The second T20I match between Sri Lanka and England introduced a peculiar and distressing situation when Charith Asalanka became a target for crowd harassment. A Sri Lanka support staff member brought water to Asalanka while he was fielding at the boundary rope. The crowd started shouting at that moment. "He couldn't even score 2 runs. Don't give him any water."

Fans began to debate the incident because they believed the left-hander received excessive criticism during his difficult time period. What Happened in the SL vs ENG 2nd T20I Sri Lanka established a challenging target of 189 runs by losing 5 wickets during their complete 20-over match against England. Asalanka batted down the order and scored 28 runs from 22 deliveries, which included four boundaries. His knock brought Sri Lanka closer to 190 runs, yet it failed to convince the audience present in the stadium. Rain later interrupted England’s chase, reducing it to 17 overs, with a revised target of 168. England secured their victory through the DLS method by six wickets, which allowed them to establish an unassailable series advantage. Sri Lanka’s bowlers failed to protect their total despite strong contributions from Pathum Nissanka, Kamil Mishara, Kusal Mendis and Pavan Rathnayake.
