    T20 WC: All Stats From England’s 51-run Win Over Sri Lanka In Super 8s

    T20 World Cup: England delivered a dominant all-round performance to defeat Sri Lanka by 51 runs in their Super Eights clash of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup in Colombo, successfully defending 146/9 by bowling out the hosts for just 95 in 16.4 overs.

    England’s victory was built on a clinical spin display after their batters were restricted earlier. Phil Salt anchored the innings with a composed 62 off 40 balls, but regular wickets prevented England from fully capitalising. Sri Lanka’s spinners, led by Dunith Wellalage (3-26) and Maheesh Theekshana (2-21), ensured England finished with a below-par total on a bowler-friendly surface.

    However, England’s bowlers turned the match decisively in their favour during Sri Lanka’s chase. Jofra Archer struck early, while Will Jacks delivered a game-changing spell, claiming 3-22 and becoming the first England spinner to take three wickets in the powerplay of a T20I. His dismissals, including key batter Kusal Mendis, left Sri Lanka reeling at 34/5.
