England captain Harry Brook described the team’s comprehensive victory over Sri Lanka as a special occasion, praising his side’s adaptability and bowling discipline after they successfully defended 145 and bowled the hosts out for just 95 in their ICC Men’s T20 World Cup Super 8s clash at the Pallekele International Cricket Stadium.

“A beautiful birthday present. I thought we played exceptionally there and to get over the line and bowl them out for less than 100 is an awesome effort,” Brook said during the post-match presentation.
