SL vs ENG Match Previews
England has won the series by defeating Sri Lanka in the first two T20Is. Tom Banton scored his third T20I half-century in the second match and guided his team to victory. For England, only Jacob Bethell has failed to perform as expected in the two matches.
However, all the other English players have made significant contributions. Sri Lanka has shown glimpses of good performance, but they have failed to maintain that momentum.
With the ICC T20 World Cup 2026 approaching, they are on the verge of a series whitewash. The final match will be played on January 3rd at the Pallekele International Cricket Stadium, starting at 7 PM IST.
ENG vs SL 3rd T20 Pitch Report
The pitch at the Pallekele International Cricket Stadium for the third T20I between England and Sri Lanka is good for batting, offering good bounce initially, but will provide more grip for the spinners later on.
This match is being played on the same pitch as the previous matches, which means it will be slower and offer more grip than the first T20I, benefiting the spinners in the middle overs. The average first-innings score is around 165, and chasing under lights might be easier due to the dew. As seen throughout the series, a total of 160-170 could be competitive.
