Sri Lanka have opted to chase against England in Pallekele, hoping to replicate their dominant victory over Australia here to kickstart their Super Eight campaign.
It was six days ago that Pathum Nissanka's unbeaten 100 saw the hosts chase down Australia's total of 181 with eight wickets and two overs to spare. And home skipper Dasun Shanaka is looking to utilise that confidence in this Group 2 encounter. "We've been chasing well in the past few occasions and happy to chase again," Shanaka said at the toss. "The boys are very confident playing here."
