Sri Lanka captured their fifth multilateral ODI title since their 1996 World Cup triumph — and their first major win in England — thanks to a record-breaking spell from Muttiah Muralitharan and a dominant batting performance led by Marvan Atapattu. 🔥 Match Highlights: 🧙♂️ Muralitharan’s magic: 5 for 34 – the best ODI figures at Lord’s at the time 💔 England collapse: From 132/0 to 256 all out — losing 8 wickets for 124 💪 Knight & Atherton: Opened with a stand of 132, only to see the middle order unravel 🚀 Gough’s early strike: Bowled Jayasuriya for a duck in dramatic fashion 🧠 Sri Lanka’s control: Smart bowling, tight fielding, and composed batting sealed the win 📉 England’s bowling lacked bite (aside from Gough), and their fielding was ragged, as Sri Lanka chased down the target comfortably with Atapattu in sublime touch. 📈 This was also a historic first ODI success at Lord’s for Muralitharan, foreshadowing his future dominance on English soil. 💬 What did you think of Murali’s spell? Is this one of the best Lord’s performances in ODIs?
