T20 World Cup cricket: England to take on Sri Lanka in the Super-12 match in Sharjah this evening

In ICC Men's T20 World Cup cricket, England will take on Sri Lanka in the Super-12 match in Sharjah at 7.30 P.M. this evening.

Earlier, India slumped to their second successive loss in Dubai last night as they were completely outsmarted by New Zealand. Kane Williamson's team wrapped up the match by eight wickets, reaching the victory target of 111 runs in just 14.3 overs.

India's chances of making the semi-finals now hang by a thread as they would have to rely on Afghanistan beating New Zealand and then win their all the remaining matches against the Afghans, Namibia and Scotland by huge margins to somehow try and squeeze into the last four.

In another match, Afghanistan defeated Namibia by 62 runs in Abu Dhabi last evening. Electing to bat, Afghanistan scored 160 runs for the loss of five wickets in the sipulated 20 overs. Chasing the target, Namibia scored only 98 runs for the loss of nine wickets in 20 overs.
