England vs Sri Lanka Chance of Winning
England did not have a great start to 2024 but have managed to turn things around as they have won four back to back Test matches at home and would be hoping to continue their winning momentum when they take on Sri Lanka in the second test. With Mark Wood ruled out for the next two games, Josh Hull has been called up for the remaining matches.
Sri Lanka’s barren run against England continued in the last game as their top order failed to deliver and it ended up being an easy win for the host. Sri Lanka haven’t won a game against England since 2014 and things look bleak this time around. As per our calculations, England are favourites in the upcoming game.
- England’ chances of winning - 86%
- Sri Lanka’ chances of winning - 14%

England vs Sri Lanka Prediction & Betting Tips 2024
Ollie Pope struggled to make an impact in the last game as he failed to reach the double digit mark in both innings. That doesn’t change the fact he has been pretty consistent for England this year and has scored 566 runs thus far which makes us believe he would score well in the upcoming game.
Dhananjaya de Silva has had a solid season thus far in Tests. So far this year, he has scored 367 runs in seven innings with an average of 52.43 which is pretty impressive. He scored a brilliant half century in the first innings which makes us believe he will score well in the upcoming game.

England vs Sri Lanka Betting Odds
England to have a better opening partnership than Sri Lanka
Sri Lanka and England go head to head in what seems like a one sided game as the difference in quality between the two sides was pretty evident in the last game. Sri Lanka top order failed to show up in both innings which put them on back foot from the start. England openers haven’t been consistent throughout the year but they still managed to have a better opening stand in the last game. We expect Sri Lanka openers to struggle with the new ball, we believe England would have a better opening partnership in the upcoming game and it's a great opportunity to make quick financial gains.
