UPDATE: The ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026 Super 8 fixture between England and Sri Lanka took place on February 22, 2026, at the Pallekele International Cricket Stadium in Kandy. In a clinical defensive display, England secured a commanding 51-run victory. After being put into bat, England reached 146/9, anchored by Phil Salt’s gritty 62 off 40 balls.
