Cricket Viral Video: The unthinkable has happened. The defending champions have been knocked out and it is dark for the England cricket team and fans all over the world. It must be one of the most disappointing days in cricket for England.
The English team entered the ICC ODI World Cup 2023 as the main contender for the title. Ironically, they became the first team to get knocked out of it. And Sri Lanka became the unlikely team that knocked them out.
Well, the English team has not been able to defeat the Sri Lankans in the World Cup since 1992. But considering the difference in both teams, it looked like England was sure to win this match. But the Lankans completely dominated the defending champions and knocked them out in style.
Domination of Sri Lanka
While batting first, England was only able to make only 156 runs. It was their lowest total against Sri Lanka in the World Cup. Ben Stokes was the only batsman who showed some fight and scored a spirited 43 runs.
While chasing, Sri Lanka was completely in charge of the match. After losing two wickets early on, Pathum Nissanka and Sadeera Samarawickrama stabilized the innings and carried the Lankans to the finish line.
Both of them scored brilliant and gritty half-centuries and disabled every English attack. The bowlers had no answer against their batting. It was a brilliant effort by both of them that ensured that they would be the ones to stand tall in this do-or-die battle.

Sri Lanka wanted to finish the match early because of the Net Run Rate. That is why the batsmen were attacking anything they could. In the 26th over only 3 runs were needed by Sri Lanka, and Nissanka decided to finish things off in style.
He stepped out and hit Adil Rashid for a six down the ground. A six that will be remembered by the English fans for eternity. After all, this is the six that knocked them out of the ICC ODI World Cup 2023.
