Why it matters: This is the opening fixture of the ICC Women's T20 World Cup at Edgbaston, with Sri Lanka's decision to bowl first handing England the chance to set a target. Having lost no wickets after 1.3 overs and with most of their batting order still to come, England are in a position to build a substantial total from this early platform.
