Last Updated:March 05, 2026, 20:08 IST Navy said the ship was operating 20 nautical miles west of Galle, in the search and rescue region under Sri Lankan responsibility.

Kusal Mendis rescues Sri Lanka from a spot as co-hosts begin campaign with win over Ireland

Kusal Mendis rescues Sri Lanka from a spot as co-hosts begin campaign with win over Ireland

Published by Webster

4 min readColomboFeb 8, 2026 11:59 PM IST The Papare rang around the Premadasa. After a string of fixtures in which underdogs had taken fancied teams to the brink over two days of the T20 World Cup, co-hosts Sri Lanka ensured there was no such panic when they fronted up against Ireland. But they had to thank Kamindu Mendis for that. If not for his unbeaten 44 off 19 that defied the conditions, this match too would have been much tighter. With 164 to defend, the hosts’ attack got the job done with the spin duo of Maheesh Theekshana and Wanindu Hasaranga choking Ireland from the word go. Although the lone trumpeter among the Irish fans, who had assembled in good numbers, had managed to silence the papare for a major part of Sri Lanka’s innings, it faded away soon. Ireland might be the OG giant killers – having defeated Pakistan on St Patrick’s Day at the 2007 World Cup and England four years later in Bengaluru – but in T20 World Cups, they have …

Surya rescues India in thrilling escape from plucky USA

Surya rescues India in thrilling escape from plucky USA

Published by Webster

4 min readMumbaiUpdated: Feb 7, 2026 11:17 PM IST When the World Cup draw was announced, the opening fortnight looked grim: potential blowouts as cricket’s elite bulldozed the associates. By stumps on Day One, that assumption looked dangerously condescending. The Netherlands nearly stunned Pakistan in Colombo. Then in Mumbai, a team of American immigrants reduced India to 77 for 6—and silenced one of cricket’s most raucous stadiums. That it needed Suryakumar Yadav to buckle down and steer his team to what proved a match-winning total was testament to the pressure applied by an American team chasing immigrants’ dreams. When Hardik Pandya fell, scything to sweeper cover—a position the USA had successfully deployed to dismiss Abhishek Sharma as well—Suryakumar walked slowly towards the incoming Axar Patel. Concern flickered across the Indian captain’s face. Had India been bowled out for 125-135, things could have turned ugly, especially if dew sprouted from the grassy Wankhede during the chase, making their bowler’s night a miserable one. As it turned out Surya ensured there would be a blow out, and …
