      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;England and Sri Lanka will look to boost their world cup campaigns by getting their second win in the tournament when they face off on Thursday.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The match will be played in the Chinnaswamy Stadium in Begaluru and will begin at 1:30 pm.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Sri Lanka’s lone win came against Netherlands while England have only defeated Bangladesh.&lt;/p&gt;
