Sri Lanka's batting might be unsteady, their checking on dodgy and the norm of their handling changes from one game to another. Yet, in this competition, there can be little inquiry. Their bowling is awesome on show. After five matches, no group has yet made 200 against them On the planet Cup Qualifier. This, regardless of seemingly their best ODI bowler - Dushmantha Chameera - not playing a solitary match, because of injury. In Sunday's down against Zimbabwe, they were additionally without Lahiru Kumara, who strolled off the field harmed in the last match and has been administered out of the competition. Maheesth Theekshana, Sri Lanka's essential destroyer against Zimbabwe, says Sri Lanka's assortment makes the assault so powerful. He has a point. "The variety we have is a significant piece of our group. Wanindu [Hasaranga], myself, Matheesha [Pathirana], and Dilshan [Madushanka] - four people are doing various things," Theekshana said after the game. At the point when you have four players playing contrastingly for similar group, it's an advantage for us. That is the reason we are doing all around well with the bowling assault. In the event that somebody doesn't get along nicely, there are three different folks who can get along admirably." A concise go through what those four people do: - Theekshana is a right-arm finger spinner who bowls wicket-to-wicket, is difficult to hit off on length, and arrangements in secret. - Wanindu Hasaranga is a legbreak bowler with a stellar googly. He's been a T20 worldwide star throughout recent years however may simply be entering his ODI time (or so Sri Lanka trust). - Dilshan Madushanka is a quick left-arm bowler with an executioner inswinger. - Matheesha Pathirana is a round-arm slinger actually tracking down his direction at this level. Be that as it may, he's tracking down his direction at as many as 145kmph, pretty frequently. Sri Lanka's bowlers have additionally alternated to take the large takes and, likewise, the spotlight. Hasaranga tore through the gathering stage, taking six wickets against UAE, and five each against Oman and Ireland, and presently has 20 wickets for the competition - effectively the best at the Qualifier. In the last two matches, however, Theekshana has been the star. Having helped turn a troublesome match against the Netherlands on Friday, he took 4 for 25 against Zimbabwe. One of his casualties was Sean Williams, by a long shot the most elevated scorer in the competition. Theekshana is the second most elevated wicket-taker at the Qualifier, with 13 excusals at a normal of 14.76 and an economy pace of 4.05 - preferable significantly over Hasaranga's. "Hasaranga and I have a generally excellent organization," Theekshana said. "In T20s, occasionally he gets wickets and I will generally go for under 24 runs. For our purposes, great we're both doing great at the present time. He got no wickets today, however he bowled all around well. While he's bowling all around well toward one side, we realize we can continuously get wickets at the opposite end. It's consistently about associations in cricket, whether it's batting or bowling. He's a top dog bowler. He's as of now got 20 wickets in this competition. That is truly great for the group."
