Sri Lanka U19 vs Australia U19, 23rd Match, Group A, ICC Under 19 World Cup 2026 - Highlights

Will Byrom to Kugathas Mathulan, out Caught by Steven Hogan!! Sri Lanka bowled out for just 58! Full around off, he looks to drive and slices it off the outside half to point. Byrom finishes with a five-for and up go the arms in celebration. Kugathas Mathulan c Steven Hogan b Will Byrom 6(13) [4s-1]

Kasey Barton to Kugathas Mathulan, FOUR, cracked through the covers! Full outside off, it's a half-volley and Mathulan drives through the covers while leaning back. Didn't get in a great position but there's a reason he bats at 11

Kasey Barton to Rasith Nimsara, out Caught by Oliver Peake!! Brute of a delivery! Banged in short, climbs sharply at Nimsara and he's in no control as he tries to fend it off. His feet are in the air, his hands are in front of the face and it balloons off the glove to first slip. Barton really enjoyed that one and even gave him a send-off. Reckon he didn't enjoy some of the earlier shots in this over. Rasith Nimsara c Oliver Peake b Kasey Barton 6(14)

Kasey Barton to Rasith Nimsara, 2 runs, back of a length outside off, Nimsara gives the charge and carves it over backward point. Brings up 50 for Sri Lanka

Hayden Schiller to Chamika Heenatigala, out Caught by Alex Lee Young!! Schiller joins the party! Banged in short, gets big on Heenatigala as he looks to pull and he gets a faint top-edge through to the keeper. That's a good grab from Alex Lee Young who had to leap and go full stretch above his head with both hands. Chamika Heenatigala c Alex Lee Young b Hayden Schiller 14(21) [4s-1]

Hayden Schiller to Chamika Heenatigala, FOUR, sounds good and the ball runs away to the fence. Back of a length and with width on offer, Heenatigala stands tall to scythe it to the right of a diving cover-point fielder

Kasey Barton to Sethmika Seneviratne, out Bowled!! Kasey Barton gets his man very next ball. An absolute beaut. Angles in, pitches on a length and nibbles away. Seneviratne plays for the angle as he's half-forward to defend. The ball moves away and beats the outside edge to hit the top of off-stump. Sri Lanka tottering at 39 for 7. Sethmika Seneviratne b Kasey Barton 5(10) [4s-1]

Hayden Schiller to Sethmika Seneviratne, FOUR, full toss, pad-lined and Seneviratne flicks it away through backward square leg

Will Byrom to Aadham Hilmy, out Caught by Alex Lee Young!! Fourth wicket for Byrom! Hard length outside off, may have seamed away a bit, Hilmy wants to have a feel for it. Fiddles his bat at it and nicks off to the keeper. Hilmy hung around, the Australians appealed vociferously and up went the dreaded finger. Aadham Hilmy c Alex Lee Young b Will Byrom 1(5)

Will Byrom to Kavija Gamage, out Caught by Jayden Draper!! Sri Lanka have now lost half their side. On a length and around off, Gamage stays leg-side of the ball and opens the bat-face timidly. A nothing shot and he's steered it to second slip. A straightforward chance and Draper doesn't err. Kavija Gamage c Jayden Draper b Will Byrom 10(11) [4s-1]

Charles Lachmund to Kavija Gamage, FOUR, shot! Short ball, Gamage spots the length early and pulls with authority through wide mid-on

Will Byrom to Vimath Dinsara, out Caught by Oliver Peake!! Edged and taken! Will Byrom gives the batter a send-off. After conceding a boundary, Byrom bowls a full delivery outside off, Dinsara drives with hardly any feet movement. Thick outside edge and Peake takes a tumbling catch to his left at first slip. Vimath Dinsara c Oliver Peake b Will Byrom 7(10) [4s-1]

Will Byrom to Vimath Dinsara, FOUR, first boundary of the innings! Overpitched delivery onto the pads and Dinsara flicks it away behind square on the on-side

Will Byrom to Dulnith Sigera, out Caught by Jayden Draper!! Three down with just three runs on the board. Short outside off, Sigera looks to put it away as he shapes to back-cut. Gets it off the toe-end of the bat and finds Draper at 2nd slip. Sri Lanka under a lot of pressure here. Dulnith Sigera c Jayden Draper b Will Byrom 1(3)

Charles Lachmund to Dimantha Mahavithana, out Caught by Oliver Peake!! Edge and taken! Charles Lachmund has removed both the set batters in the same over. Australia are cock-a-hoop. They want to check if it's a legal delivery and it is. In-angling length ball, holds its line marginally outside off and Mahavithana has a poke at it. Healthy outside edge and it carries to 1st slip. Peake crouches and catches it to his right. Superb start for Australia. Replay shows that it was a cross-seam delivery. Dimantha Mahavithana c Oliver Peake b Charles Lachmund 0(10)

Charles Lachmund to Viran Chamuditha, out Lbw!!m Confident appeal for lbw and up goes umpire Virender Sharma's dreaded finger. Full, quick and angling into the stumps, Chamuditha is beaten for pace and the ball goes past the inside edge as he shapes to flick. The Aussies went up in unison and that would have probably gone on to hit the leg-stump. Viran Chamuditha lbw b Charles Lachmund 1(7)
