5th ODI: All-round England Beat Sri Lanka to Clinch Series 3-0
Jul 03, 201611:27 AM
Joe Root (93) and Jos Buttler (70) scored the runs for England as the hosts scored 324 batting first in an inconsequential match in Cardiff. In reply, Sri Lanka never looked threatening losing wickets at regular intervals to fall for 202.
In the process, England beat Sri Lanka by 122 runs and wrapped up the series 3-0.
Root top-scored with 93 as England made 324 for seven. Together with man-of-the-match Buttler, who made a typically rapid 70, he put on 109 for the fifth wicket.
That gave England a convincing 3-0 series win, with one tie and one no result.
