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

Humphreys to Kamindu Mendis, FOUR, finishes the over with another boundary! 21 off it! Humphreys goes full this time and Kamindu drills it down the ground to beat long-on to his right

Humphreys to Kamindu Mendis, FOUR, momentum changing over, just what Sri Lanka needed! Another boundary. Flat at the stumps and Kamindu swats it through square leg

Humphreys to Kamindu Mendis, SIX, another chance goes down and to make it worse for Ireland, it goes for six too! What is going on? Full in the slot, Kamindu hammers it down the ground, the straight boundary is very long here and Dockrell had the chance to grab it with both hands. He was close to the ropes which he must've had in the back of his mind, but you see these catches taken so often these days. He makes a mess of it

Humphreys to Kusal Mendis, 3 runs, scooped in the air, McCarthy runs back from short fine but doesn't get a hand to it! Another misjudgement? Hard to say. It's fired in on a good length, Kusal steps across to scoop and Humphreys has given him enough pace to work with. But he miscues it in the air and it's just out of McCarthy's reach

Humphreys to Kusal Mendis, 2 runs, flat and slightly short outside off, Kusal cuts hard through extra cover, races back for two

Humphreys to Kusal Mendis, 2 runs, horrible misjudgement from Campher and the catch goes down! He charged in too hard and overran it. Juicy full toss, Mendis dances down, looks to slog and skies it off the edge. Campher had some ground to cover to his right from long-off but not as much as he thought he did. Came charging across, overran it and didn't even get a hand

Humphreys to Kamindu Mendis, 2 runs, exceptional from Adair in the deep! Pushed through flat on a good length, Kamindu generates remarkable power off the back foot to hammer it down the ground. Seemed like a certain boundary but Adair came sprinting across from long-off before throwing himself to his left. Reaches out with both hands and flicks it back

Humphreys to Kamindu Mendis, 2 runs, flat and wide outside off, Mendis fetches it and swats it through the gap at midwicket. Pushes hard and comes back for two

Humphreys to Kusal Mendis, 1 run, tries going inside-out over extra cover but slices it in the air. Came off the outside half. Sweeper cuts it off and keeps them to one

Humphreys to Kamindu Mendis, 1 run, 90kph, flat length ball turning into the stumps, Kamindu Mendis tucks it through midwicket

Humphreys to Nissanka, 1 run, quicker through the air and on the fuller side, Nissanka drives it towards wide mid-off for one

Humphreys to Kamil Mishara, no run, hint of drift on this back of a length delivery, Kamil Mishara guides it back to the bowler

Humphreys to Nissanka, 1 run, drifting on the pads, Nissanka flicks it through mid-wicket for a single. Has been a good start by Humphreys. Can he finish off the last two balls on a good note?

Humphreys to Nissanka, no run, quicker through the air again, Nissanka plays it late, steering it towards backward point

Humphreys to Nissanka, no run, quicker through the air outside off, skids along the deck, Nissanka goes for a cut and misses
