Asia Cup 2022: Predicted Sri Lanka Playing XI
Sri Lanka are the five-time Asia Cup winners, the second most successful side behind India in the tournament's history.
2. Danushka Gunathilaka
Danishka Gunathilaka will partner with the inexperienced Nissanka at the top of the order for Sri Lanka. The southpaw, unlike his opening partner, has been on a wretched run of form and has scored a solitary half-century in his previous six outings for the national team.
Gunathilaka will have to showcase the immense potential that got him into the Sri Lankan team in the first place in 2016. The left-handed batter has featured in 39 T20Is, scoring a meager 678, averaging an abysmal 17.84, with three half centuries.
Unlike Nissanka, Gunathilaka is on a block of thin ice and needs to perform sooner rather than later if he wants to be in contention for the T20 World Cup later this year in Australia.
