Sri Lanka 6 down; England in control

February 22, 2026

SL 64-6 (11 ovs) vs England 146-9 | SCORECARD

Leg-spinner Adil Rashid -- the third spinner for England -- comes into the attack. 

The veteran does well to ramp up the pressure as he concedes just three runs in his first over.

Sri Lanka reeling on 56/6 in 10 overs at the halfway mark, needing another 91 runs from 10 overs for victory.

Their hopes rest on captain Shanaka, who is batting on 11 while Hemantha is on 2. 

In the next over, Shanaka shows some intent as he lofts Dawson straight down the ground for a four.

He keeps strike with a single to midwicket as he clips Dawson in the gap at midwicket.
