"Knew Wellalage Would...": Sri Lanka Captain Dasun Shanaka On Spinner's Five-For Against India
Sri Lanka skipper Dasun Shanaka said that he was confident that the young left-arm orthodox spinner Dunith Wellalage would do something special against India after watching his performance against Bangladesh in the Asia Cup 2023. India's bowling attack combined to end Sri Lanka's 13 ODI match unbeaten streak and seal their spot in the final of the Asia Cup 2023 with a game to spare, as the hosts bundled out for 172 chasing a paltry target at the R Premadasa Stadium on Tuesday. While spinners from either side dominated the game, the pacers, too, played a part in India's 41-run victory over the co-hosts.
Remembering The 'King Of Spin' Shane Warne On His Birth Anniversary
The 'King of Spin' and Australian spin maestro Shane Warne would have turned 54-years-old on this day (September 13, 2023) had he been alive.
