Abu Dhabi: Sri Lanka registered a massive 70-run win upon Ireland in a Group A match to meet all requirements for the Super 12 phase of the ICC T20 World Cup on Wednesday.
Sent in to bat, Wanindu Hasaranga (71) and Pathum Nissanka (61) hit shining half-hundreds of years as Sri Lanka recuperated from a top-request breakdown to post a cutthroat 171 for 7.
The former champions then, at that point, doled out a clinical bowling show, driven by Maheesh Theekshana (3/17), to excuse Ireland for 101 in 18.3 overs to guarantee their second progressive success of the competition and top the gathering with four focuses.
Ireland couldn’t get any force during their pursuit and lost wickets in ordinary stretches to ultimately miss the mark concerning the objective.
Andrew Balbirnie’s men will currently need to beat Namibia to make the Super 12s.
Prior, left-arm medium-pacer Josh Little (4/23) got back with his best figures however different bowlers couldn’t support the tension on Sri Lanka players.
