Pathirana: Sri Lanka's death 'sensation' for T20 World Cup

By AFP News May 28, 2024 • 14:02 PM View: 1080

Young fast bowler Matheesha Pathirana has rattled the world's top batsmen with his toe-crushing yorkers in the Indian Premier League and looks set to boost Sri Lanka's chances in the T20 World Cup.

The 21-year-old, dubbed "Baby Malinga" for an unorthodox slinging style of delivery, reminiscent of compatriot Lasith Malinga, has only played 12 ODIs and six T20 matches for Sri Lanka but has already established himself as a death-over specialist.
