Pathirana: Sri Lanka's death 'sensation' for T20 World Cup

Hindustan Times  

Young fast bowler Matheesha Pathirana has rattled the world's top batsmen with his toe-crushing yorkers in the Indian Premier League and looks set to boost Sri Lanka's chances in the T20 World Cup. Pathirana: Sri Lanka's death 'sensation' for T20 World Cup The 21-year-old, dubbed "Baby Malinga" for an unorthodox slinging style of delivery, reminiscent of compatriot Lasith Malinga, has only played 12 ODIs and six T20 matches for Sri Lanka but has already established himself as a death-over specialist. Pathirana took 13 wickets in just six matches for Chennai Super Kings this IPL season before returning home early due to a hamstring injury that left his Sri Lanka teammates ruing his possible absence. "Sri Lanka are banking on Matheesha Pathirana to turn around their fortunes in the upcoming T20 World Cup," cricket writer Rex Clementine wrote in The Island newspaper.
