T20 WC: Asalanka Comes In As SL Elect To Bowl Against NZ, McConchie Replaces Neesham
T20 World Cup: Charith Asalanka has come into Sri Lanka’s playing eleven as skipper Dasun Shanaka won the toss and elected to bowl first against New Zealand in a Super Eights clash of 2026 Men’s T20 World Cup at the R Premadasa Stadium on Wednesday.
The match is a must-win affair for Sri Lanka if they are to keep themselves in contention for the semi-finals. New Zealand, meanwhile, are also roaring to get their first win after their previous clash against Pakistan was abandoned due to rain.
After winning the toss, Shanaka said Asalanka comes in for Kamil Mishara, which will lead to their top-order having a slight adjustment. “The main lesson for our batters from the game against England is to take the innings deep and show more responsibility through the middle overs.
