    What's the story

    England and Sri Lanka will meet in their respective last Super 12 match in the ongoing ICC T20 World Cup 2022.

    While the Three Lions can go through the semi-final with a win, Sri Lanka are officially eliminated.

    If England lose, Australia will join New Zealand as the other Group 1 team to feature in the semis.

    Here is the preview.
