England, Sri Lanka’s likely quarter final opponent [March 20 2011]

England is likely to be Sri Lanka’s opponent at the ICC World Cup quarter finals as India is in command against the West Indies in their last qualifying round match now being played in Chennai.

Today’s India-West Indies game will decide whom Sri Lanka would meet at the quarter finals. If India wins today, they will qualify to play defending champions Australia in the quarter finals. With India in command in their last league game now in progress in Chennai, it seems that Sri Lanka would now meet England in next week’s quarter finals of the 14-nation tournament.
