SL vs OMA Live, T20 World Cup 2026: Sri Lanka beat Oman by 105 runs

A job well done by the Sri Lankan team as they beat Oman by 105 runs. Pathirana finishes the last over the match. Oman get to 120/9 in their 20 overs.

Mohammad Nadeem has a fifty here in 52 deliveries. He has also become the oldest to score a fifty in the T20 World Cup.

Wellalage has his first wicket as he removes Shah Faisal for 1. Just one runs comes from the over. Win will come soon for SL.

4 overs done for Theekshana and he ends with wonderful fligures of 2/11. The economy rate was only 2.75.

Kusal Medis gets an over and he picks up a wicket straighway. He gets Nadeem for 2. And there is a run out on the last ball of the over. Sufyan Mehmood falls now.

Jiten is out stupmed on the very first delivery. Hemantha has his first wicket for the day. Formalities remain in the match.

Excellent bowling performance by the spinner here as he gets his second now. He has removed Wasim for 27. Caught behind. Oh wait, there is a run out on the last delivery.

Wasim and Nadeem have been scoring some runs together. Two sixes come in Hemantha's over. The finish line is still far.

There is a change in bowling again and Dasun Shanaka comes into the attack. He comes up with a clean over. Sri Lanka clearly ahead.

Chameera has his second wicket here. He gets rid of Hammad Mirza as the latter is caught by Kamil Misshara. Powerplay done.

Oman is not winning this match for sure. But for now it is about their survival, as to how far can they go in this innings. 5 overs done.

Pacer Pathirana comes up with a clean first over here. Just four runs conceded including a wide. Oman lagging behind in the chase.

Theekshana comes and he has wicket already. He has removed Aamir Kaleem, LBW. This is not looking good for Oman.

Oman too have a positive start as they get two boundaries. But Chameera is in a hurry, as he gets Jatinder in the very first over. The skipper is castled where the ball just kisses his off stump.

Finally the torment ends for the Oman side. They have conceded 225 runs. And they have been batted out of the contest. Kamindu Mendis ends the innings with two sixes. Only a miracle can save them.

The skipper has scored a fifty in only 19 deliveries, and that happens to be the fastest ever by a Sri Lankan. Well, done. Runs coming easy.

Shanaka alone scores 19 runs in the over. This is excellent acceleration by the Lankans and the score looks more than enough for Oman.

A good 39-ball fifty for Kusal Mendis here. This is his 4th in T20 World Cups, and now Sri Lanka need to accelerate.

Drinks break! 🫗

Pavan Rathnayake's gone, bowled by Jiten Ramanandi for 60(28). Tried to be too cute with a paddle shot, and it didn't pay off. Sri Lanka 145/3, a solid platform for the middle order to get going. Dasun Shanaka, the skipper, is the new batter in. Can he continue the run rate going?

SL: 137/3 after 13.4 overs; Kusal Mendis 48* off 37

Pavan Rathnayake's on fire 🔥!

He's smashed 19 runs off the last over, including a hat-trick of boundaries, to reach a blazing 50 off 24 balls. Sri Lanka's cruising at 133/2 in 13 overs. Rathnayake's counter-attacking knock is taking the game away from the opposition. This innings has blown Oman away.

Sri Lanka have reached 96/2 at the halfway stage of their innings, with Kusal Mendis (33 off 27) and Pavan Rathnayake (34 off 28) leading the charge. Boundaries continue to flow for the hosts as Oman struggle to find their 3rd wicket

Despite a wicket coming in the final over of the powerplay, Sri Lanka managed to make 16 runs in the over, taking them to 58/2 at the end of the powerplay. A good start for Sri Lanka despite losing 2 wickets

Pathum Nissanka is trapped for an LBW and has to depart after scoring 13 runs as Oman get their 2nd wicket. A successful review for OMA as ball tracking shows the delivery going on to hit the stumps. Sufyan strikes in his very first ball

Mishara is the first batter to depart and he has to walk back after scoring just 8 runs as Jay Odedra traps the batter for an LBW. Sri Lanka have lost an early wicket and it is the breakthrough that Oman were looking for

Pathum Nissanka and Mishara have started on a strong note against Oman, with 9 runs coming from the first over. Oman will be eyeing an early breakthrough. Not the ideal start for them.

Oman have made two changes after their poor loss to Zimbabwe in the opening game.

Sri Lanka cannot take things lightly as both Australia and Zimbabwe look in great form in this T20 World cup.

🪙 Oman won the toss and elect to bowl first

Sri Lanka have been put in to bat first yet again in Pallekele, which is expected to be a much more batting friendly ground as compared to the two stadiums in Colombo. 

Hello and welcome to the live coveage of the Sri lanka vs Oman T20 World Cup 2026 fixture that starts at 11:00 AM IST from Pallekele.
