ENG vs SL Live Cricket Score, T20 World Cup 2026: England face Sri Lanka in the Super 8 match in Pallekele.

ENG vs SL Live Score, England vs Sri Lanka T20 World Cup Live Cricket Score Updates:  Dasun Shanaka fell to Adil Rashid for 30 as Sri Lanka’s resistance was snuffed out by brilliant bowling by England. Will Jacks and Jofra Archer broke the backs of the Sri Lanka batting order as they took 3 and 2 wickets respectively as the Lankans lost 5 wickets before powerplay for just 34. Liam Dawson struck in the 9th over next as Sri Lanka lost their 6th wicket while Dushan Hemantha was dismissed due to hitting the wicket. England have managed to set a target of 147 after an under-par performance from their batters in the Super 8 clash against Sri Lanka in Pallekele on Sunday. Barring Phil Salt, who top scored with 62, none of the England top order managed to get into double figures. At one stage, England were reduced to 68-4 after losing their four Bs, Jos Buttler, Jacob Bethell, Tom Banton and captain Harry Brook at the halfway mark of 10 overs. Sri Lanka had won the toss and asked them to bat first in a game where rain was being predicted, but made no appearance in the first innings.

Harry Brook’s men have had a topsy-turvy ride in the group-stages that captain Harry Brook described as a ‘niggly start’.

England are facing off Sri Lanka for the fourth time in T20Is in three weeks, with Pallekele being the host for all of these meetings. In the lead-up to the World Cup, Brook and Co. had a successful outing in these parts, blanking Sri Lanka 0-3 in the series.

However, a mercurial weather forecast will be in play after Group 2 already had an iffy start with the first game between Pakistan and New Zealand washed out on Saturday. The afternoon game will, however, still test the batters, and England will still be wary of the Lankans. Dasun Shanaka’s men may have also suffered a dent in confidence with a defeat to Zimbabwe in their last game. But Sunday is a new day, and an opportunity to break two streaks at once is on the cards.

Pradeep Nishantha couldn’t find the house. He’d heard about the batting talent of Pathum Nissanka, wanted to draft him for a Colombo school, but the small government-built home—one of many constructed for tsunami victims—was impossible to locate. Eventually, Nishantha made a call. Come to Kalutara Bodiya, the famous temple in the region. That’s where they would meet. The temple wasn’t chosen randomly. That’s where Nissanka’s mother sold flowers to devotees. READ MORE
