He scolded Fried Klaasen fiercely. Especially hit 2 sixes in the 19th over. Aslanka was dismissed after scoring 31 runs in 30 balls, while Bhanuka Rajapaksa played a quick innings of 31 runs in 13 balls. During this, he brought the ball out of bounds for four runs 3 times. Captain Dasun Shanaka was dismissed after scoring 8 runs.
It is noteworthy that ahead of Sri Lanka’s final Group A match in the first round of the ICC T20 World Cup against the Netherlands, Sri Lanka suffered a setback as 2014 champions Dusmantha Chameera and Danushka Gunathilaka bowed out of the competition. Chameera, who took an impressive 3/15 wickets in a scintillating 79-run win over the United Arab Emirates on Tuesday, did not finish her spell as she was ruled out of the tournament due to an injury. He will be replaced by fast bowler Kasun Rajita in Sri Lanka and will travel to Australia at the earliest.
Chameera had earlier missed Sri Lanka’s victorious Asia Cup 2022 campaign in the United Arab Emirates due to an ankle injury, but was declared fit in time for the T20 World Cup, where Sri Lanka took her in the power-play and death overs. Was expected to bowl well too. In addition, left-handed batsman Gunathilaka has been ruled out of the competition due to injury and will be replaced by Ashen Bandara as an additional player. The exclusion of Chamira and Gunathilaka is a huge setback for Sri Lanka in both the bowling and batting departments.
