| Sri Lanka | Ireland |
| 163/6 | 143(19.5) |
Sri Lanka did not have everything their own way in their World Cup opener, but disciplined spin bowling ensured they stayed in control when it mattered. Ireland applied pressure through the middle overs, yet Sri Lanka’s spinners kept things tight, broke partnerships, and prevented the chase from gaining momentum. On a surface offering grip and turn, that control proved decisive and allowed the hosts to protect a total that never quite felt comfortable.

Kamindu Mendis produced the kind of high-impact innings Sri Lanka have long searched for in the lower middle order. Walking in during a stagnant phase, he injected urgency with a fearless 44 off 19 balls, flipping the tempo late. Creative, powerful, and calm, his knock not only lifted Sri Lanka past a par score but also hinted that he may have found his natural T20 role at last.
A power-packed knock from Kamindu Mendis set the platform for Sri Lanka’s victory 👏
