Sri Lanka Thrash Oman by 105 Runs in T20 World Cup

Sri Lanka vs Oman in the T20 World Cup match turns out to be one-sided.

Batting first, Sri Lanka piled up 225 for five in 20 overs, setting the pace from the start. Once the total crossed 150, Oman was already under heavy pressure.

Kusal Mendis struck a steady 61 before Pavan Rathnayake changed the tempo with 60 off 28 balls, including a towering hit over midwicket. Dasun Shanaka then sealed the surge with a 20-ball fifty, launching five sixes to cap the innings.

Oman’s Chase Falls Apart

In a T20 World Cup 2026 Group Stage game, momentum matters. Oman lost it inside two overs.

Jatinder Singh fell early, and Aamir Kaleem followed soon after, leaving Oman’s top order scrambling for stability as wickets continued to fall and the pressure mounted around the ground. 

Mohammad Nadeem attempted to steady the chase with a fighting 53, but the required rate kept rising, and the turning point arrived when Maheesh Theekshana trapped Kaleem lbw, shifting momentum decisively.

From there, the slide gathered pace as Theekshana tightened his grip, conceding just 11 runs in four overs, while Dushmantha Chameera struck twice and the fielders backed it up with sharp work, ensuring Oman never recovered control of the contest.

Statement In The Group Stage
