England v Sri Lanka Betting Tips & Predictions
The ICC Cricket World Cup hosts are back in action this weekend when England take on Sri Lanka at Emerald Headingly, Leeds on Friday afternoon. The match gets underway at 10.30am GMT and will be shown in its entirety on Sky Sports. There’s a real buzz about the team as we get into the thick of the tournament and everyone involved will be keen to build on that. Here are our top England v Sri Lanka betting tips.
It hasn’t been the perfect World Cup some fans may have been hoping for and this England side have picked up their bumps and bruises along the way, even suffering a surprise defeat. They have held their nerve in the face of incredible pressure, however, and rallied to put in a few thoroughly impressive performances. England are looking like a team determined to go far this summer and make history by winning their first World Cup.
Morgan Surprised Himself
The confidence that exists in this team was never more obvious than when England smashed Afghanistan from pillar to post on Tuesday afternoon, wracking up a stunning 150-run victory. The level of opposition may mean that win doesn’t get the credit it deserves but we have seen Afghanistan give a few sides a difficult workout already, but they were unable to land a glove on a team who were firing on all cylinders. The scoreboard read 397-6 against 247-8 and it was an enjoyable round of cricket.
One man who made headlines for his performance that day was Eoin Morgan who stunned onlooker by smashing 148 runs off just 71 balls and that left supporters in awe. That haul included a record q7 sixes and it’s an innings that will live long in the memory, not just for the player who appears to be really enjoying his cricket at the minute. There’s no doubt England would’ve won the match without Morgan’s score but it’s an example of just how well the team are playing at the minute. What will worry their opponents going forward is there looks plenty more to come.
Speaking to the sporting press at the end of that thumping win over Afghanistan on Tuesday, Morgan seemed a little surprised himself, saying never in his wildest dreams had he imagined he would score an innings like the one achieved that day. Joking about his age and recurring injuries, he added he never thought he was still capable of doing so much running. Morgan has been a fine servant to English cricket over the years, both in good time and bad, so there won’t be many who would grudge him that success.
