About England v Sri Lanka IT20

An international Twenty20 fixture brings the shortest and loudest format of the sport to a late-September weekend. Weekend scheduling means families and groups travelling together, with music and noise between innings keeping the atmosphere lively throughout. Sri Lanka's aggressive batting style against England's bowling attack should make for a fast-paced contest rather than a cautious one.

Where to stay nearby

Manchester itself sits right by the ground, so it makes the most practical base, with the widest choice of hotels and easy access on match day. Salford is close by too, just a few kilometres out, and offers a smaller but perfectly convenient set of options if you book early. Sheffield is a bit further afield, roughly an hour's drive or train journey, but has a much larger hotel selection if Manchester and Salford are booked up or pricier on the weekend.

Manchester — about 0 km away

Manchester is the obvious base, right on the venue's doorstep with by far the largest hotel selection, plus direct tram and rail links straight to the ground, so you can head back into the city centre for food or a late train home without any hassle.

Salford — about 4 km away

Salford sits just a few kilometres from the ground and has a small but handy set of hotels, making it a good quieter option for those who want to avoid the busiest parts of Manchester while still being a short taxi or tram ride from the venue.

Sheffield — about 52 km away

Sheffield is a genuine outside option only if Manchester and Salford are full, with a large hotel stock but over 50km away, meaning a proper drive or train journey each way and less flexibility around match timings.

About Old Trafford Cricket Ground

Lancashire's historic headquarters and a regular Test and international venue, Old Trafford cricket ground stands a short walk from its footballing namesake in southwest Manchester. Emirates Old Trafford has grown into a modern arena that also hosts occasional stadium concerts. The surrounding area leans residential, but the bars and restaurants of nearby Salford Quays are within easy reach. Metrolink trams stop right by the ground and run into the city centre. A local room turns a long day's cricket into an easy evening.
