England vs Sri Lanka, 42nd Match, Super 8 Group 2 (Y1 v Y4), ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2026 - Player Highlights

Dunith Wellalage to Phil Salt, out Caught by Dushan Hemantha!! Salt knew he was a goner. The moment the ball left the bat, Salt crouched and put all his weight onto the bat, almost anticipating the inevitable. He looked tired over the last 3-4 overs and this was waiting to happen? A loose shot. Dropped short alright, but Salt didn't generate ample timing and power on the slap. Got more height than distance and picked out the man at long-off. A superb knock nonetheless.
