Preview

In the 42nd T20 match of the ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2026, England (ENG) is set to face Sri Lanka (SL). In their last fixture, they registered a 42-run win over Italy. England posted an imposing total of 202 runs batting first, before bowling Italy out for 178. Will Jacks led the charge with a dynamic 53 off 22 balls, while Tom Banton and Sam Curran added valuable contributions of 30 and 25 runs, respectively. With the ball, Jamie Overton was particularly effective, claiming three wickets for just 18 runs in his four-over spell.

On the other hand, Sri Lanka did not perform well in their last match against Zimbabwe. After posting a competitive total of 178 runs while batting first, Sri Lanka were unable to defend the target as Zimbabwe chased it down comfortably in 19.3 overs, securing a six-wicket victory. Despite the defeat, Pathum Nissanka impressed with a good knock of 62 off 41 deliveries, while Ravan Rathnayake contributed with 44 from 25 balls. In the bowling department, Dushman Hemanth did well and took 2 for 36 in his four overs.
