    Sri Lanka’s hopes of reaching the 2026 Men’s T20 World Cup semi-finals ended with a crushing 61-run defeat to New Zealand at the R Premadasa Stadium, with captain Dasun Shanaka admitting their performance was ‘very embarrassing’ in front of home fans.

    After New Zealand made 168/7 in 20 overs, as Sri Lanka lost the plot by conceding 70 runs in the last four overs, the tournament co-hosts never looked to chase down the total. With the visitors spinners, led by Rachin Ravindra’s 4-27, bowling an astonishing 17 overs, Sri Lanka ended up making 107/8 in 20 overs and make an exit from the competition.
