There is nothing to talk about England’s bowling performance in this match. The only standout bowler was David Willey who took two wickets to give his team an outside chance. But there was no support from the rest of the bowlers.
Sri Lanka has kept alive their hopes for the Semi-Finals but England played average cricket throughout the tournament till now. They are almost out of the tournament. A World Cup that England will definitely want to forget as quickly as possible.
