19:30 IST / 14:00 GMT
Sharjah Cricket Stadium - Sharjah, United Arab Emirates
Keeper-batter Jos Buttler smashed 71 not out from 32 balls in Saturday’s win over Australia and is well worth backing as England’s highest run scorer in this match. With the ball, Chris Jordan returned figures of 3-17 on Saturday and is a strong choice for England’s top wicket taker against Sri Lanka.
Opener Pathum Nissanka hit 72 from 58 balls against South Africa, his second half-century of the tournament. He is our tip for Sri Lanka’s highest run scorer against England. Wanindu Hasaranga was the pick of the Sri Lanka bowlers against South Africa and took 2-30 from his 4 overs. The spinner is our recommendation for their top wicket taker in this match.
In a team of destructive batters, Jos Buttler is England’s number one in this format. We predict that he will take the Player of The Match Award in this game.

England vs Sri Lanka Match Prediction & Betting Tips, T20 World Cup 2021
England and Sri Lanka meet in Monday’s only match in the 2021 T20 World Cup. They meet at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium after contrasting fortunes in their last games on Saturday. England thrashed Australia by 8 wickets to make it three wins from three whilst Sri Lanka were beaten for the second time in the Super 12 stage, this time by South Africa. Read on as we preview this game. The match begins at 18:00 local time.
England are on a roll after wins over West Indies, Bangladesh and Australia. This may be a tougher game than many anticipate but they will still come into it with high expectations.
Sri Lanka have put in some good displays in this 2021 T20 World Cup but have come up short against the stronger sides. However, a low turning pitch may well suit them and they did beat England in the 2019 ODI World Cup.

Although pace bowler Mark Wood may finally be available for this game, it is highly unlikely that the England hierarchy will take any unnecessary risks with his fitness. Tom Curran is now fit but none of
ENG Key Players
Jos Buttler- England’s vice-captain and wicket-keeper is still yet to have a career defining tournament. His big score against Australia may just be the catalyst for him dominating the competition.
Jason Roy- the opener was in typically attacking mood in spite of the modest total England had to chase on Saturday. He hit a four and a six in his 20-ball 22.
Adil Rashid- the leg-spinner opened the bowling against Australia. A clear sign that he is a bowler who batters are more wary of than fellow spinner Moeen Ali
ENG Team Form
England have now won their last five games in this format and will be looking to make it six against a Sri Lanka who have struggled against the very best so far in the tournament.
England Predicted Playing 11
Jos Buttler (wk), Jason Roy, Jonny Bairstow, Dawid Malan, Eoin Morgan (c), Liam Livingstone, Moeen Ali, Chris Woakes, Chris Jordan, Adil Rashid, Tymal Mills
ENG vs SL Dream11 Team Prediction, Captain, Vice Captain
Wicket-keeper
Jos Buttler (10.5) and Kusal Perera (9) will be our wicket-keepers. Buttler showed that he is one of the world’s top white ball batters on Saturday.
Batsmen
Jason Roy (9), Charith Asalanka (9) and Pathum Nissanka (8.5) are our batsmen. All three batters have been in strong form in the tournament so far.
All-rounders
Wanindu Hasaranga (10), Moeen Ali (9) and Liam Livingstone (8.5) will be our all-rounders. Hasaranga caused England’s batting order some problems when they met in England earlier this year.
Bowlers
Adil Rashid (9), Chris Woakes (9) and Chris Jordan (8.5) are our bowlers. We expect to see Rashid particularly useful on this surface..
Captain/Vice-captain
Jos Buttler will be captain, Wanindu Hasaranga his deputy
All Rounder:Wanindu Hasaranga(vc), Moeen Ali, Liam Livingstone
Wicket Keeper:Jos Buttler(c), Kusal Perera
Bowler:Adil Rashid, Chris Woakes, Chris Jordan
Sri Lanka Team News & Playing 11
SL Team News
Dasun Shanaka’s side came agonisingly close to beating South Africa in Saturday’s early game. Lahiru Kamara’s final over disappeared for 18 runs after Wanindu Hasaranga had previously taken a hat-trick. Maheesh Theekshana does not look 100% fit but will probably retain his place for this must win game.
SL Key Players
Charith Asalanka- the relative newcomer to international cricket produced another fluent innings on Saturday hitting 21 from 14.
Wanindu Hasaranga- we have not seen any heroics with the bat in this stage of the tournament but his bowling was back to his trademark best against South Africa.
Dushmantha Chameera- the experienced pace bowler produced his best figures of the tournament against South Africa. When he gets it right he is a very useful fast bowling option
SL Team Form
Sri Lanka have now lost their last two games in the T20 World Cup but have not played badly in either game.
Jos Buttler, Jason Roy and Jonny Bairstow are our picks with the bat for England. Buttler hit 10 boundaries in his 71 not-out against Australia.
Our recommendations with the bat for Sri Lanka are Kusal Perera, Charith Asalanka and Pathum Nissanka. Asalanka and Nissanka put on a 41-run partnership for the second wicket on Saturday.
We are backing Adil Rashid, Chris Woakes and Chris Jordan with the ball for England. Adil Rashid has gone under the radar in a couple of games but will enjoy the pitch in Sharjah.
For Sri Lanka, our tips with the ball are Wanindu Hasaranga, Dushmantha Chameera and Maheesh Theekshana. Hasaranga continues to be a class above most other spin bowlers in the tournament.
England are heavy favourites for this game but have often come unstuck against sides like Sri Lanka on low spinning wickets in the past. Wanindu Hasaranga will be a big threat and expect England’s batters to play him with plenty of respect. Overall we are predicting a few bumps in the road but another win for England.
