Key events
Sri Lanka have won only once in an ODI against England, but they do have trump cards. Chamari Athapaththu is a veteran of franchise cricket and a real threat, while left-arm spinner Inoka Ranaweera had India worried with three wickets in an over in the opening game.
Preamble
Good morning! Today, we are in Colombo, where England start their two match adventure in Sri Lanka by playing the joint hosts.
It’s been a pretty shiny start for England. Two wins from two games left them top of the table after the first couple of rounds – even if the victory against Bangladesh wasn’t the most convincing performance – dragged over the line by Heather Knight and some catches that might have been.
Sri Lanka are yet to get going, losing to India in the opening game of the tournament while their game against Australia was washed out. But the ball spins a lot at Colombo, and England can come unstuck.
Play is due to start at 10.30am BST, though the grungy skies may push things back. Do join us.
