Sri Lanka secure qualification for Super 12 with comfortable victory over Ireland

Sri Lanka booked their place in the Super 12 stage of the 2021 T20 World Cup after completing a comfortable 70-run victory over Ireland in Abu Dhabi.

Despite having their top order decimated in the opening two overs, Sri Lanka recovered to post 171 for 7 off their 20 overs thanks to maiden T20I half-centuries for Pathum Nissanka and Wanindu Hasaranga.
