Wanindu Hasaranga Equals 33-Year-Old Record With 5-Wicket Haul Against Ireland
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.
