England thrash Sri Lanka again to return to top of T20 rankings
England returned to the summit of the T20 world rankings with another thumping of Sri Lanka to complete a 3-0 series whitewash in Manchester on Saturday.
The hosts made quick work of an eight-wicket win at Old Trafford, following equally emphatic 119-run and six-wicket successes earlier this week in Southampton and Cardiff respectively.
England's latest victory was all but assured after Sri Lanka were dismissed for just 124, with two wickets apiece for Sonny Baker, Jofra Archer and spinner Will Jacks.
The home side then cruised to their meagre target in under 10 overs, with Jos Buttler 62 not out after sharing a partnership of 85 with captain Harry Brook as Stephen Fleming, the new England Test coach, looked on.
England now boast a record of 23 wins from their last 26 T20 internationals.
That put them back ahead of India at the top of the T20 standings, with the pair having traded the number one position three times in the past two months.
Sri Lanka will hope for an improved performance when they face England in the first of three one-day internationals at Chester-le-Street on Tuesday.
