LNP – Sri Lanka qualifies to ICC T20 World Cup Super 12

Sri Lanka booked their place in the Super 12 stage of the 2021 T20 World Cup after completing a comfortable 70-run victory over Ireland in Abu Dhabi.

Wanindu Hasaranga and Pathum Nissanka hit half-centuries to help Sri Lanka post 171 for seven, after early setbacks.

Andy Balbirnie top-scored for Ireland, scoring 41 off 39 balls, but his side were no match for Maheesh Theekshana (3 for 17), Lahiru Kumara (2 for 22), Hasaranga (1 for 12) and wicketkeeper Kusal Perera.
