ODI’s Second Bowler: Wanindu Hasaranga, the famous Sri Lanka leg-break spinner, accomplished a historic accomplishment by becoming only the second bowler, after Pakistan’s renowned pacer Waqar Younis, to record the most straight five-wicket hauls in ODI history. Previously, Waqar Younis of Pakistan was the first to get a five-wicket haul in three consecutive One-Day Internationals. Furthermore, in the upcoming ODI World Cup Qualifiers, his destructive performance helped the Lankan Lions beat the Irish team by a massive 133 runs.
Meanwhile, in the vital match, the Lankan Lions batted first and achieved a massive total of 325 runs in 49.5 overs, with Dimuth Karunaratne scoring 103 runs off 103 balls. Sadeera Samarawickrama and Dhananjaya de Silva both contributed crucial runs, scoring 38 and 42* runs, respectively.
Meanwhile, Mark Adair had a four-wicket haul for 46 runs in 9.5 overs at a fantastic economy of 4.67, while Barry McCarthy had three scalps. During the run chase, though, it was the great spinner Wanindu Hasaranga who ripped through the opposing batting line-up, keeping Sri Lanka in control.
In his ten overs, the spin wonder took five wickets for 79 runs at a good economy of 7.90. In the process, he collected his third five-wicket haul in ODIs in a row. He entered an elite group of ODI bowlers as he became only the second bowler in the format’s history to collect three straight five-wicket hauls.
Sri Lanka defeats Ireland to secure their place in India.
Returning to the Qualifiers encounter, Ireland was limited to 192 runs, with Curtis Campher leading the way with 39 runs, followed by Harry Tector with 33 runs.
With this crushing defeat, Sri Lanka effectively destroyed Ireland’s chances of qualifying for the 2023 ODI World Cup, which will be held in India in October-November of this year. The Lankan Lions, on the other hand, will try to push through and secure their place in the huge ICC tournament, having qualified for the Super Six stage.
