ODI World Cup: England’s title defence blown after 8-wicket loss to Sri Lanka

England's batting performance in their crucial ODI World Cup match against Sri Lanka was a major disappointment, leaving the crowd feeling like they were enduring a tedious novel. Their lack of intent and coherence resulted in a swift eight-wicket defeat, jeopardizing their chances of reaching the semifinals.
