Australia vs Sri Lanka, 30th Match, Group B, ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2026 - Player Highlights

Hemantha to Travis Head, out Caught by Kamindu Mendis!! Big celebration from Hemantha as he breaks the partnership. Sri Lanka desperately needed that. He switches to over the wicket, slants it wide of off and makes Head reach for the big hit. It's off the bottom of the bat and the catch is taken at long-off. On a shorter ground, that might've gone all the way despite not being off the middle. Travis Head c Kamindu Mendis b Hemantha 56(29) [4s-7 6s-3]
