Phil Salt scored a half-century as England posted a competitive 146 batting first on a dry wicket. The hosts Sri Lanka were never in the contest after a top order collapse, slipping to 95 All Out.
Chasing 146 to win, Sri Lanka lost half their side in the powerplay. It was the first instance of a team losing 5 wickets in the powerplay in T20 World Cup history. From there, only Dasun Shanaka looked like getting a score as the hosts for brutally swatted aside for an embarrassing loss.
