The idiom you are looking for is "Bait and Switch". It means showing something desirable to lure people in and then giving them something less desirable. For example, a store might advertise a sale on a popular item but when you get there, the item is out of stock and they try to sell you something else instead¹.

"Promising an apple and delivering an orange."

This idiom implies that someone was led to expect one thing but received something entirely different. Just like in the Sinhala idiom, where the groom expects the younger sister but ends up with the elder sister, the English idiom conveys a similar sense of disappointment or deception.
