Video of the Day: T20 World Cup 2026 – Maheesh Theekshana bamboozles Mark Chapman with peach of a delivery

Maheesh Theekshana had a field day in the early goings of Sri Lanka's Super 8 fixture against New Zealand. This is an important match for both teams after they couldn't secure full points from their first game.

The capacity crowd at the R. Premadasa Stadium in Colombo on Wednesday, February 25, saw an excellent display of spin-bowling from the home side through the middle overs. Maheesh Theekshana was the cynosure, as he bagged a crucial three-for. This included wickets of Fin Allen, Rachin Ravindra, and Mark Chapman.

The wicket to Chapman is a dream for any off-spinner. Theekshana took the wicket of Rachin Ravindra, who was caught at backward point, only two balls before Chapman's dismissal. The Sri Lankan mystery spinner, who was oozing with confidence, bowled a classic off-break, which landed in the leg-stump line and gripped off the deck before hammering the top of the off-stump. The Kiwi batter was stunned by the amount of turn as the ball went past his forward defence.
