Many cricket writers, these days look at the weather before writing about what the cricket match would be. Sri Lanka chose to bat at Leeds, where the weather with brightness of sunshine looks good for batting first. The pitch is dry and plenty of runs might be scores as Sri Lanka chose to bat for any reasons.
After winning the toss Sri Lanka made it clear that this match will be not one sided and the game is on. England will look for early wickets but the strong opening pair of Sri Lanka will not allow them. England might be dangerous had they won the toss and elected to bat first. Leeds looks fine for the best score to be scored. And a side, who bats extremely well as during this time it’s Sri Lanka to reach 400 runs. If Sri Lanka reaches 400 then it will be tough for England to chase.
Lankan captain made few changes in the playing 11 and looks forward for win at Leeds. Fans for both teams will watch a full game played better as it supposed to be interesting contest. Other teams may not like Sri Lanka to win against England because of the points table. Points table will be changed as such Sri Lanka will be in the top four with this victory. A victory for Sri Lanka looks inevitable as they took right decisions in selecting their playing eleven. Furthermore Sri Lanka chose to bat, which’s also a very good decision.
