England has claimed the world's top T20 ranking, leapfrogging India, after completing a whitewash against Sri Lanka. The decisive victory, an eight-wicket win with more than 10 overs to spare, was sealed by Jos Buttler with a one-handed six at Old Trafford.
This win marks captain Harry Brook's 23rd in 26 completed matches since he took the helm. The team's dominance was evident throughout the match, with strong performances in both bowling and batting.
Bowler Sonny Baker impressed with two wickets for 17 runs from 3.5 overs, while Jamie Overton delivered a miserly four overs for one wicket and 15 runs. With the bat, Buttler reached his fifty off 30 balls before finishing the match in style. Sri Lanka's efforts included seven sixes but were ultimately hampered by two run-outs and a freakish hit wicket.
