Gone are the days when England were considered as pushovers in the 50-over format as the aggressive approach taken by the team management following their 2015 World Cup debacle has paid dividends under the leadership of Eoin Morgan.

England are the top-ranked team in ODI cricket at the moment and have enjoyed plenty of success across the globe and are one of the favourites for the 2019 World Cup which will be played on their home turf.

Barring the shock loss against Scotland in the one-off ODI against Scotland in June this year, England has enjoyed series' wins over India, Australia (home and away), New Zealand, West Indies, Pakistan, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka in a little over two years' time.

With Sri Lanka's recent struggles, it is hard to imagine the hosts putting up a fight against a team which is pretty much on a rampage.
