SL vs ENG 2nd ODI: Playing XI, Head-to-Head, Pitch Report & Live Streaming Details | Sri Lanka vs England 2026

The second game of the three-match ODI series between England Men’s Cricket Team and Sri Lanka Men’s Cricket Team will be played on January 24, 2026, at R. Premadasa Stadium in Colombo. It’s going to be an interesting game between both teams as they are currently struggling in white-ball cricket.

However, England will be playing with their core squad, and they are likely to dominate Sri Lanka, but the spinners are going to ask tough questions of the English Batters. Harry Brook will be leading England in this series, and a lot of things are at stake for Brook in this series as he has to find the perfect combinations and get his form back before the T20 World Cup 2026.

​On the other hand, Sri Lanka will be playing on their home soil, and it will be a big advantage for them. It will be a good practice series for both teams before the T20 World Cup 2026, as the tournament will be held in India and Sri Lanka. Therefore, England and Sri Lanka will get used to the conditions.
