SL vs ENG 2nd T20I LIVE Score: The stage is set under the Pallekele lights as Sri Lanka face a must-win clash to avoid an early series defeat against a confident England side. Following a disappointing chase in the opener, where batting collapses against spin and Sam Curran’s late hat-trick sealed their fate, the hosts needed a collective effort, starting with a solid powerplay from Pathum Nissanka and Kusal Mendis, and fireworks from their finishers. England, riding high on momentum, will look to exploit any early wickets and post a daunting total.
