It is England vs Sri Lanka in the Super 8 stage of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026. Although Sri Lanka did not enter the tournament as favourites, their dominant victory against Australia has certainly raised fans’ expectations that they can go deeper in the tournament, especially given their home advantage. However, this dominance took a major blow after losing their final group stage match against Zimbabwe, who beat them convincingly by six wickets.

The English are not without problems. They haven’t won matches very convincingly – even against associate nations – and they even lost a relatively subdued chase against the West Indies after a good start.
In the Sri Lankan camp, opener Pathum Nissanka enjoys a purple patch and will be key to their hopes. Their bowling line-up, however, needs some attention, especially after Wanindu Hasaranga’s injury. Mahesh Theekshana, the other experienced spinner, was also unable to lead from the front – he made 47 runs against Zimbabwe at an economy of 13.4.
England arguably have the strongest squad. They have the big names, as well as the depth, with almost everyone participating at some point in the tournament. They will also be confident ahead of Pallekele, having won all three T20Is at this venue against Sri Lanka in a bilateral series just three weeks ago.
