In a high-voltage encounter at Lord’s on November 13, 2025, Sri Lanka pulled off a stunning 4-wicket victory over England in Match 2 of the series. Chasing a target of 90 runs, Sri Lanka showcased both resilience and explosive batting to seal the win with 1.4 overs remaining. The hero of the night was undoubtedly Wanindu Hasaranga, who delivered a breathtaking all-round performance — smashing an unbeaten 52 off just 17 balls at a staggering strike rate of 305.88, and earlier dismantling England’s lineup with 3 wickets for 24 runs in his two overs.

England, batting first, crumbled under Sri Lanka’s fierce bowling attack, being bowled out for 89 runs in 9.5 overs. Despite Harry Brook’s quickfire 24 off 10 balls and Jos Buttler’s 18 off 17, the rest of the batting order failed to build partnerships. Dushmantha Chameera (2/13) and Dhananjaya de Silva (2/12) supported Hasaranga brilliantly, ensuring England never settled.

Sri Lanka’s chase started shakily, losing six wickets for just 34 runs, but Hasaranga’s fearless assault turned the tide. His powerful stroke play, combined with Matheesha Pathirana’s steady support (8* off 8), saw the visitors home at 92/6 in 8.2 overs. England’s bowlers, led by Chris Woakes (2/15) and Ben Stokes (1/13), fought hard but couldn’t stop the Lankan charge.

With this win, Sri Lanka took the momentum in the series, and Hasaranga was rightfully crowned “Man of the Match” for one of the most dominant individual performances in recent memory — a dazzling display of power-hitting and precision bowling that left the English crowd in awe.

In the series decider of the Sri Lanka–West Indies tournament, West Indies produced a commanding performance to claim a seven-wicket victory and win the series 2-1.

Sri Lanka struggled with the bat, managing only 79/9 in their 10 overs. Kusal Mendis (15 off 7) was the only batter to show some fight, while West Indies’ bowlers, led by Obed McCoy (3/18) and Kyle Mayers (2/8), dismantled the batting lineup with accuracy and pace.

Chasing 80, West Indies dominated from the start. Nicholas Pooran starred with an unbeaten 37 off 18 balls, well supported by Rovman Powell (14) and Shimron Hetmyer (5*), ensuring the chase was completed in just 7.1 overs with seven wickets in hand.

With this emphatic win, West Indies sealed the three-match series 2-1.
