One of the best T20I finishes I’ve ever witnessed👏🇱🇰
That was some brutal hitting skip @dasunshanaka1😍
Timed the innings perfectly. Keep playing like this and the team will follow💪
Good to carry some momentum into the ODIs❤️

Once the match was under way and we took a few Sri Lankan wickets, Nasser brought me on to bowl out the tail. Out strides Murali, carrying my bat. He hits a huge six. At the end of the over, he walks between me and Nasser Hussein and says, F****** good bat, Freddie!’
‘I’d had dinner with him the night before one match. Muri said, ‘Fred, I haven’t got any bats left. Can I borrow one? I told him, ‘When we go out to field, go into our dressing rooms. Just nip in the back door and take one of my bats, but keep whole thing under your hat.’👇
Pandya giving a bat to Karunaratne isn’t the only instance it happened. When England were in SL in 2004, something similar happened. Here’s Andrew Flinoff’s words. ‘We were good pals. I wasn’t bowling too much short stuff at Muri and he wasn’t bowling too many doosras at me.’👇
In 2017, when Sanath Jayasuriya picked Wanindu Hasaranga straight out of school, he claimed a hat-trick on debut. Four years on, he’s gone onto become the number two ranked bowler in T20 cricket. Sanath saw something special despite little domestic credentials.
