In a high-stakes encounter at the illustrious Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai, Sri Lanka and England, both on the precipice of elimination, fervently seek a return to their winning ways. Match 25 of the ODI World Cup 2023 promises intense action. Despite a lone victory in four matches, both teams have endured a lackluster campaign. The points table currently finds Sri Lanka in the seventh position, while the defending champions languish in eighth. For either team, a defeat in this crucial clash could have dire consequences, given the escalating competition for a coveted top-four spot.

Remarkably, the last four World Cup meetings between these two sides have all swayed in Sri Lanka's favor. This includes a memorable 20-run victory in the 2019 World Cup, eventually secured by England.
