T20 WC: Rathnayake, Mendis And Shanaka Star As Sri Lanka Post 225/5 Against Oman

By IANS News February 12, 2026 • 12:56 PM View: 223

Pallekele International Cricket Stadium: Sri Lanka unleashed a commanding batting performance to pile up 225/5 against Oman, riding on explosive half-centuries from Pavan Rathnayake, Kusal Mendis and captain Dasun Shanaka, in their Group B encounter of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup at the Pallekele International Cricket Stadium on Thursday.

The hosts began briskly after being put in, with Kamil Mishara striking two early boundaries off Shah Faisal. However, Jay Odedra provided Oman an early breakthrough, bowling Mishara for eight with one that skidded through.

Pathum Nissanka and Kusal Mendis rebuilt steadily, but Oman struck again in the sixth over when Sufyan Mehmood trapped Nissanka lbw for 13 following a successful review, leaving Sri Lanka at 58/2 at the end of the powerplay.
