T20 World Cup: Hasaranga, Theekshana lead Sri Lanka to win over Ireland
Wanindu Hasaranga and Maheesh Theekshana combined for six wickets to lead Sri Lanka to a 20-run victory over Ireland in their ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026 game at the R Premadasa Stadium, Colombo, on Sunday.
Chasing 164, Ireland struggled against Sri Lanka’s spin attack and were bowled out for 143 in 19.5 overs.
The Irish innings began shakily as Maheesh Theekshana struck early, dismissing skipper Paul Stirling for six off 13 balls, which included a four, in the second delivery of the third over.
Ross Adair and Harry Tector then steadied the innings with a crucial partnership, guiding Ireland past the 50-run mark.
However, Wanindu Hasaranga broke the stand, dismissing Adair for 34 off 23 balls, which included five fours and a six, leaving the team at 56-2 in eight overs.
Tector and Lorcan Tucker tried to rebuild, taking the score past 100 with a valuable 50-run partnership. Dunith Wellalage broke the stand, dismissing Tucker for 21 off 18 balls, including two fours, at 105-3 in 14.2 overs.
Tector continued to impress with a fighting 40 off 34 balls, including a four, before Hasaranga removed him, claiming his third wicket of the match.
The spinners then wreaked havoc as Theekshana dismissed Ben Calitz for four and Gareth Delany for a duck in the same over, reducing Ireland to 120-6 in 16.4 overs.
Curtis Campher fell to Hasaranga, while Dushmantha Chameera accounted for Mark Adair, who scored 10.
Matheesha Pathirana wrapped up the innings by dismissing George Dockrell for nine, and Matthew Humphreys for a duck.
Batting first, Sri Lanka made a steady start through openers Pathum Nissanka and Kamil Mishara, who began accumulating runs early on.
However, their 28-run partnership was broken when Mark Adair dismissed Mishara on the final delivery of the fourth over. Mishara scored 14 off 11 balls, including two boundaries.
Kusal Mendis then joined Nissanka in the middle, and the pair stabilised the innings with a 34-run stand, taking Sri Lanka past the 50-run mark.
The partnership ended when George Dockrell removed Nissanka, who scored 24 off 23 deliveries, including a four and a six, leaving the hosts at 62-2 in 8.2 overs.
Sri Lanka suffered another setback soon after as Dockrell struck again, clean bowling Pavan Rathnayake for five off nine balls.
The pressure mounted further when Dunith Wellalage was dismissed for 10 off 13 deliveries by Gareth Delany, reducing Sri Lanka to 86-4 in 13.5 overs.
Kusal then found solid support from Kamindu Mendis as the duo rebuilt the innings and pushed the total beyond 100. Their crucial 50-run partnership saw Kusal bring up his 18th T20I half-century for Sri Lanka.
The stand was eventually broken in the 19th over when Barry McCarthy dismissed Kamindu, who played a blistering cameo of 44 off 19 balls, featuring four fours and two sixes, with Sri Lanka at 153-5.
McCarthy struck again in the same over to remove skipper Dasun Shanaka for a duck.
Kusal Mendis remained unbeaten on 56 off 43 balls, laced with five fours, while Wanindu Hasaranga managed one run off two deliveries as Sri Lanka closed on 164-6.

Florida judge rules prosecutors can access Tiger Woods’ prescription drug history after DUI arrest: report
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
A Florida judge reportedly ruled that prosecutors will have access to Tiger Woods‘ recent prescription drug history.
An April court filing showed that a subpoena was to be issued for Woods’ prescription drug records following his DUI arrest in March, but his attorneys fought it. But according to the TC Palm, the records will be released to prosecutors only and not made available to the public.

Woods was arrested for driving under the influence after taking field sobriety tests following a two-vehicle crash in which his Range Rover turned onto its driver’s side.
The aforementioned court filing showed that a subpoena will be issued to “seek copies of any and all prescription medication on file” for Woods from Jan. 1 through March 27, the date of his car crash and arrest.
Woods’ attorney, Douglas Duncan, wrote in a motion that the subpoena goes against Woods’ constitutional rights to privacy, requesting Tuesday’s hearing to determine whether prosecutors should be allowed to obtain the records.
Woods told law enforcement that “I take a few” prescription medications amid seven back surgeries and “over 20 operations” on his leg. In 2021, he got into a wreck that resulted in serious leg injuries that kept him off the golf course for the entire year.

He also mentioned that his ankle was fused, and he walks with a limp due to the injuries. Due to the nature of his injuries, authorities made him do a field sobriety test while sitting down. He blew “triple-zeroes,” authorities said, but “lethargic” movements warranted exercises anyway.
Woods participated in four exercises before a deputy placed him in handcuffs. The deputy stated she believed Woods was under an “unknown substance.”
Deputies found two white pills on Woods, which were later identified as hydrocodone, an opioid used to treat pain.
Woods has pleaded not guilty to the DUI charge but announced several days after the wreck he would “seek treatment.” At the scene of the crash, he said he was “hoping to” play in the Masters, but his treatment put his eventual return to the course on hold.

Woods was granted permission on April 1 to travel out of the country “to enter into comprehensive inpatient treatment.”
Woods was charged with driving under the influence, property damage, refusal to submit to testing and careless driving. He pleaded not guilty and waived his arraignment, demanding a trial with a jury.
