No snark detected, I'm fronting off not a lot myself. Yeah, I suppose there is and that's why I think England will make the final four without much difficulty. But there are times when having the best batting lineup in the world just isn't enough on the day, whether that's down to canny bowling and fielding, the conditions, errors, off-days or even bad luck. I do wonder how many of these monster scores we've posted in the past couple of years are thanks to the stars aligning.

Really enjoyed those highlights, the International Circus took a very well deserved defeat.
Good for the competition overall.
Pakistan the most unpredictable team ever.

The match today has a do-or-die feel about it quite early in the tournament. Sri Lanka and Afghanistan took heavy beatings from NZ and Australia so they will be targeting today as the match with which to bounce back.
Afghanistan's recent promotion to the top table means these two have only played three times in ODIs in the past. Sri Lanka won the first two, in the 2014 Asia Cup and the 2015 World Cup but Afghanistan were victorious last autumn in the 2018 Asia Cup.
