Matheesha Pathirana is lauded as the next best thing in Sri Lanka after Lasith Malinga and the two bowlers share a quite similar bowling action as well. Junior Malinga had an excellent outing for Sri Lanka in the Asia Cup as he finished with 11 wickets in 6 matches. His best bowling performance was 4/32 at an economy of 6.61.

Pathirana’s best came against Bangladesh in a Group B game, at Pallekele Stadium, in Kandy. Shakib Al Hasan decided to bat first in Kandy and his decision backfired. While Dhananjaya de Silva and Maheesh Theekshana picked early wickets, it was Pathirana who removed the big fishes in Shakib Al Hasan and Mushfiqur Rahim for cheap. He added scalps of Taskin Ahmed and Mustafizur Rahman to end with 4/32, as Bangladesh collapsed to 164.
