Preview
England will take on Sri Lanka in the second ODI of the three-match series on September 23 at Headingley in Leeds as part of Sri Lanka’s tour of England.
England currently lead the series 1-0 and will look to maintain their momentum and strengthen their position in the series. Will Jacks produced an impressive all-round performance in the opening ODI to help the hosts secure a convincing victory.
Meanwhile, Sri Lanka, who were whitewashed in the preceding T20I series, will aim to bounce back in the 50-over format. Their bowling unit showed some promising signs in the first ODI, but the visitors will need to improve their batting performance, particularly when it comes to setting competitive totals or chasing down targets.
