Sudharshanan in ESPNcricinfo, 2 July 2023, with the title “Theekshana, Nissanka hand Sri Lanka ODI World Cup ticket” A clinical bowling performance backed by an unbeaten 101 from Pathum Nissanka helped Sri Lanka register a nine-wicket win in the Super Six clash against Zimbabwe and also confirmed their spot at the ODI World Cup in India later this year.

SRI LANKA CRICKET NEWS – By Victor Melder Complied by Victor Melder (JUNE 2023) Experienced batsman Angelo Mathews was omitted from the Sri Lanka squad for the Cricket World Cup qualifiers this month, in an otherwise unchanged squad named for the three-month ODI series against Afghanistan.

Sri Lanka begin their qualification campaign against the United Arab Emirates on June 19, but are scheduled to play two warm up matches ...
