SL vs ENG Match Prediction: After losing the opening ODI match, England have won three matches in a row on this tour: two ODIs, which sealed the series, followed by a victory in the 1st T20I.
Adil Rashid’s 3/19 and Sam Curran’s hat-trick helped England restrict the hosts to 133 in a 17-over-per-side rain-curtailed fixture. Then Phil Salt’s 45 (35) and Tom Banton’s 29 (15) starred in England’s successful chase.
With England leading this three-T20I rubber by 1-0, the series is on the line in the 2nd T20I on Sunday.
Sri Lanka vs England team news:
Jofra Archer, who was initially not named in the squad, featured in the first T20I and is expected to play in the second T20I as well. England are likely to stick with their winning XI.
Sri Lanka, though, perhaps are not sure of their best XI, and some changes can be rung in for the 2nd T20I. Chameera and Wellalage could be in line for a return to the side.
