England returned to the top of the T20 world rankings after completing a 3-0 series sweep of Sri Lanka at Emirates Old Trafford, winning by eight wickets. Harry Brook's 33 off 21 balls and Jos Buttler's unbeaten 62 off 32 propelled England to their 125-run target in 9.4 overs, extending their unbeaten run against Sri Lanka to 15 matches.

Sri Lanka's batting collapse saw them bowled out for just 124 in 18.5 overs, with Sonny Baker (2-17), Jofra Archer (2-23) and Will Jacks (2-31) sharing wickets generously. Pathum Nissanka's 36 off 24 was the only resistance before his dismissal, while Charith Asalanka's 16 off 14 and Kamindu Mendis's 35 off 28 couldn't prevent a disastrous final 10 overs for the visitors.

England captain Harry Brook hailed the achievement as 'amazing', praising players who stepped up, particularly those with limited match experience.
