Sri Lanka vs Ireland, 6th Match, Group B, ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2026 - Player Highlights

McCarthy to Kamindu Mendis, out Caught by Dockrell!! Finally the procession of drop catches comes to an end. Dockrell hangs onto a sitter and Kamindu's belligerent knock is over. Again he backs away and again McCarthy does well to follow him, not giving him the room to free the arms. It's a low full toss on the pads and Kamindu chips it in the air to mid-off where Dockrell takes it with the reverse-cup. Kamindu Mendis c Dockrell b McCarthy 44(19) [4s-4 6s-2]
