T20 World Cup 2026 Points Table After Super 8 Match 2, ENG vs SL

England defeated Sri Lanka by 51 runs in their first Super 8 match of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026. With this victory, England has occupied first spot in the latest T20 World Cup 2026 Group 2 Points Table with 2 points and an impressive Net Run Rate of +2.550. Will Jacks was the player of the match as he took three crucial wickets and also scored 21 runs with the bat.

​Sri Lanka National Cricket Team slips to the bottom of the T2- World Cup 2026 Group 2 Points Table with 0 points, but they still have two more matches left in the tournament to bounce back. Skipper Dasun Shanka tried to play a match-winning inning but was able to score only 30 runs in 24 balls, and he was the only batter from the Sri Lankan side to score 20+ runs.

While batting first, England had a decent start. Phil Salt was hitting boundaries while others were losing their wickets. Salt played a fantastic knock of 62 runs and led England to have a defendable total of 146 runs against Sri Lanka. Sri Lankan bowlers did a fantastic job, and except Salt, no other English batters were able to dominate them.

However, the pitch at Pallekele was good for bowlers, especially for spinners and England perfectly utilised the conditions and Sri Lanka got all out by scoring just 95 runs in 16.4 overs. Sri Lanka batters were struggling against Will Jacks and Jofra Archer, and they perfectly used the conditions and led their team to victory.
