ODI World Cup 2023: Best XI of Second Week
Following the second week's cricketing action, it's time to take a look at the performance of the 11 players who will form the best team.
9. Dilshan Madushanka
Sri Lanka haven’t done anything special in this tournament so far. In their three outings, the 1996 champions haven’t won any game as their bowling hasn’t been up to the mark. Except for Dilshan Madushanka, all other bowlers have failed to pick up wickets in this competition.
In the second week as well, Sri Lanka were deprived of their first win by Australia. At the EKANA Stadium, the Aussies handed a five-wicket defeat to Sri Lanka. In the absence of Dasun Shanka due to an injury, Kusal Mendis led the side. Winning the toss, he elected to bat first on the batting pitch.
However, Sri Lanka were folded on 209 runs despite getting a great start from their openers. Defending 210, Madushanka looked lethal with the ball, dismissing David Warner and Steven Smith in his second over. The left-arm pacer bagged 3-38 figures in his nine-over spell in the losing cause.
