ICC Men's World Cup: England to take on Sri Lanka in Bengaluru today

England still have five more games to play and an array of wins could leave them with a good chance to make the knockout stage of the World Cup. If they win all their remaining five matches in the tournament, they will be left with a maximum of 12 points, which could although not guarantee them a semifinal berth but would definitely leave them hopeful. England's fate hence not only depends on the results in their subsequent league games, but also on how things turn out for the rest of the nine teams.

England will take on former champions Sri



Lanka in Bengaluru on October 26. The 1996 champions have incurred a similar fate in this edition of the World Cup, but stand ahead of England on the points table by virtue of a better NRR (-1.048). The team's toughest test however is on Sunday against table-toppers India in Lucknow and on November 4 against Australia in Ahmedabad. They will also play Netherlands on November 8 in Pune before taking on 1992 champions Pakistan in their final game in Kolkata on November 11.
