Sri Lanka were bowled out for 124 in 18.5 overs at Old Trafford on September 19. England chased down the target in just 9.4 overs to complete a 3-0 T20I series sweep and reclaim the No. 1 spot in the ICC Men’s T20I Team Rankings. They also extended their winning streak against Sri Lanka in T20Is to 15 matches.
“Been thinking about the Wanindu Hasaranga hit wicket last night. Initially felt like it was just one of those things in cricket, but seems the dismissal has raised more than a few eyebrows.”

Wanindu Hasaranga attempted to swipe a slower, back-of-a-length delivery across the line but missed the ball. His bat continued around his body during the follow-through and struck the leg stump. Archer initially appeared unaware that he had taken a wicket before Hasaranga walked off.

Pathum Nissanka and Sonny Baker Shine as Sri Lanka’s Struggles Continue
Sri Lanka’s seven sixes provided brief moments of aggression, but they failed to turn them into sustained scoring periods. Their 15-run second over was the only over that produced significant momentum during the innings.
Baker was England’s standout bowler, finishing with 2/17 in 3.5 overs and winning the Player of the Match award. He completed the series with six wickets at an economy rate of 3.71, giving England another promising pace option.
