England's World Cup Nightmare Continues as Sri Lanka Crushes Defending Champions

TL;DR Summary
England's batting woes continue as they were bowled out for their lowest World Cup total of 156 against Sri Lanka. Former England captain Paul Collingwood and former India head coach Ravi Shastri expressed their disbelief at the team's lack of confidence and direction. The top-order struggled, with poor shot selection and run-outs contributing to their downfall. Ben Stokes was the only bright spot with a gritty 43. Sri Lankan bowlers, particularly Lahiru Kumara, bowled well to restrict England. England will need a strong bowling performance to stay in the semifinal race.
