Sri Lanka Should Recall Angelo Mathews and Thisara Perera Again for the Team



 Sri Lankan Cricket Team is now showing very poor all-round performance against the Australian Cricket Team. They all out 118 in the second t20 game yesterday. Australian bowlers controlled Sri Lankan batsmen from the beginning. But Sri Lankan batsman had no answer against Mitchell Stainlake and Pat Cummings. Adam Zampa and Agar controlled very well in the middle overs.

Kusal Mendis once again showed some poor batting performances and who ran out for only 1 run. Danushaka Gunathilake tried hard to hit bit shots. But he also out for 21 runs. Avishka Fernando who was replaced for Bhanuka Rajapaksha scored 17 runs. Kusal Perera was started well and scored a quick 27. But he also panicked against Australian Spinners. Both Dasun Shanaka and Niroshan Dickwella had no answers against bowlers. Finally, Sri Lankan lower-order batsmen took to the 118. This score is not enough for powerful Australian batting line up.

Sri Lankan bowlers had to deliver some magical deliveries to win the match. But bowlers struggled against Smith and Warner. Both batsmen were scored half-centuries and won the match very easily. The inexperience showed by all the young Sri Lankan players and they need to rethink who are the best batsman against Australian fast bowlers.

Sri Lanka should recall Angelo Mathews once again with Thisara Perera. Dasun Shanaka should replace by Thisara and Wanidu Hasarnga will replace by Dhananjaya de Silva in the t20 world cup. I hope Sri Lanka will play better in the final t20 match at Melbourne on Friday.
