The caravan of the 2019 West Indies U19 Tri-nation series is starting to approach its business end and the seventh game will see England lock horns with Sri Lanka in what is a pretty important game for the former. Having won their opening two games, Sri Lanka U19 have dominated the proceedings thus far and is at the top of the table. England, on the other hand, has had a mixed tournament so far, having won two and lost two. 

Their last defeat came against Sri Lanka after they failed to chase down 143. They, however, redeemed themselves with a five-wicket win over the hosts West Indies U19 and will hope to avenge the defeat that they suffered at the hands of the island nation, early-on in the tournament.
