Tammy Beaumont was part of England's World Cup-winning side in 2017
Although fixtures against Sri Lanka and Pakistan should be straightforward for England as they look to continue their winning streak, they could prove decisive with back-to-back matches against India and Australia to come.
England thrashed South Africa in what could have been a tricky opener, avoided a scare against Bangladesh and now have a golden opportunity to make sure they go into those games against the pre-tournament favourites unbeaten.
But they will have to contend with more spin-friendly conditions in Colombo on Saturday, with opener Tammy Beaumont saying the nature of the pitches is reducing the gulf between teams.
"Every game in this World Cup is big. Bangladesh played so well against us and Sri Lanka will be a challenge in home conditions," she told BBC Sport.
