Asalanka Happy To Have 'good Headache' With Sri Lanka's Batting Resurgence
For Sri Lanka: Sri Lanka captain Charith Asalanka is happy to have a 'good headache' with the resurgence of their batters in the limited-overs format. They registered their third consecutive white-ball series with the 2-1 victory over West Indies in the ODI series on Saturday. Previously, they won the T20I series against the Windies before defeating India in the ODI series.
For Sri Lanka, opener Nishan Madushka's form came as a surprise as the batter scored 38 and 69 in the two ODIs that the team won after coming in place of injured Pathum Nissanka, who struck a half-century upon his return to the side in the final ODI against West Indies.
With Madushka, Nissanka, Kusal Mendis (who smashed a 19-ball fifty in the rain-shortened third ODI), Avishka Fernando, and even Kusal Perera, there is now intense competition for spots in the top three, all among batters in solid form.
