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

Rachin Ravindra to Pavan Rathnayake, out Stumped!! Again Rachin Ravindra with that wide line and he gets Pavan Rathnayake the same way as Kusal Mendis. Throws it up well wide outside off, Rathnayake comes down the track and is not to the pitch of the ball, miles from it, tries to reach and drive, the turn takes it away from the bat and Tim Seifert again with a sharp piece of work. Gets the ball and this is an easy stumping as Rathnayake was way down the pitch. Two in the over for New Zealand and they are bossing Sri Lanka here.
