Wanindu Hasaranga created history on Saturday as the Sri Lanka spinner became the second bowler ever in ODI history to take three consecutive five-wicket hauls.
Hasaranga achieved the feat in the ICC World Cup 2023 qualifying match against Ireland - 33 years after Pakistan pacer Waqar Younis.
Sri Lanka powered into the Super Six stage of the Cricket World Cup qualifying tournament with a crushing 133-run win over Ireland on Sunday that eliminated their opponents.
The result also guaranteed Scotland and Oman will join Sri Lanka in progressing from Group B. Opener Dimuth Karunaratne made a run-a-ball 103 and Sadeera Samarawickrama hit 82 as Sri Lanka compiled an imposing total of 325 all out off 49.5 overs after being put in to bat in Bulawayo.
