As part of the ongoing tour of the England cricket team to Sri Lanka, the 3rd game of the 7 match series took place in Hambantota and saw the visiting team beat the home side by 4 wickets. The venue used for this day / night international was the Mahinda Rajapaksa International Cricket Stadium which is the main cricketing venue in Hambantota. Cricket fans wanting to find Yala hotels within easy reach of this venue to view future matches can consider staying at Saraii Village Sri Lanka.
Having won the toss, Sri Lanka opted to bat first in a game which had overs reduced due to rain, reaching 242 for 8 off 35 overs mainly due to the contributions of Kumar Sangakkara who made 63 and Lahiru Thirimanne who scored 62. Under pressure to register a win, England was able to reach the target due to a spirited sixth wicket stand of 84 runs between Jos Buttler and Joe Root, coming off just 64 balls.
