The Emirates Triangular Tournament was a One-day International cricket tri-series involving touring nations Sri Lanka and South Africa against each other and hosts England, in the 1998 international season which was seen as a prelude for the 1999 Cricket World Cup also hosted by England. Sri Lanka won the tournament by defeating England in the final, thanks to an unbeaten 132 by player of the tournament Marvan Atapattu.
These matches were the first official One-day Internationals played in England in coloured clothing, with England wearing light blue, South Africa in green and Sri Lanka in dark blue.
P = Games played
W = Games won
L = Games lost
NR = Games with no result
T = Games tied
NRR = Net run rate
Won = 2 points
Lost = 0 points
Tie or No result = 1 point
Standard net run rate rules applied.
The deciding factors, in order, on table position were:
Because England and Sri Lanka had the best run rates, they were ranked as the top two teams. England beat Sri Lanka and finished top of the group. South Africa's run rate meant they missed out on the final, despite having beaten England, and that a better run rate than Sri Lanka would have put them top of the table.
Marvan Atapattu was named player of the tournament for his 356 run contribution to the victorious Sri Lankan side.
