Lions triumph in Northampton
Posted by: | CommentsA champion performance from Leicestershire’s James Taylor has handed the England Lions victory in their third tour match against Sir Lanka A, today. The result is especially important for the Lions, given that the side were trounced in their previous match with Sri Lanka A, at the weekend, losing by a 10-wicket margin.
The Lions began the one-day international series with a huge win over the visitors, at the end of last week. The youngster, Taylor, scored his first century as England captain in the game, from just under 120 balls. The Lions eventually put 310 up the Sri Lankans, with Joe Root and Jonny Bairstow contributing a half-ton each.
However, overconfidence, complacency, or just plain bad luck saw the Lions sink to a humiliating defeat in the second match at New Road, Worchester. Sri Lankan bowler, Seekkuge Prasanna, overwhelmed the England batsmen with a career-defining performance. The Lions lost five wickets in ten overs, before succumbing to defeat with 196 balls left to play. Those following the cricket betting tips would have been surprised by the size of the defeat.
Despite being soundly beaten, Lions all-rounder, Chris Woakes, was convinced that the squad could ‘turn the tide’ in the final match, and claim the tour series for the home team. Woakes’ confidence was rewarded, at Wantage Road, today, when Taylor claimed his second 100 in three games, to topple Sri Lanka A. Anyone following the Michael Vaughan cricket betting tips will be keeping an eye on Taylor’s progress.
The visitors won the toss, and put England in to bat. The Lions claimed 282 for 9 wickets, including 73 from Ben Stokes and 29 from James Harris. Sri Lanka’s innings was rather more sedate; three players were taken for ducks, as the South Asian team tried and failed to match England’s tally. Sri Lanka were all-out for 147, after just 29 overs.
