PALLEKELE, Sri Lanka (AP) — Leg spinner Adil Rashid took a career-best four wickets and captain Eoin Morgan scored an unbeaten 58 to lift England to a seven-wicket win over Sri Lanka in the third one-day international Wednesday as the visitors took a 2-0 lead in the five-match series.
England won the toss and elected to field in a match reduced to 21 over per side because of rain at Pallekele. Sri Lanka made 150-9 in its 21 overs with Niroshan Dickwella top scoring with 36.
Adil Rashid returned 4-36 in five overs while Tom Curran had 3-17 off four overs.
England reached their target for three wickets and nine deliveries remaining. Morgan made 58 not out off 49 deliveries including seven boundaries while Jason Roy made 41.
