Dream11 fantasy XI tips and guide for the 3rd T20I of the Sri Lanka vs England T20I series 2026 between SL vs ENG to be played in Pallekele.
Despite poor pitches, England have managed to outplay Sri Lanka in the first two T20Is and sealed the series. Tom Banton scored his third T20I fifty to take his team over the line in the second game. For England, only Jacob Bethell has looked below par in two games.
But apart from him, all other English players have made significant contributions. Sri Lanka have had some good performances, but they have failed to maintain the momentum.
Now, they are on the verge of facing a series of whitewashes, just a few days before the ICC T20 World Cup 2026. The final game will commence on January 3 at Pallekele International Cricket Stadium at 7 PM IST.
