England go top of World Cup table with comfortable Sri Lanka win
They might be underdogs, but they possess two of the world's best.
England were not favourites going into this World Cup, but if captain Nat Sciver-Brunt was fully fit and firing, and if spinner Sophie Ecclestone could exploit turning pitches at her disposal, there was a nagging sense of 'what if?'.
Both hopes have come to fruition after their three opening games, with England sitting top of the table unbeaten and, though there was a near-miss against Bangladesh, it has mostly been smooth sailing.
Yes, the fixtures have been kind to Sciver-Brunt's side, but they are doing all that is in their control, which is to simply keep winning.
