England completes series sweep over Sri Lanka in T20 cricket and back as No. 1
in the world
MANCHESTER, England (AP) --- England reclaimed top spot in the T20 cricket
world ranking by thrashing Sri Lanka by eight wickets to complete a 3-0 series
sweep in Manchester on Saturday.
After easy wins in Southampton and Cardiff, England made it a hat trick of
victories inside five days.
The Sri Lankans were bowled out for just 124 --- their lowest total in the
series --- and England raced to the target in 9.4 overs, with 62 balls to
spare, thanks to Jos Buttler's unbeaten 62 from 32 balls in a stand of 85 with
captain Harry Brook (33).
England now boasts a record of 23 wins from its last 26 games in the shortest
international format and has moved back ahead of India in the T20 ranking. The
nations have traded the No. 1 position three times in the past two months.
