Sri Lankan cricket team in England and Ireland in 2016
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.
