U-19 Cricket Tourney
Sri Lanka meet England today


A high-flying Sri Lanka will open their campaign in the tri-nation under-19 one-day cricket tournament against England today.

The second match of the competition will be held at the Fatullah Cricket Stadium.

Sri Lanka join the tournament after finishing runners-up in the recently concluded Afro-Asian U-19 cricket in India. A battered England on the other hand will seek a vastly improved performance after six straight defeats in Bangladesh including a five-wicket thrashing by the hosts in the opening match at BKSP on Wednesday. The English youth suffered five defeats in the warm-up series against Bangladesh High Performance Squad.
