Sri Lanka vs Zimbabwe, 38th Match, Group B, ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2026 - Player Highlights

Brad Evans to Dushan Hemantha, out Caught by Ryan Burl!! Two in two for Evans and it's the slower ball that does the trick once again. Was another off-cutter, full and in the slot - Hemantha stayed leg-sided and then hoisted it high towards long-on - no timing on the shot and Burl has a simple catch in the deep. Good end to an expensive over form Evans. Dushan Hemantha c Ryan Burl b Brad Evans 0(1)

Brad Evans to Pavan Rathnayake, out Caught by Graeme Cremer!! The slower ball does the trick, but Rathnayake has played an absolute blinder here - was the back of the hand slower off-cutter, Rathnayake had backed away and he has no pace to play the dab over the off-side - picks out Cremer at short third man, a reverse-cupped catch from the leg-spinner.
