Pathum Nissanka top scored with a swift 55 as Sri Lanka beat Zimbabwe by four wickets in Harare on Wednesday in the first of three Twenty20 internationals.
Sri Lanka opener Pathum Nissanka has offered a balanced and mature take on the much-discussed Sri Lanka–Bangladesh cricket rivalry, stating that while it may appear fierce from the outside, the on-field environment remains respectful and professional.
After Bangladesh's disappointing performance with the bat on Day 1 of the Colombo Test, head coach Phil Simmons has admitted that Sri Lankan opener Pathum Nissanka gave a perfect demonstration of how to bat in Test cricket conditions.
Bangladesh denied Pathum Nissanka a well-deserved double century late on Day 3 of the first Test in Galle, but the hosts still ended the day in a commanding position.
Sri Lanka have announced an 18-man strong squad to face Australia in their final series of the current World Test Championship cycle.
