PALLEKELE, Sri Lanka, Feb 2, 2026 (BSS/AFP) - England completed a convincing six-wicket win over Sri Lanka in the second T20 international to wrap up the three-match series with a game to spare at Pallekele on Sunday. The series, a warm-up for the upcoming T20 World Cup to be co-hosted by Sri Lanka and India, underlined why England remain among the contenders for the title. We are gearing up well for the World Cup and couldn't have asked anything better from the lads," said England captain Harry Brook. I don't think we finished off well, but we have learned our lessons and we will keep fighting," Sri Lanka skipper Dasun Shanaka said. England had also clinched the ODI series in Colombo last week with a come from behind win.
