England have secured a convincing 2-0 series victory over Sri Lanka after defeating the hosts by six wickets in the second Twenty20 international, wrapping up the short format series with authority.
Clinical England Prove Too Strong
The tourists put in a dominant all-round display to chase down Sri Lanka's total with six wickets in hand, leaving the home side with little to celebrate as the series concluded in England's favour.
The result means Sri Lanka were unable to claim a single win across the two-match T20 series, with England maintaining the upper hand throughout the contest and demonstrating why they remain one of the most formidable white-ball sides in world cricket.
Tough Lessons for Sri Lanka
The series defeat will serve as a sobering reminder for Sri Lanka's T20 setup of the gap that still exists between themselves and the top-ranked nations in the shortest format of the game.
Sri Lanka's batters and bowlers will need to regroup and reflect on where things went wrong across both matches, as the national side looks to rebuild confidence ahead of upcoming international commitments.
England, meanwhile, will depart in high spirits, having completed a clean sweep and reinforced their credentials as a powerful force in T20 cricket on the international stage.

Batting totally collapsed again. Same story every time.
When was the last time we actually beat England in T20s?
Shameful la. Two series losses in a row now. No pride at all.
Dont blame players only, selection is the real problem.
