They registered a run win at the R. Premadasa Stadium, Colombo on Sunday. Asked to bat, Sri Lanka piled up 163 for six, and then ended Ireland\u2019s innings on 143. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Sri Lanka had a poor start to their innings as their openers Pathum Nissanka (24) and Kamil Mishara (14) got caught up at the crease. Kusal Mendis (56) started slow but paced up brilliantly towards the end. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">At one stage Sri Lanka were struggling at 86 for four, but it was Kamindu Mendis (44), who provided much-needed momentum to the Sri Lanka innings. He added 67 runs with Mendis as their partnership took Sri Lanka to a fighting total of 163 for six.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\"\/>Sri Lanka start T20 World Cup 2026 with a win<\/h2>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Ireland, in the chase, lost captain Paul Stirling early. But, Ross Adair (34) kept the run rate in check as he played some brilliant shots before Wanindu Hasaranga had his number. After that, Harry Tector (40) held fort in Ireland and along with Lorcan Tucker (2) brought his team back in the game. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">However, Sri Lanka spinners then made fun of the batters and picked wickets in a flash. They ended Ireland\u2019s innings on 143, winning the game by 20 runs. Maheesh Theekshana and Matheesha Pathirana bagged three wickets each.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">T20 World Cup 2026 points table after match 6, SL vs IRE<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/img.icccricketschedule.com\/uploads\/images\/202602\/screenshot-2026-02-08-at-110705pm_1200x_638349.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/img.icccricketschedule.com\/uploads\/images\/202602\/screenshot-2026-02-08-at-110727pm_1200x_7aa8fc.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/img.icccricketschedule.com\/uploads\/images\/202602\/screenshot-2026-02-08-at-110748pm_1200x_97e571.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><\/p>\n<p>  <!-- In-Content Ad -->  <!-- Twitter Embed Section (from twitter_link field) -->  <!-- FAQ Section (with FAQ Schema) -->   <!-- Tags \/ Discover More - Moved above Author Box -->  <!-- Author Box - E-E-A-T Section --> <\/p>\n<section class=\"author-box astro-qib6gt2h\" itemscope=\"\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Person\">\n<div class=\"author-box-inner astro-qib6gt2h\"> <!-- Author Avatar --> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.icccricketschedule.com\/author\/mohit\/\" class=\"author-avatar-link astro-qib6gt2h\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.icccricketschedule.com\/images\/default-avatar.svg\" width=\"80\" height=\"80\" class=\"author-avatar astro-qib6gt2h\" alt=\"Mohit Tiwari\" loading=\"lazy\" itemprop=\"image\"\/> <\/a> <!-- Author Info --> <\/p>\n<div class=\"author-details astro-qib6gt2h\">  <!-- Credentials Badges --> <\/p>\n<p> <span class=\"credential-badge astro-qib6gt2h\"> <strong class=\"astro-qib6gt2h\">10+<\/strong> Articles<br \/>\n<\/span> <span class=\"credential-badge astro-qib6gt2h\"> <strong class=\"astro-qib6gt2h\">6+<\/strong> Years Writing<br \/>\n<\/span> <span class=\"credential-badge astro-qib6gt2h\"><br \/>\nSince <strong class=\"astro-qib6gt2h\">2020<\/strong> <\/span> <\/p>\n<p> <!-- Expertise Tags --> <\/p>\n<div class=\"author-expertise astro-qib6gt2h\"> <span class=\"expertise-label astro-qib6gt2h\">Expertise:<\/span> <\/p>\n<p> <span class=\"expertise-tag astro-qib6gt2h\">Cricket News<\/span><span class=\"expertise-tag astro-qib6gt2h\">Match Analysis<\/span><span class=\"expertise-tag astro-qib6gt2h\">Player Updates<\/span> <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p> <!-- Bio --> <\/p>\n<p class=\"author-bio astro-qib6gt2h\" itemprop=\"description\">Mohit Tiwari is team of experienced Author, Editor and News media management.<\/p>\n<p> <!-- Social Links -->  <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/section>\n<p>  <!-- More Stories - Visible on both Desktop and Mobile -->   <!-- Google News Button --> <a href=\"https:\/\/news.google.com\/publications\/CAAqBwgKML2YkQsw3tK-Aw?hl=en-IN&amp;gl=IN&amp;ceid=IN:en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" aria-label=\"Follow us on Google News\" class=\"googleNewsDiv no-underline\"> <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"googlenewsimg\" src=\"https:\/\/www.icccricketschedule.com\/images\/google-news-img.webp\" width=\"120\" height=\"40\" alt=\"Google News\" loading=\"eager\"\/> <\/a> <\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.icccricketschedule.com\/t20-world-cup-2026-points-table-after-match-6-sl-vs-ire\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>T20 World Cup 2026 points table has taken an exciting turn after six games.
