England crush Sri Lanka to top T20 world rankings

England wrapped up a 3-0 sweep against Sri Lanka at Old Trafford, reclaiming the world's top T20 ranking from India in the process. 5 overs, largely undone by a disciplined seam attack in which Jamie Overton yielded a mere 15 runs alongside one wicket across his four overs.

Sonny Baker claimed 2-17, Jofra Archer rebounded from a tough start to take 2-23, and Will Jacks collected 2-31, while Pathum Nissanka and Kamindu Mendis offered the only sustained resistance with 36 and 35 runs respectively.

4 overs, securing an eight-wicket win with 62 deliveries to spare—their largest winning margin by balls remaining on home turf. Jos Buttler powered the pursuit with an unbeaten 62 off 32 deliveries, combining with Harry Brook (33) in an 85-run partnership to register the national side's 23rd win in 26 completed matches under Brook's leadership.
