England vs Sri Lanka Head to Head in T20I Cricket
England and Sri Lanka have played 18 T20 International matches against each other, the first in 2006 and the latest on 22 February 2026. England have won 14 and Sri Lanka 4. England lead by 10. England's highest total against Sri Lanka is 190 and Sri Lanka's is 189. Their lowest completed totals are 128 and 91. Every result is in the table above, with the venue and the margin. Updated 9 September, 2026.
Sri Lanka won the first meeting, at the Rose Bowl on 15 June 2006, by two runs. England have controlled the fixture ever since and have not lost to Sri Lanka in the format since the 2010s, which makes this one of the more lopsided long-running T20I records between two full members.
The heaviest scoring came in the same match at Chattogram during the 2014 World T20, England 190 for 4 and Sri Lanka 189 for 4 in reply, five runs short. Sri Lanka matched that 189 at Kandy in February 2026, again on the losing side.
Both of England's most significant wins have come at World Cups - by 26 runs at Sharjah in 2021, and by four wickets at the SCG in November 2022, a match they had to win to reach the semi-finals of a tournament they went on to win. They also swept the four-match series in Sri Lanka in early 2026 and won again at Kandy in the World Cup that followed.
