England vs Sri Lanka Records & Stats

The facts and figures support a statement like nothing else. Such is the backstory of the ENG vs SL cricket stats that provides key insights into the tournament with the backing of numbers and figures. After the onset of the ICC World Cup, the England team has got a lot of series on hand. One amongst many others is the upcoming Sri Lanka tour of England. Coming after a sub par performance in the World Cup, the Sri Lankan outfit now have the challenges of tests against the England team who had an appreciable outing in the World Cup. Although the formats are quite different, the past history of matches have a psychological effect on the team’s morale. On another note, the past encounters between the two sides is also not a merry tale for the Lankans to rely on. If we look at the previous ENG vs SL match stats in tests, England have defeated the Sri Lankan team on 17 occasions while the vice versa has been true just for 8 times. With such “not good” history of encounters between the sides, it would take a lot for the Sri Lankan team to pull a rabbit out of nowhere to hand over a setback to the English team and to upgrade themselves in the ENG vs SL cricket stats. When the Sri Lanka team visits England, they will also have to cope with the overwhelming amount of home support for the English teams on grounds like the Lords where the records for the Englishmen have been quite impressive. So many challenges, and so many threats, the upcoming series will tell a lot of story about how ready is the Sri Lankan team for the challenges and if they are able to miraculously turn the tables on the English team in the SL vs ENG stats and records.
