Sri Lanka National Cricket Team vs England National Cricket Team Live Streaming and TV Telecast Details:  England will look to clinch the SL vs ENG 2026 three-match T20 International series today as they face Sri Lanka in the second fixture at the Pallekele International Cricket Stadium. Following an 11-run victory (via the DLS method) in a rain-interrupted opener on Friday, Harry Brook’s side enters the contest with a 1-0 lead and significant momentum ahead of the upcoming T20 World Cup.  Sam Curran Hat-Trick Video: Watch England Bowler Pick 3 in 3 Against Sri Lanka in T20I Series Opener.

For the hosts, led by Dasun Shanaka, this match is a vital opportunity to level the series and address recent inconsistencies. Sri Lanka struggled in the first match, posting 133 before a Sam Curran hat-trick and clinical bowling from Adil Rashid stifled their progress. With the World Cup co-hosted by India and Sri Lanka beginning next week, the Lankan Lions are under pressure to fine-tune their middle-order batting.

England, meanwhile, appears settled. Despite the absence of opener Ben Duckett due to a finger injury, the form of Phil Salt and the successful return of Jofra Archer have bolstered the visitors. A win today would secure another series victory for England on this tour, following their 2-1 triumph in the ODI leg last month.
