Another good win for England in the third T20 against Sri Lanka. England were restricted to 128 off their 20 overs, but bowled the Lankans out for 116 after they'd been 90-4 off 13. Spinners to the fore, taking 9-75.

Good preparation for the T20 World Cup.
 
1st game of the T20 world cup and nearly the 1st shock. Netherlands started well and were on target for 170-180 but some good bowling by Pakistan limited them to 147.
The run chase started well but some good bowling, poor shot selection and great fielding saw wickets start to fall, 24 runs off the 19th over (which included a dropped catch) meant Pakistan needed 5 runs from the last over.
Pakistan ended up winning by 3 wickets with 3 balls left, its now time for some curling.
 
WI 182-5 from their 20 overs thanks to some devastating hitting (11 6s), a nice 64 off 36 balls from Hetmyer. Scotland need a r/r of 9.15
 
Afghanistan have set NZ a target of 183 to win and according to the commentator NZ have never chased 170 in a T20 World Cup, this could be a fun chase

That’s how you chase 183, well played NZ.
Next up is England is it too early to start drinking ( I find that’s the best way to watch England cricket)?
