England Crush Sri Lanka with Explosive Batting Masterclass at Ageas Bowl
England wrapped up the three-match series in style, clinching a 2–1 series victory after crushing Sri Lanka by 80 runs in the final T10 at the Ageas Bowl. The hosts delivered a batting masterclass, piling up a massive 162/2 in 10 overs, powered by a stunning knock from Dawid Malan, whose explosive 70 off 27 balls* earned him the Man of the Match award. Harry Brook added to the carnage with a blazing 46 off 14*, while Jos Buttler and Jonny Bairstow set the tone with a fiery start. Sri Lanka began their chase aggressively through Kusal Mendis and Dinesh Chandimal, but England’s disciplined bowling unit — led by Chris Woakes (3 wickets), along with Sam Curran, Ben Stokes, and Jofra Archer — dismantled the innings, bundling them out for 82 in 9.5 overs. With a commanding all-round performance, England not only won the match convincingly but also secured the series triumph, reaffirming their dominance in the format.
