Sadeera Samarawickrama was in prime form for Sri Lanka during the Asia Cup 2023 tournament. In 6 matches, he made 215 runs with 2 fifties at an average of 35.83 and a highest score of 93 runs. The right-hander was perfect as a partner to the likes of Kusal Mendis and Charith Asalanka in the middle order. 

Put into bat first by Bangladesh in a crucial Super 4s match in Colombo, Sri Lanka had gotten off to a decent start. However, Bangladesh kept picking wickets at the right moments to not let the opposition form a big partnership. Here is where Samarawickrama shined as he anchored one end and let others play their natural game. Samarawickrama deserved a century but got out on the final ball of the innings for 93 in 72 balls with 8 fours and 2 sixes.
