Sri Lanka emerged victorious against England in the T20 World Cup Super 8s match that commenced at 9.30am GMT in Pallekele. The enthusiastic crowd, adorned with parasols, flags, and face paint, celebrated particularly when Sri Lanka's anthem outperformed England's.
Simon, reporting from the scene, has become somewhat of a banana expert during his trip to cover the tournament. The match showcased the passionate cricket culture of Sri Lanka as fans sang along enthusiastically to their national anthem.
