Both these players played half-centuries against the Kiwi bowlers. Buttler scored 73 while Alex Hales scored 52 runs for their team. However, after a good start, the team's middle order flopped. 

Star all-rounder Ben Stokes has not been in form in the entire tournament so far and Moeen Ali, David Malan, and Harry Brooks have also not scored.

The bowlers of the English team have done well as Chris Woakes and Sam Curran took 2 wickets each in the last match. 

Mark Wood and Ben Stokes also took a wicket each and contributed to their team with the bowl. Sam Curran has been the top wicket-taker of the England team in the tournament as the left-handed all-rounder has taken 9 wickets.

Sri Lanka will also take the field in front of the England team after the victory over Afghanistan by 6 wickets in their previous match. 

Dhananjay de Silva scored an unbeaten 66 in this match, but the team's batsmen have failed to perform consistently. Kusal Mendis is Sri Lanka's top run scorer in the tournament with 205 runs in 7 matches.
