DELHI: Courtesy to Buttler’s brilliance, England post a sizable target of 171/4 against Sri Lanka in the Super-10 (Group-1) round match of ICC WT20 2016 at Feroz Shah Kotla Stadium, Delhi.
Mathews preferred to bowl first after winning the toss and just got the start he would have wanted.
His premier bowler Rangana Herath removed Alex Hales on just 4 in his first over, but Roy and Root gave it a cushion to take the score to 65 in 11th over, when Root (25) left the crease.
Buttler joined Roy in, and the pair ket scoring runs when Roy (42) too left the crease on the total of 88.
Morgan started where Roy had left it and score 18 valuable runs in 16th over.
This was when momentum had changed totally to England’s favour. Buttler and Morgan began to score runs at a brisk pace and from 110/3 in 15, took the score to 165 in 19.5 and with Stokes’ last ball SIXER, ended at 171/4.
