Sri Lanka Under-19s celebrate after dismissing Sam Curran for 25 in the ICC Under-19 World Cup quarter-final against England in Mirpur yesterday.

Avishka Fernando hit 95 off 96 balls after Wanidu Hasanranga grabbed three wickets as Sri Lanka entered the semi-finals of the ICC U19 Cricket World Cup 2016 with an impressive six-wicket win over England in Mirpur on Sunday.

In an excellent all-round performance, Sri Lanka dismissed the strong England batting for 184 and then surpassed the modest target in the 36th over.
