Curran Hat-Trick Seals 11 Run DLS Win for England over Sri Lanka
Sam Curran took three wickets in three balls to trigger a collapse as England won by 11 runs via Duckworth-Lewis in the rain-reduced first T20I of the series.
- On Jan 30, Sam Curran claimed a hat-trick as England men's T20 team beat Sri Lanka men's T20 team by 11 runs under the Duckworth-Lewis method in the rain-marred opening T20I at Pallekele International Cricket Stadium.
- Rain reduced the match to 17 overs per side, with Sri Lanka all out for 133 and England declared winners by the Duckworth-Lewis method at 125-4 in 15 overs.
- Adil Rashid and Liam Dawson ripped Sri Lanka's middle order, while Phil Salt, England opener, top-scored with 46 off 35 and earned Man of the Match.
- England now lead the series 1-0, with the sides meeting again on Sunday and the final match on Tuesday as a tune-up before next week's T20 World Cup.
- Curran's performance also has historical echoes, as his hat-trick adds to a unique record after one in the IPL seven years ago while Sri Lanka collapsed from 129 for six to 133 all out, with Jamie Overton taking the final wicket.
