T20 World Cup: Jos Buttler hundred helps England conquer Sri Lanka, dew to move closer to semi-final berth

T20 World Cup 2021: England came up with another clinical show as they rode on Jos Buttler's historic hundred in Sharjah to beat Sri Lanka by 26 runs and put one foot into the semi-final of the showpiece event.

England are laying down markers with each and every game they are winning at T20 World Cup 2021. After hammering arch-rivals Australia in a one-sided match in Dubai, England showed teams losing the toss and setting a total in the UAE can also win matches.

England rode on a spectacular hundred from Jos Buttler and a fine fielding performance to overcome Sri Lanka and the dew at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium on Monday. England clinched a 26-run defeat after posting 163/4 on the board and bowling out Sri Lanka for 137 in 19 overs.
