SL vs IRE Match Review & Analysis | ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026 Match 6 | Sri Lanka vs Ireland

Sri Lanka posted a competitive total of 163/6 against Ireland in Match 6 of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026 at the R. Premadasa Stadium, Colombo, thanks to a composed knock from Kusal Mendis and a momentum-shifting cameo by Kamindu Mendis.

After Ireland won the toss and chose to bowl first, Sri Lanka had a steady start with Pathum Nissanka and Kamil Mishara before Mark Adair struck early to remove Mishara. Kusal Mendis then anchored the innings, ensuring stability through the powerplay. However, Ireland clawed their way back into the contest as George Dockrell removed Nissanka and Rathnayake in quick succession, leaving Sri Lanka struggling at 87/4 in the 14th over.

With wickets falling at one end, Kusal Mendis held firm while Kamindu Mendis injected urgency into the innings. His aggressive approach lifted the scoring rate and pushed Sri Lanka beyond the 150-run mark. Kusal Mendis remained unbeaten on 56 off 43 balls, guiding the hosts to a strong finish.

This sixth match of the tournament shaped up as an early statement game in Group B. Sri Lanka looked to assert dominance at home through disciplined batting and spin control, while Ireland aimed to stay in the contest by building pressure and capitalizing on middle-over opportunities. Matches like these often prove decisive in group-stage qualification, where net run rate and momentum matter as much as points.
