England thrashed Sri Lanka by 89 runs in the third and final T20I of the series on Saturday to clean sweep the visitors in the three-match series 3-0. The Sri Lankan team has been performing poorly in the last few series. This trend has not stopped even on the soil of England and the team has suffered a clean sweep by defeating all three matches of the T20 series.
Talking about the third and final T20 match of the series, Sri Lanka won the toss and decided to bowl first and could not stop the hosts from scoring a big total. England scored 180 runs for six wickets in the allotted 20 overs. David Malan (76 runs, 48 balls, five fours, four sixes) scored the most runs for the team while he was supported by Jonny Bairstow (51 runs, 43 balls, five fours, one six).
