Sri Lanka‘s legendary wicketkeeper batter Kumar Sangakara has predicted the score of the 2023 Ashes. It is worth noting that Australia are currently leading the five match series (2-1) against England. However, the England team are likely to level the scores as they are in a strong position in the ongoing Fourth Test at Manchester’s Old Trafford.

“With the ball, it’s been a long time since I’ve seen the Australians so perplexed on the pitch. Not knowing what to do, which fields to set and then bowling completely different from the set fields. It really hit them,” Sangakara said.
“If England win this test, they are going to win the Ashes 3-2. If this goes England’s right way, three days before the next Test, the memories and scars will remain. England have recognized when they are ahead and they have accelerated and taken the game away. he added.
