Sri Lanka Is Always A Threat: Thisara Perera Ahead Of Asia Cup 2025

By IANS News August 21, 2025 • 23:58 PM View: 417

Former Sri Lanka: Former Sri Lanka all-rounder Thisara Perera has backed the island nation to once again prove themselves as a dangerous side in the upcoming 2025 Men’s T20 Asia Cup, even if they are not considered outright favourites.

The Asia Cup will be staged in the United Arab Emirates from September 9 to 28, and Sri Lanka have been drawn in Group B alongside Afghanistan, Bangladesh, and Hong Kong. Perera believes the team’s adaptability, balance, and ability to rise to the occasion are qualities that make them particularly dangerous in multi-national tournaments.

He added that while other teams may start as favourites, Sri Lanka’s ability to gel as a unit under pressure often sets them apart.
