Adil Rashid Run Out - Kusal Mendis
PC: X

Adil Rashid would be punching himself with the way he got out in the game against Sri Lanka. The 25th match of the ICC World Cup 2023 is taking place at the Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bangalore.

England displayed a torrid batting display against Sri Lanka as they were bundled out for a low total. With the way Adil Rashid got out, it summed up the mindset of the defending champions in their must-win encounter.

David Willey didn???t play down the leg-side delivery from Mahesh Theekshana. Adil Rashid at the other end was out of his crease and Sri Lanka captain Kusal Mendis spotted that quickly. He effected the direct hit and the England spinner was well short of his crease.

Adil Rashid was unaware that Kusal Mendis spotted him outside the crease. However, he himself is to be blamed as there was no chance of being single. Here???s the video of his dismissal:

Adil Rashid scored just 2 runs his wicket wicket crumbled England more. The Jos Buttler-led side looked under immense pressure right from the start. They are on the verge of elimination from the tournament as they have lost the majority of their games.

ENG vs SL: After Adil Rashid???s wicket, England get bundled out 156 runs

England opted to bat first and it seemed that they would end up with a big total. Jonny Bairstow (30) and Dawid Malan (28) had started but they couldn???t convert. After the openers were back in the hut, the defending champions suffered a collapse and lost wickets in clusters.

Ben Stokes (43) tried to keep the side in the hut with his vital knock but couldn???t continue. Sri Lanka bowlers were all over the batters. Lahiru Kumara picked three wickets whereas Angelo Mathews and Kasun Rajitha bagged two scalps each.

Coming into the game, the defending champions were desperate to win but they have very little chance of that now. They already have lost three games out of their four matches. They can???t afford to lose a game as it would mean that their chances of qualifying for the semi-finals would be dented. They need to win all their games from now.
