In the opening T20I of the 2026 series at the Pallekele International Cricket Stadium, Sam Curran became only the second Englishman to record a T20I hat-trick, following Chris Jordan’s feat in 2024. Despite an expensive start to his spell, the left-arm seamer produced a match-turning performance in the 16th over by dismissing Dasun Shanaka, Maheesh Theekshana, and Matheesha Pathirana with consecutive deliveries. Curran's triple strike collapsed the Sri Lankan lower order, helping to restrict the hosts to 133 all out. Combined with a disciplined 3-19 from Adil Rashid and a fluent 46 from Phil Salt, Curran's contribution ensured England secured an 11-run victory via the Duckworth-Lewis-Stern method as rain interrupted the chase, giving the visitors a 1-0 lead in the three-match series. Adil Rashid's Three-fer, Sam Curran's Hat-trick Hand England Win Against Sri Lanka in T20I Series Opener.
