In a landmark victory, Sri Lanka's cricket team defeated England by eight wickets in the third Test at The Oval, marking their first win on English soil in a decade. Skipper Dhananjaya de Silva hailed the win as one of the happiest moments of his career.

Pathum Nissanka's century and a strong second-innings bowling effort steered Sri Lanka to the triumph. Although England clinched the three-match series 2-1, the historic win was a significant achievement for the Sri Lankan squad.
