3:00 AM ET Big Picture How have Sri Lanka performed in this World Cup? It’s not a straightforward question to answer. They had won just 12 out 53 completed ODIs between the start of 2017 and the start of this World Cup, and were led in the tournament by someone who had last played an ODI in the last World Cup.
