'Ugly' England aim to spin their way to T20 World Cup semi-finals
England bowled out Sri Lanka for 95 on Sunday to open their Super Eights campaign with a 51-run win.
With Pakistan and Zimbabwe's clash on Saturday being washed out, a win against Pakistan on Tuesday at the same stadium will be enough to see the 2010 and 2022 T20 World Cup champions into the last four.
England again stuttered with the bat and were restricted to 146-9 by Sri Lanka on Sunday.
"We know that we can play a lot better," all-rounder Liam Dawson told reporters after the win, in comments only made public on Monday.
