During the 19th match of the ongoing Lanka Premier League (LPL) between Galle Marvels and Colombo Strikers, right-arm fast bowler Matheesha Pathirana jolts the stage with his nail-biting yorkers.

 Matheesha Pathirana’s double strikes

Pathirana grabbed the Player of the Match award for his deadly bowling. He took four wickets in his spell, giving just 20 runs with an economy of 5.2, out of which three were in the same last over, sending Maheesh Theekshana and  Jeffrey Vandersay to the dugout on successive yorker deliveries for ducks.

Pathirana’s exceptional yorkers

The first over of Pathirana’s spell was a decent one, as he was sent for a six and also given a wide delivery, but later on, in the 16th over, he opened his wickets account with Sahan Arachchige. Later on, in his final over, 20th, Pathirana managed to take 3 wickets, and with this, he became the star of the match.

The match took place at R. Premadasa Stadium where Colombo Strikers won the toss and opted to bowl first.

The Galle Marvels struggled to post an above-par score, with only the impactful batting of Tim Siefert and Bhanuka Rajapaksa contributing to at least a match-prevailing total. Both managed to score 44 and 35 runs, respectively.

In response, the Colombo Strikers got a good start thanks to Rahmanullah Gurbaz’s attacking approach. Muhammad Waseem scored 50, whereas Glenn Phillips played an anchor role alongside Sadeera Samarawickrama, which finally took them to steady victory, with them standing third on the table.
