Sri Lanka win toss, choose to bat first against England in Sydney

Sydney: Dasun Shanaka has won the toss and chosen to bat first in a match that England have to win to qualify for the semi-finals. 

A win for England at the Sydney Cricket Ground on Saturday would put them through to the semi-finals and a loss will knock them out. Australia's win over Afghanistan on Friday put the hosts into the qualification spots but their net run rate remains below that of England. 

It means that Jos Buttler's side will pip Australia once the two sides go level on points, thus joining New Zealand as the two



sides to qualify from Group 1.
