T20 WC: Kamindu, Kusal, Theekshana, Hasaranga Help Sri Lanka Beat Ireland By 20 Runs (ld)
T20 World Cup: Spin twins Maheesh Theekshana and Wanindu Hasaranga picked three wickets apiece as Sri Lanka defeated Ireland by 20 runs in a Group B clash of the 2026 Men’s T20 World Cup at the R Premadasa Stadium on Sunday.
Batting first, Sri Lanka were struggling at 87/4, including not hitting a single boundary in the middle overs, before Kamindu Mendis’s blazing 44 off just 19 balls and Kusal Mendis’s unbeaten 56 off 43 lifted them to an above-par 163/6.
Chasing 164, Ireland looked well placed at 105/2, with Harry Tector set for the final assault alongside a struggling Lorcan Tucker. But both fell in quick succession, and the chase unravelled from there, as Ireland were eventually bowled out for 143 in 19.5 overs. Theekshana returned with 3-23 in his four overs while Hasaranga, battling discomfort in his hamstring, produced a trademark spell of 3-25. It was far from a convincing win, but Sri Lanka pocketed two crucial points, tightening their grip early on in Group B.
