ODI World Cup 2023: 3 changes Sri Lanka should make to get back to winning ways
Check out the three changes that Sri Lanka needs to make if they want to be successful in the upcoming 2023 Cricket World Cup.
3. Bowlers need to bowl tight lines and lengths to avoid freebies
It was a day for the bowlers to forget, with the game largely decided as a straight shootout between the batters. For Sri Lanka, five of their bowlers went at over eight an over, three at nine or more. Kasun Rajitha (1/90) and Matheesha Pathirana (1/95) were the most expensive bowlers from the Sri Lanka side.
They were clueless about where to bowl, and the sweltering heat of 38 degrees Celsius didn’t help them either. In the absence of Maheesh Theekshana, the Sri Lanka spin department fell apart, with even Dunith Wellalage going for runs. To rectify this, bowlers need to bowl to the field and a proper line or length. They changed their lines and the length of almost every ball against South Africa and, in the process, gave away easy runs.
