Sri Lanka scored a minor upset in the World Cup and further opened up the tournament as they outclassed defending champions England to win by eight wickets at Bengaluru on Thursday.
England's title defence sunk to a new low as they registered their fourth loss of the tournament to Sri Lanka on Thursday at Bengaluru. Halfway through the tournament, England has won only one match and looks pretty much out of the competition.
A solid partnership based on half-centuries from Pathum Nissanka and Sadeera Samarawickrama and a three-wicket haul by Lahiru Kamara paved the way for Sri Lanka's dominating victory in Bengaluru on Thursday.

After two defeats in their opening three matches, the defending champions will look to turn around their World Cup campaign when they face South Africa at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on Saturday.
England opener Dawid Malan continued his incredible run this year, joining the elite company of English stars David Gower and Jonny Bairstow to have the joint-most ODI tons in a calendar year for his country.
Bairstow achieved the 100 ODI cap in the ICC Men's Cricket World Cup match against Bangladesh at the Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association stadium in Dharamshala.
