The ICC T20 World Cup 2022 is just a few days away. With less than 30 days left for the biggest T20I event of the year, all 16 teams have announced their squads for the tournament. There are a few players like Rohit Sharma and Shakib Al Hasan who have played in all the T20 World Cups and will play in the 2022 tournament as well.

Pathum Nissanka set to open alongside KL Rahul for Delhi Capitals opener

Published

By

Delhi Capitals are set to kick off their IPL 2026 campaign with a fresh opening combination, as Sri Lanka’s Pathum Nissanka is likely to partner India star KL Rahul at the top of the order.

The Capitals face Lucknow Super Giants in their opening match today at the Ekana Cricket Stadium B Ground in Lucknow, and all eyes will be on how the new-look batting lineup shapes up. While Rahul’s role as opener is confirmed, the team management has been weighing their options for the second slot, with Prithvi Shaw and Abhishek Porel also in contention.

However, indications suggest that Nissanka has edged ahead in the race, with the franchise keen to utilize his consistency and ability to anchor innings in the powerplay. His calm approach at the crease could complement Rahul’s experience, giving Delhi a balanced start at the top.

The Capitals have also bolstered their middle order with the inclusion of David Miller, who adds firepower alongside fellow South African Tristan Stubbs. The duo is expected to provide the late-innings acceleration that Delhi often lacked in previous seasons.

Despite missing Australian pacer Mitchell Starc for the opening fixture due to injury, Delhi still boast a formidable bowling attack. Captain Axar Patel will lead from the front with his all-round abilities, while the spin department is strengthened by the ever-reliable Kuldeep Yadav.
In the pace department, South Africa’s Lungi Ngidi brings experience and variation, having impressed with his clever change of pace in recent T20 competitions. Meanwhile, left-arm seamer T Natarajan returns fully fit after a lengthy injury layoff, adding further depth to the attack.

Avishka Gunawardena steps down from Sri Lanka Cricket role after reassignment

Published

By

Former Sri Lanka international Avishka Gunawardena has resigned from his position at Sri Lanka Cricket’s High Performance Centre, bringing an abrupt end to his latest stint within the national setup.

The decision comes shortly after a reshuffle in coaching responsibilities, which saw Gunawardena moved from his role as head coach of the Sri Lanka ‘A’ team to take charge of the Under-19 squad. While the transition was part of an internal restructuring, it is understood that the change played a key role in his decision to step away.

Gunawardena had been overseeing the Sri Lanka ‘A’ team in recent tours and development programs, earning praise for his work with emerging players. Several young cricketers are believed to have benefited from his guidance, progressing steadily through the ranks during his tenure.

Despite his contributions at the ‘A’ team level, the shift to the youth setup appears to have prompted his resignation from the High Performance Centre altogether. The move leaves a gap in Sri Lanka’s player development structure at a crucial time.
As of now, Sri Lanka Cricket has not issued an official statement regarding Gunawardena’s departure, nor have they named a successor to fill the vacancy.

Sri Lanka stun Chinese Taipei with 3–1 away victory

The Sri Lanka National Football Team delivered an impressive performance to secure a 3–1 victory against the Chinese Taipei National Football Team on their home ground, marking their second consecutive away win against the same opponents in AFC Qualifiers action.

Coming into the match, Chinese Taipei held a higher FIFA ranking at 174, compared to Sri Lanka’s 194. However, rankings proved irrelevant on the day as Sri Lanka showcased resilience, discipline, and clinical finishing to dominate key moments of the game. This crucial win is expected to provide a significant boost to Sri Lanka’s FIFA standing, with projections suggesting a climb to around the 190 mark.

Sri Lanka opened the scoring in the 18th minute through Rahul Suresh, who capitalized on a well-constructed attacking move to give the visitors an early advantage. Building on that momentum, Niloshan Senthurvasan doubled the lead in the 26th minute, finishing confidently to put Sri Lanka firmly in control before halftime.

The second half saw Sri Lanka extend their lead further when Chinese Taipei defender Christoper Tiao inadvertently turned the ball into his own net in the 53rd minute, making it 3–0. Despite the setback, the hosts responded quickly, with Yao-Shing Yu finding the net in the 55th minute to pull one back and keep hopes alive.

However, Sri Lanka maintained composure for the remainder of the match, effectively managing the game and limiting further scoring opportunities for the home side. Their defensive organization and midfield control played a crucial role in preserving the lead until the final whistle.
