England is aiming to secure a T20 series victory against Sri Lanka. After winning the first match by 11 runs on Friday, with Sam Curran taking a hat-trick, they now lead 1-0 in the three-match series. The second match is underway at Pallekele, with England having won the toss and chosen to bowl. A win would clinch the series.

Off-field issues continue to swirl around the England camp, including a controversy involving Harry Brook. However, their on-field performance has improved, bouncing back after a 2-1 ODI series win. Securing this T20 series win would be a positive step before the T20 World Cup, where their first game is against Nepal.

The final T20 international is scheduled for Tuesday. With the T20 World Cup approaching, England will want to build momentum. Sky Sports will provide full coverage of the World Cup, beginning on February 7th, with England's first match on February 8th.

This series provides a crucial opportunity for England to fine-tune their strategies and assess their squad before the T20 World Cup. Victory would boost morale and confidence, setting a positive tone before the tournament. Fans will be eager to see how the team performs under pressure.
