In the 25th ODI World Cup 2023 match, defending champions England (ENG) will take on Sri Lanka (SL) on October 26 at M. Chinnaswamy Stadium for their fifth clash of the marquee event. Notably, England currently holds the last spot, while Sri Lanka is also at the bottom of the table, as both teams have only won one game out of the four games they have played so far.
Jos Buttler-led England has lost against New Zealand, Afghanistan, and South Africa, while Sri Lanka also lost against Pakistan, South Africa, and Australia. However, the English set-up looks dominant against Sri Lanka, whereas Sri Lanka, which got their first win against the Netherlands in their last match, will be looking to continue the winning momentum in the ODI World Cup 2023.

ENG vs SL: Pitch Report
The Bengaluru pitch has been widely known as a batting pitch, and in its first World Cup match, it lived up to expectations, where Australia thrashed Pakistan by posting a massive total. However, on this pitch, a score between 380 and 400 runs is also not safe due to the small boundaries. Notably, the most likely winning side will be the one that bats the ball exceptionally well on this ground.
ENG vs SL: Weather Report
The stadium looks to possess an atmosphere that makes it ideal for cricket matches. Notably, it will be approximately 30 degrees Celsius. However, there is 65% humidity. In addition, there is not much wind—roughly 10 km/h. Rain is not likely to happen. Meanwhile, the game can go on due to the wonderful weather.
