England smashed Sri Lanka at Old Trafford, chasing 125 in just 62 balls to win 8 wickets.
The turning point came when Jos Buttler hammered 62 off 32, with Harry Brook’s 33 ensuring the hosts were 126‑2 in 9.4 overs.
Sri Lanka’s bowlers sputtered, conceding nine wides and failing to contain either Nissanka’s 36 off 24 or Mendis’ 35 off 28. England’s Jacks, Archer and Baker each snagged two wickets, ending the chase.
Brook, the highest run‑scorer, was named Player of the Series, while Sri Lanka’s skipper Charith Asalanka admitted the team’s performance was a major disappointment, citing gaps in both batting and bowling.
With the win, England re‑claims the top spot in the T20 rankings and will next face Sri Lanka in a three‑ODI series starting at Durham’s Chester‑Le Street on Tuesday.
