Sri Lanka vs England 1st T20I – Match Result
Updated：England won by 11 runs (DLS method).
| Sri Lanka | England |
| 133(16.2) | 125/4(15) |
England edged Sri Lanka by 11 runs via DLS in a rain-shortened 17-over opener at Pallekele, with Sam Curran stealing the show through a dramatic hat-trick. After Sri Lanka raced to 75 for 1, Adil Rashid and Liam Dawson triggered a collapse, and Curran finished it by removing Shanaka, Theekshana and Pathirana in successive balls. England’s chase was steadied by Phil Salt’s 46 and a brisk cameo from Tom Banton after early wickets. With rain ending play early, England were comfortably ahead of the revised target, sealing a hard-fought series opener.
