Speaking of Sri Lanka, their journey in the Super-12 has been topsy-turvy so far. They made a thumping start to their Super-12 campaign, having outclassed Ireland by nine wickets in their opening fixture. However, they lost the second game against the hosts by seven wickets.
With two points in their account, they are placed at the second last spot of the Group 1 points table.
