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

Adam Zampa to Pavan Rathnayake, FOUR, Pavan Rathnayake ends things. It's tossed up full outside off, he shuffles across and sweeps so flat, to the vacant deep backward square-leg fence and Australia have been decimated in this chase. Wild scenes in Kandy as Sri Lanka win with two overs to spare. Sri Lanka are now into the Super Eights

Nathan Ellis to Pavan Rathnayake, 1 run, full and right up there on off, Pavan Rathnayake stays back and drills it to long-on

Glenn Maxwell to Pavan Rathnayake, FOUR, tiny inside-edge and Josh Inglis can't catch it. Pavan Rathnayake comes down the track and this is released like a carrom-ball. Slides in, the tiny inside-edge takes it wide of leg-stump and beyond Inglis' gloves. Runs away fine. Glenn Maxwell looks so disappointed

Glenn Maxwell to Pavan Rathnayake, no run, the third ump feels some part of the foot was behind the line. Touch and go that. This is a tossed up delivery outside off, slides straight on, Pavan Rathnayake gets forward to drive and misses. The back foot is on the line and was there something behind the line? The third ump feels so. He takes a couple of looks and goes in favor of the batter. That was well-bowled, as Glenn Maxwell tried something different

Glenn Maxwell to Pavan Rathnayake, FOUR, such a flat hit. It's full and across Pavan Rathnayake outside off, he shuffles across and goes down on one knee, the flat slogsweep and it skims away one bounce over the ropes at deep mid-wicket. Hit that so hard

Glenn Maxwell to Pavan Rathnayake, no run, round-arm, full and across Pavan Rathnayake outside off, swatted back to Glenn Maxwell, who fumbles but they don't risk a quick single

Glenn Maxwell to Pavan Rathnayake, 1 run, good length and flat outside off, Pavan Rathnayake goes on the back foot and cuts to sweeper cover

Marcus Stoinis to Pavan Rathnayake, 1 run, short of length on middle, Pavan Rathnayake goes on the back foot and flicks to deep backward square-leg

Marcus Stoinis to Pavan Rathnayake, FOUR, slower-ball and the off-cutter full outside off, Pavan Rathnayake gets forward and lofts over mid-off, didn't hit it as well as he would've liked to, but clears the fielder. The bat turned in the hand when he hit that

Adam Zampa to Pavan Rathnayake, 1 run, slower and good length just outside off, Pavan Rathnayake goes on the back foot and punches it down to long-on

Adam Zampa to Pavan Rathnayake, no run, Pavan Rathnayake comes down the track and takes it on the full, drives it straight to the fielder at cover, missed out there

Marcus Stoinis to Pavan Rathnayake, no run, short of length and extra bounce outside off, Pavan Rathnayake slashes and misses. Marcus Stoinis has a go at the batter, then sees no response from him, turns around and has a smile at the ump as he chews gum. Full swag from the Western Australian turned Victorian

Marcus Stoinis to Pavan Rathnayake, no run, short of length and tight on off, Pavan Rathnayake goes on the back foot and makes room slightly to punch to backward point, straight to the fielder

Marcus Stoinis to Pavan Rathnayake, FOUR, consecutive fours. A short of length delivery outside off, Pavan Rathnayake goes on the back foot to cut late, the thick outside-edge flies where there are no slips, runs fine for four to the third man fence

Marcus Stoinis to Pavan Rathnayake, FOUR, one-handed four. Full on off, Pavan Rathnayake gets forward to drive and it's aerial, but well wide of cover and no chance for sweeper cover to his right. That was top timing despite the bottom-hand coming off
