Finishers are the ones who have long careers – Wanindu Hasaranga Source: SportsHome If Wanindu Hasaranga kept his nerve in the frenzied finish, it’s becuase he’s been a similar situation before. If he batted cleverly with the tail, and measured the last Sri Lanka push to perfection, it’s because memories of triumphing in arguably tougher circumstances are fresh.

On that occasion, his 60 not out off 34 balls, had occasioned a last-ball victory for Colombo Cricket Club. It was that experience, ...
