Moeen Ali said on Wednesday “everything is a must-win now” as faltering defending champions England face a ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup day of reckoning.
England tackle Sri Lanka in Bengaluru today knowing that a fourth defeat in five games will shatter any realistic hopes of sneaking into the quarter-finals.
“We know we’ve been in this position before although probably not to this degree, but we know everything is a must-win,” said Moeen.
“We have to get our confidence and perform well and bat and bowl and field better than we have done so far in this tournament.”
England’s lone win came against equally hapless Bangladesh.
