    T20 WC: Pathirana Suffers Suspected Hamstring Injury During SL Vs AUS Clash

    Pallekele International Cricket Stadium: Sri Lanka suffered a major injury setback during their Group B encounter against Australia in the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026, as young fast bowler Matheesha Pathirana was forced off the field with what appeared to be a serious hamstring injury at the Pallekele International Cricket Stadium.

    The incident occurred early in Australia’s innings when Pathirana pulled up midway through his opening over. After delivering the fourth ball, the 23-year-old suddenly clutched his left hamstring and fell to the turf in visible discomfort.

    Medical staff quickly attended to him, but the situation appeared concerning as he struggled to stand and eventually had to be helped off the field, unable to walk on his own. His over was completed by Sri Lankan captain Dasun Shanaka, underlining the abrupt nature of the injury and its potential severity.
