T20 WC: Hasaranga Out, Hemantha In As Sri Lanka Put To Bat By Oman
Pallekele International Cricket Stadium: Oman won the toss and elected to bowl against Sri Lanka in their Group B encounter of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup at the Pallekele International Cricket Stadium on Thursday.
Sri Lanka begin their T20 World Cup campaign in Pallekele facing Oman, but without key spinner Wanindu Hasaranga, who has been ruled out with a hamstring injury. His absence is a major blow, especially at a venue known to favour spin, placing added responsibility on Maheesh Theekshana and the rest of the slow-bowling attack.
Sri Lanka will also look for improvement with the bat after struggling for fluency against Ireland, particularly in the middle overs. The top order needs to show more intent ahead of tougher matches.
