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

Dockrell to Nissanka, out Caught by Stirling!! The partnership has been broken. A lot slower through the air outside off, Nissanka slaps it hard towards cover, and Stirling stationed there takes a sharp catch to his left. Nissanka walks back after playing a rusty knock. The spinners are not allowing the batters score freely. The pressure was mounting due to the dip in the run rate and both the openers - are not back in the pavilion.
