On Monday, England scored 163 in 20 overs and then restricted Sri Lanka to 137 to register their fourth win in the tournament.
Jos Buttler smashed his maiden ton to defeat Sri Lanka by 26 runs in the Super 12 match of the T20 World Cup at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium.
In order to win the match, Sri Lanka needed 34 from the final three overs, However, they lost their last five wickets for eight runs.
England has now won all its four matches in the Super 12 stage and they are all but set to qualify for the semi-finals.
The England wicketkeeper-batter Buttler revealed that Despite his side’s victory in the game, his side was under pressure in the second innings. He hailed the bowling attack in ensuring the Three Lions walk away with a victory.
“I think the staying patient was the key (when England lost early wickets), but I managed to get a partnership with Morgan. I found it really tough early on in the innings. There was a point when we were thinking of gey to the 120-run mark, but then we got going and got 160-plus. I use the same bat, even in the nets. It feels good,” said Buttler.
