Good, but i dont see any reason why selectors will omit Banuka Rajapaksha from the playing eleven. But i feel, still number 03 is up for grab among DC, DDS and Charith but more in favour of DC.
Agree. Think we need Bhanuka to get into some form, to really put a fight in the tournament. Wish Bhanuka had not gotten so many ducks, but I rather go on the hope that he fires. Chandi will be the safer choice, but the fearless/offensive option would be Bhankua. Big DDS fan, but don’t see him getting a chance unless Theeksha goes wicketless or it’s a pitch that’s going to turn sideways. Shanaka is the only one we have not tried at 3 😉 He is proven to be a good captain, let him lead from the font?
My assumption for the today batting order would be
DC
Pathum
KJP
Avishka
Banuka
Dasun
Wanindu
Chamika
Dusmantha
Theekshana
Lahiru
