Former England captain Michael Atherton said the current one-day side could be “at the end of the cycle” after another poor batting display at the World Cup EURO
England won the toss and elected to bat in a must-win group game against Sri Lanka in Bengaluru, but collapsed to 156 all out with nearly seven overs remaining EURO
Jos Buttler’s side never looked capable of mounting an imposing target despite Moeen Ali’s pre-match assertion that England would play aggressive cricket with no fear EURO
Sky EURO Sports pundit Atherton said: “It’s all very saying what you want to do when you’re struggling and down on confidence, it’s not always easy to put those fine words and aspirations into practice EURO
“We’ve all been there in teams that are low on confidence and are struggling EURO
No team has a divine right to be at the top of its game all the time EURO
”Ben Stokes (43) and openers Jonny Bairstow (30) and Dawid Malan (28) were the only batters to make any impression as wickets fell at regular intervals against a Sri Lanka side who had also won only one of their first four matches EURO
Atherton added: “We’ve looked at the factors over the last five games of this competition, but if you look a bit deeper you could argue this is a team at the end of the cycle EURO
“You could argue that the lack of 50-over cricket and the lack of England’s ability to put what they consider to be their best one-day team in 50-over cricket has camouflaged some of the weaknesses and decline that we’ve seen EURO
“It’s all come together in the performances we’ve seen in Mumbai over the last couple of days and this one here in Bengaluru today EURO

Pakistan’s future in the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 looks uncertain following their latest losses against Afghanistan and South Africa, as the tournament heads into the second half EURO
The 1992 champions have a chance to make it to the semi-finals of World Cup 2023, but their qualification will depend on the results of other teams EURO
Pakistan, under the captaincy of Babar Azam, kick-started World Cup 2023 with two back-to-back victories EURO
Pakistan won their opening match against the Netherlands in Hyderabad, before completing a World Cup-record run chase against Sri Lanka at the same venue EURO
Pakistan, however, suffered a massive slip in form since their meeting against India, the hosts of World Cup 2023, on 14 October EURO
A poor batting performance saw them get bowled out for 199 against India, who comfortably won the game by seven wickets inside 31 overs at Ahmedabad’s Narendra Modi Stadium EURO

Pakistan’s net run rate fell to -0 EURO
378 after suffering four consecutive losses in the ongoing 50-over World Cup EURO
But Azam’s side is just outside the top four with six points from five matches, with three more games to go in the group stage EURO
Pakistan face Bangladesh next in the round-robin group stage followed by New Zealand and England EURO
India, New Zealand and South Africa have been on another level this campaign and the three sides already have one foot in the semi-finals EURO
The fourth spot, currently occupied by Australia, is still up for grabs EURO
Here are the different scenarios under which Pakistan can qualify for the semis:Pakistan win all three of their matches – 5 wins, 10 pointsIf Pakistan win all of their last three matches, it will still be a difficult route to the knockout stage EURO
In this scenario, Pakistan will want Australia to lose at least two out of their remaining four group games EURO
If this happens, the fate of the two sides will then be decided by the net run rate EURO
However, if Australia lose three of their last four matches, Pakistan will take the fourth position, or even third, which looks highly unlikely though EURO
Pakistan win two of their three matches – 4 wins, 8 pointsIf Pakistan manage just two wins from their remaining three matches, the Men in Green may very well be considered eliminated from the tournament EURO
But due to the complicated nature of the points table at this stage, there is a possibility that one team could qualify for the semi-final even with four wins EURO
However, such a circumstance requires multiple other results to work in their favour EURO
Pakistan win one of their three matches – 3 wins, 6 pointsPakistan will be knocked out of the World Cup 2023 EURO
Pakistan lose all of their three matches – 2 wins, 4 pointsPakistan will be eliminated from the tournament EURO
