The winner of that match will play against the NewZealand in Colombo on 29 march
England who already had faced so many problems through their players injuries some how manage to through to quarter finals they lost two matches against the minnows Bangladesh & Ireland but beat South Africa & west indies while they were outstanding in batting against the Indians chasing the target of 339 it was tied
the England cricket team shocked when their slow left arm bowler Micheal Yardy was found in depression & left the team during the tournament ..their all round matches were really very tied and all was full of interest as they qualified for quarters and for qualifying to semi final they should need the complete all round performance in each & every department
their possible squad for match should be
STRAUSS , PRIOR , TROTT , BOPARA , BELL , RIGHT , SWANN , TREDWELL , ANDERSON , MORGAN , BRESNAN .
AS WHERE Srilanka is concern they are truly brilliant in each department they have quality fast bowlers world class spinner comfort batting line up ..But that will win and qualify for semi who will have the brilliant team performance because the cricket is not the game of individual performers every one has to play their part
