India vs Sri Lanka ICC Cricket World Cup 2019 match is set to be played on Saturday, July 6 and as the game is about to begin Sri Lanka player Angelo Matthews pointed out a strong reason due to which the Sri Lanka national team could not fix their berth in the semi-finals of CWC 2019. Sri Lanka, with eight points in the points table in eight matches, has been ruled out of World Cup 2019 and will only play their ultimate match in the tournament against India at Headingley Cricket Ground in Leeds today. Sri Lanka vs India Cricket Score 44th ODI Match. 

Disappointed over the lost opportunities during the start of World Cup 2019, the former Sri Lankan skipper said that they lost the race to become a champion due to three first three games which they missed out. "The first three games we missed out entirely and that cost us," the Batting all-rounder was quoted by ICC as saying. However, Matthews also admitted that he loved playing in the ICC Cricket World Cup 2019 tournament. Ready, Action, Cut!
