England A’s winter ended with a whimper, as they
crashed out of the triangular tournament after a crushing
114-run defeat to Pakistan A at Moratuwa. While Ian Bell’s side
head home, Sri Lanka A will now face Pakistan A in the final on
Tuesday, but they will face a stern test: Pakistan have won all
four of their group matches.
