New Zealand vs Sri Lanka, 46th Match, Super 8 Group 2 (Y2 v Y4), ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2026 - Player Highlights

Maheesh Theekshana to Finn Allen, out Caught&Bowled!! That is one way to make amends. Maheesh Theekshana takes a fine catch, throws the ball towards the umpire and then hits the turf in what appears to be a slight bit of disappointment from that drop catch in the last over. Well, he can put that behind him for now. It was a carrom ball on the stumps, Allen went deep inside the crease to stay leg-side of the delivery and ended up chipping it tamely back to the bowler. It went low to the left of Theekshana and he claimed it with both hands inches above the turf. Finn Allen c and b Maheesh Theekshana 23(13) [4s-3 6s-1]
