Liam Dawson praised England's batting "freaks" after their impressive T20 series victory against Sri Lanka. England secured a commanding six-wicket win in Cardiff with 7.5 overs to spare, clinching a 2-0 lead in the three-match series. This victory follows a dominant 4-0 series win over India earlier in the summer and marks England's success in 22 of their last 25 matches in T20 cricket.

Key performances included:

• Harry Brook scoring 114 not out from 49 balls in the first match at Southampton.
• Tom Banton contributing an unbeaten 52 off 24 deliveries to seal the win in Cardiff, following Jos Buttler’s milestone of becoming the first player to reach 15,000 runs in T20 cricket.

Dawson highlighted the team's depth and talent, stating, "We’ve got some freaks in our teams and it’s been brilliant to be involved with." He emphasized the versatility of Banton, who adapted well to batting in the middle order, showcasing his world-class abilities.

Buttler, who scored 30 off 16 balls in the latest match, was recognized by Dawson as "England’s best-ever white-ball player" and an essential presence in the dressing room.

Despite a promising start from Sri Lanka, who reached 56 without loss during the powerplay, wickets fell quickly after Dawson took two wickets in successive deliveries. He finished with impressive figures of three for 32 in his four overs, demonstrating his skill on a spin-unfriendly pitch.

Dawson concluded with a commitment to maintaining their momentum:

We want to try and win as many games as we can.
