Asia Cup 2023: 5 Players who can win Player of the Tournament Award
Here are 5 players who could bring home the coveted individual trophy, given their incredible performance in the tournament so far.
3. Matheesha Pathirana
Sri Lanka's young brigade is incomplete without Matheesha Pathirana. The young pacer who has similar bowling action to Lasith Malinga, has set the expectations high. In his short ODI career stint, Matheesha has impressed the cricketing world.
Right from the IPL this year, Pathirana has emerged as a dependable bowler. MS Dhoni trusted him and he paid back with flying colours. Now, in the ongoing Asia Cup, he has already accumulated 8 wickets under his belt in four matches. He will be spiced up against the batting line-up of Pakistan to take his team through to the final.
He stays calm and composed under pressure and is developing a lethal yoker which he executes so well. He will get better and mature with experience. But he has the raw skillsets if nourished well, can give a long-term service to Sri Lankan Cricket. All of these qualities set him up for grabbing the Player of the Tournament award in Asia Cup 2023.
