England’s Spin Trio Dismantle Sri Lanka in 51-Run Super Eights Triumph

By IANS News February 23, 2026 • 08:04 AM View: 179

England produced a clinical all-round display to crush Sri Lanka by 51 runs in their ICC Men’s T20 World Cup Super Eights clash, bundling out the hosts for just 95 runs in 16.4 overs after posting 146/9 in a gripping encounter.

Defending a modest total on a bowler-friendly surface, England’s spinners turned the contest into a one-sided affair with a relentless middle-overs squeeze that left Sri Lanka gasping. The chase never recovered from a dramatic powerplay collapse as the hosts slumped to 34/5, their second-lowest powerplay score in this edition among full member sides.
