England won the series by winning the second match of the three-match ODI series between England and Sri Lanka. The English team won both the matches by a huge margin and won the second match by 8 wickets to take an unassailable 2-0 lead in the series.

Before this series, the Indian team was at the top in terms of losing the most ODI matches, but after losing two consecutive matches, the Sri Lankan team has come on top. Sri Lanka lost the 428th match against England and thus Sri Lanka became the country to lose the most matches in ODI cricket.
At the same time, if we talk about the team that played the most One Day International matches, then this record is in the name of India, which has played 993 matches so far. At the same time, the Australian team is at number two, which has played 955 matches so far, but the Kangaroo team has lost only 333 matches so far.
