Day 16 of the 2015 Cricket World Cup saw three of the game's most illustrious names in action, as the climax of the pool stages of the competition edges ever nearer.
The opening match of the day saw Sri Lanka prolong England’s World Cup misery. Eoin Morgan’s men posted a decent total of 309/6 after winning the toss and batting first in this one, but Sri Lanka rattled off the runs needed with 2.4 overs and nine wickets to spare thanks to unbeaten centuries from Lahiru Thirimanne and Kumar Sangakkara.
In the second game, Pakistan will take on Zimbabwe in Brisbane. Despite their outstanding World Cup pedigree, Pakistan have lost both of their matches at this tournament so far, but they will feel as though they have fair chance of picking up a vital two points against the African outfit.
Here’s the rest of the schedule for the tournament, the updated standings and a closer examination of the best of the action from Day 16 of this engrossing competition.
