Danushka Gunathilaka will have to play a major role if Sri Lanka were to cause an upset in this series.

Preview:

Ahead of the ICC World T20, which will be held later this year, England will clash with Sri Lanka in a 3-match T20I series. The Three Lions’ last T20I series did not go as planned, as they went down fighting against India.

But that being said, they will be the obvious favourites to win this series for a couple of reasons. Firstly, it is always going to be very difficult to beat the Englishmen at their own den. To add to that, their opposition Sri Lanka have looked out of sorts in their recent T20I matches.

Match Details:

England vs Sri Lanka, 1st T20I

Venue: Sophia Gardens, Cardiff

Live Streaming: Sony Sports Network

Pitch Report:

The track here at Sophia Gardens will initially provide a lot of help to the seamers, but the batsmen will eventually come into the act.
