As the pushing and jostling for an entry into the knockout stage intensifies,England and Sri Lanka head into an immensely-crucial Group 2 Super 10 clash in the World Twenty20 2016 at the Feroz Shah Kotla in New Delhi on Saturday (March 26), with their unpredictable batting line-ups in focus.

England have shown signs of being a top-heavy side with Eoin Morgan, the skipper, constantly praising a line-up that can bat very deep. Against South Africa, their devastating skills was in full display as they chased down 226 at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai, but that they crumbled rather dramatically on a slower wicket in Delhi against a spin quartet unleashed by Afghanistan comes as a blot on their temperament.

Sri Lanka have played a game lesser but the issues in the middle-order is one they need to sort out at the earliest. Dinesh Chandimal spoke of having observed England’s game against Afghanistan and having a few tricks up their sleeve for their opponents, but one would hope this involved straightening out their batting woes. Angelo Mathews will hope his players will be revitalised after a five-day-long break since their previous game and hit England hard on the low and slow Kotla track. The wicket did not offer too much spin but it was enough to rattle England’s famed batting order against Afghanistan.

The start provided by Tillakaratne Dilshan will once again be key for Sri Lanka but a lot will also rest on how well the likes of Lahiru Thirimanne, Chamara Kapugedera, Angelo Mathews and Milinda Siriwardana deal with England’s disciplined bowling attack. For England, it will be about how they find middle ground between their need to play aggressively at the start and adapting to the conditions. The dew factor could play a big role in the captains’ decision at the toss but, as recent history suggests, England will be better of chasing.
