourth consecutive game, featuring three spinners and two pace bowlers.
