Sri Lanka vs Pakistan, 1st T20I, Pakistan tour of Sri Lanka, 2026 - Player Highlights

Shadab Khan to Kusal Mendis, out Lbw!! That looked dead in real time. But the ball did spin and was just clipping off-stump. So Sri Lanka don't lose a review. Premeditated sweep from Mendis, he was into the shot early and the flighted delivery sneaks under his bat, strikes him on the back thigh right in front of the stumps. The impact was not a problem and the only question was if the ball was spinning. Since the length was too full, umpire Chamara De Zoysa thought it would be hitting the stumps.
