Dunith Wellalage was a revelation for Sri Lanka in this Asia Cup 2023. The left-arm spinner finished with 10 wickets in 6 matches with an economy of just 4.26. He was the best spinner for them with Maheesh Theekshana and bowled extremely well in the middle overs.

Dunith Wellalage’s best bowling performance in the Asia Cup 2023 came against India in a Super 4s encounter in R Premadasa Stadium in Colombo. The youngster was brought into the bowl early by Dasun Shanaka and he gave rich rewards. He quickly accounted for the top three of the Indian batting in Rohit Sharma, Shubman Gill, and Virat Kohli to jolt the Men in Blue. 

Then in the middle overs, he came back to break a partnership by dismissing KL Rahul and then accounted for dangerous Hardik Pandya. Wellalage finished with 5/40 in his 10 overs, his maiden five-wicket haul for Sri Lanka in ODIs.
