International cricket tour
The
Sri Lanka national cricket team
toured England from 8 May to 5 July 2016 for a three-match
Test
series, a five-match
One Day International
(ODI) series and a one-off
Twenty20 International
(T20I) against the
England cricket team
. England won the Test series 2?0, the ODI series 3?0 and won the one-off T20I match by 8 wickets.
They also played two
first-class
matches against
Essex
and
Leicestershire
prior to the Test series, and two ODI matches against
Ireland
prior to the ODI series.
[1]
The two first-class matches were both drawn and Sri Lanka won the ODI series against Ireland 2?0.
In April 2016, the
ECB
made a proposal that the series uses a
points-based scoring system
across all three formats, with both teams agreeing to the idea in principle.
[2]
[3]
The following month, the points system was named
Super Series
and approved for this series and
England's series against Pakistan
.
[4]
Four points were awarded for winning a Test match and two points for wins in ODIs or T20Is matches. No overall trophy was awarded, but there was a prize of £25,000, to be split amongst the players.
[4]
England won the Super Series 20?4.
