Sri Lanka beat Pakistan by five wickets at the Dubai International Stadium on Friday (September 9) in the final of the 2022 Asia Cup Super 4.

While extraordinary milestones were not broken during the tournament, Sri Lanka’s impressive win over Pakistan led to the creation of some remarkable records.

Accordingly, here are the first two records broken in the Super 4 match between Sri Lanka and Pakistan.

  1. Wanindu Hasaranga becomes Sri Lanka’s second-highest wicket-taker in T20Is.

Sri Lankan leg spinner Vanindu Hasaranga managed to turn the game upside down with his brilliant bowling against Pakistan. He caused a lot of trouble for the Pakistani batsmen and managed to take three wickets in his four overs.

Hasaranga, who had taken 65 T20 wickets before this match, surpassed Ajanta Mendis to become Sri Lanka’s second-highest wicket-taker with 68 T20 wickets. Hasaranga achieved this milestone in 41 innings.

Sri Lankan player Lasith Malinga is leading the wicket-taking record with a record 107 T20I wickets in 83 innings. However, based on Hasaranga’s recent performances, it seems that there may be some threat to Malinga’s top position.

  1. Pathum Nishanka is the highest run-scorer in T20Is for Sri Lanka in a calendar year.

Sri Lankan opening batsman Pathum Nishanka scored 55* runs in 48 balls and took his innings to the victory of the Sri Lankan team.

The right-handed batsman has been a crucial player for Sri Lanka this year and has been a standout batsman in the 2022 Asia Cup. Nishanka has scored 165 runs at an average of 41.2 in the ongoing tournament, taking his 2022 T20I total to 491 runs in 16 matches.

No Sri Lankan player has scored more than 491 runs in one calendar year. He is also the first player from Sri Lanka to score 400+ runs in T20I matches in one calendar year.

Skipper Dasun Shanaka scored a 16-ball 21 on Friday to become the second Sri Lankan to cross the 400-run T20I mark in one year. Shanaka has collected 417 runs in 16 matches so far this year.

පකිස්ථානයට එරෙහිව ශ්‍රී ලංකාව තියුණු ජයක් ලබද්දී බිඳ වැටුණු වාර්තා 2ක්

2022 ආසියානු කුසලානයේ අවසන් සුපිරි 4 වටයේ අවසාන තරගය සිකුරාදා (සැප්තැම්බර් 9) ඩුබායි ජාත්‍යන්තර ක්‍රීඩාංගණයේදී ශ්‍රී ලංකාව කඩුලු පහකින් පාකිස්තානය පරාජය කළේය.

තරඟය අතරතුර අසාමාන්‍ය සන්ධිස්ථාන බිඳ නොදැමූ අතර, පාකිස්තානයට එරෙහිව ශ්‍රී ලංකාව ලැබූ විශිෂ්ට ජයග්‍රහණය කැපී පෙනෙන වාර්තා කිහිපයක් නිර්මාණය කිරීමට හේතු විය.

ඒ අනුව ශ්‍රී ලංකාව සහ පකිස්ථානය අතර පැවති Super 4 තරඟයේදී බිඳ වැටුණු මුල්ම වාර්තා දෙක මෙන්න.

  1. වනිඳු හසරංග T20I තරගවලදී ශ්‍රී ලංකාවේ දෙවැනි වැඩිම කඩුලු ලාභියා බවට පත්වෙයි.

ශ්‍රී ලංකා පා දඟ පන්දු යවන ක්‍රීඩක වනිඳු හසරංග පාකිස්තානයට එරෙහිව සිය දක්ෂ පන්දු යැවීමෙන් තරගය උඩු යටිකුරු කිරීමට සමත් විය. ඔහු පකිස්තාන පිතිකරුවන්ට බොහෝ කරදර ඇති කළ අතර ඔහුගේ ඕවර හතරේදී කඩුලු තුනක් දවා ගැනීමට සමත් විය.

මෙම තරගයට පෙර විස්සයි20 කඩුලු 65ක් ලබා සිටි හසරංග, අජන්ත මෙන්ඩිස් අභිබවා විස්සයි20 කඩුලු 68ක් ලබා ගනිමින් ශ්‍රී ලංකාවේ දෙවැනි වැඩිම කඩුලු ලාභියා බවට පත් විය. හසරංග ඉනිම් 41 කදී මෙම සන්ධිස්ථානය අත්කර ගත්හ.

  1. පැතුම් නිශ්ශංක දින දර්ශන වර්ෂයකදී ශ්‍රී ලංකාව වෙනුවෙන් T20I තරඟවල වැඩිම ලකුණු ලාභියා වේ.

දකුණත් පිතිකරු මෙම වසරේ ශ්‍රී ලංකාවට තීරණාත්මක ක්‍රීඩකයෙකු වී ඇති අතර ඔහු 2022 ආසියානු කුසලාන තරඟාවලියේ කැපී පෙනෙන පිතිකරුවෙකු වී හමාරය. නිශ්ශංක දැනට පැවැත්වෙන තරගාවලියේදී ලකුණු 165ක් රැස්කරගෙන ඇත්තේ සාමාන්‍ය 41.2ක් ලෙසින් වන අතර, ඔහුගේ 2022 T20I ලකුණු සංඛ්‍යාව තරග 16කදී ලකුණු 491ක් දක්වා රැගෙන ගියේය.

නිශ්ශංක ලබාගත් ලකුණු 491 ට වඩා වැඩි ලකුණු සංඛ්‍යාවක් ශ්‍රී ලංකාවේ කිසිදු ක්‍රීඩකයෙකු එක් දින දර්ශන වර්ෂයකදී ලබාගෙන නොමැත. ඔහු එක් දින දර්ශන වර්ෂයක් තුළ T20I තරඟවලදී ලකුණු 400+ රැස් කළ ශ්‍රී ලංකාවේ පළමු ක්‍රීඩකයා ද වේ.

பாகிஸ்தானுக்கு எதிராக இலங்கை வெற்றி பெற்றதன் மூலம் 2 சாதனைகள் முறியடிக்கப்பட்டுள்ளன.

2022 ஆசியக் கோப்பை சூப்பர் 4 இன் இறுதிப் போட்டியில், வெள்ளிக்கிழமை (செப்டம்பர் 9) துபாய் சர்வதேச மைதானத்தில் பாகிஸ்தானை 5 விக்கெட் வித்தியாசத்தில் இலங்கை வென்றது.

போட்டியின் போது அசாதாரண மைல்கற்கள் உடைக்கப்படவில்லை என்றாலும், பாகிஸ்தானுக்கு எதிரான இலங்கையின் அற்புதமான வெற்றி சில குறிப்பிடத்தக்க சாதனைகளை உருவாக்க வழிவகுத்தது.

அதன்படி, இலங்கை மற்றும் பாகிஸ்தான் அணிகளுக்கு இடையிலான சுப்பர் 4 போட்டியில் முறியடிக்கப்பட்ட முதல் இரண்டு சாதனைகள் இதோ.

  1. டி20 போட்டிகளில் இலங்கையின் இரண்டாவது அதிக விக்கெட் வீழ்த்திய வீரர் என்ற பெருமையை வனிந்து ஹசரங்க பெற்றார்.

இலங்கையின் லெக் ஸ்பின்னர் வனிந்து ஹசரங்க பாகிஸ்தானுக்கு எதிரான தனது சிறப்பான பந்துவீச்சால் ஆட்டத்தை தலைகீழாக மாற்றினார். அவர் பாகிஸ்தான் பேட்ஸ்மேன்களுக்கு நிறைய சிக்கல்களை ஏற்படுத்தினார் மற்றும் தனது நான்கு ஓவர்களில் மூன்று விக்கெட்டுகளை வீழ்த்தினார்.

இந்தப் போட்டிக்கு முன்னர் 65 T20 விக்கெட்டுகளை வீழ்த்தியிருந்த ஹசரங்கா, 68 T20 விக்கெட்டுகளுடன் அஜந்தா மெண்டிஸை பின்னுக்குத் தள்ளி இலங்கையின் இரண்டாவது அதிக விக்கெட்டுகளை வீழ்த்தியவர் என்ற பெருமையைப் பெற்றார். ஹசரங்க 41 இன்னிங்ஸ்களில் இந்த மைல்கல்லை எட்டினார்.

இலங்கை வீரர் லசித் மலிங்கா 83 இன்னிங்ஸ்களில் 107 டி20 விக்கெட்டுகளை வீழ்த்தி சாதனை படைத்துள்ளார். எனினும், ஹசரங்காவின் அண்மைக்கால ஆட்டங்களின் அடிப்படையில், மலிங்காவின் உயர்மட்ட பதவிக்கு ஏதேனும் அச்சுறுத்தல் இருக்கலாம் எனத் தெரிகிறது.

  1. ஒரு காலண்டர் ஆண்டில் இலங்கை அணிக்காக டி20 போட்டிகளில் அதிக ரன் குவித்தவர் பதும் நிஷங்கா.

இலங்கை அணியின் ஆரம்ப துடுப்பாட்ட வீரர் பதும் நிஷங்க 48 பந்துகளில் 55* ஓட்டங்களைப் பெற்று தனது இன்னிங்ஸை இலங்கை அணியின் வெற்றிக்கு அழைத்துச் சென்றார்.

வலது கை பேட்ஸ்மேன் இந்த ஆண்டு இலங்கைக்கு ஒரு முக்கியமான வீரராக இருந்தார் மற்றும் 2022 ஆசிய கோப்பையில் ஒரு சிறந்த பேட்ஸ்மேனாக இருந்தார். நிஷாங்கா நடந்து வரும் போட்டியில் 41.2 சராசரியில் 165 ரன்கள் எடுத்துள்ளார், 2022 டி20ஐ 16 போட்டிகளில் 491 ரன்கள் எடுத்தார்.

ஒரு காலண்டர் வருடத்தில் எந்த இலங்கை வீரரும் 491 ரன்களுக்கு மேல் எடுத்ததில்லை. ஒரு காலண்டர் ஆண்டில் டி20 போட்டிகளில் 400+ ரன்களை எடுத்த முதல் இலங்கை வீரர் என்ற பெருமையையும் பெற்றார்.

கேப்டன் தசுன் ஷனகா வெள்ளிக்கிழமை 16 பந்துகளில் 21 ரன்கள் எடுத்தார், ஒரு வருடத்தில் 400 டி20 ரன்களைக் கடந்த இரண்டாவது இலங்கையர் ஆனார். ஷனகா இந்த ஆண்டு இதுவரை 16 போட்டிகளில் விளையாடி 417 ரன்கள் குவித்துள்ளார்.

Sri Lanka Rugby has confirmed the appointment of former France international and seasoned rugby sevens coach Thierry Janeczek on a six-month contract to lead the national sevens team in preparation for the Asian Games in Aichi, Nagoya later this year.

Janeczek, who arrives in Colombo on March 20, will observe the two legs of the BogoLiv Union Pay International SLR Sevens Series before returning in April to formally begin his coaching programme.

Inquiry Launched Over Bloomfield’s Controversial Declaration

Published

By

Sri Lanka Cricket has moved swiftly to launch an inquiry into Bloomfield Cricket and Athletic Club’s declaration during their Major Super Eight encounter against Moors Sports Club at Colts Grounds. The decision, which has been branded “unsporty” by critics, saw Bloomfield declare at 239 for 6 despite trailing on first innings, leaving Moors a modest chase of 147 runs. Moors completed the task comfortably, winning by four wickets in just 33 overs and reclaiming their place at the top of the table.

The declaration has raised serious questions about the spirit of competition, prompting SLC to summon captains, coaches, managers, and players from both sides for an official hearing this evening. At the heart of the probe lies a crucial issue: was Bloomfield’s move a bold tactical gamble or a breach of cricketing integrity?

With domestic cricket’s credibility now under the spotlight, the outcome of this inquiry could have significant consequences for the game in Sri Lanka, setting a precedent for how declarations and match strategies are judged in the future.
