SL TEAM NEWS, PLAYING 11 & PLAYERS PERFORMANCE
TEAM NEWS
Sri Lanka (SL) recently lost their last 3 matches t20 series against Australia by 2-1. But the Sri Lankan players’ performances were too good and Sri Lanka may play in Asia cup with the same players. Their superstar speedster Dushmantha Chameera has been out from Asia due to injury so Pathirana may get the chance in playing 11.
