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.

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.

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.

Marvan Atapattu was named player of the tournament for his 356 run contribution to the victorious Sri Lankan side.
