I think Malinga was selected just to destroy BD. Haturu is cunning enough to pull a move like that. The sad part is, he might be right. Our players were always scared of SL shooperstars (e.g. Sanga, Jaya, Murali and Malinga).

Bangladesh batsman have done well against Malinga in previous matches. Malinga was not the bowler he once was though. I'm actually looking forward to this game. I hope it will be a good one.

You sure about that? In 2017, he played 2 T20 against us and bagged 5 wickets. In 2015, he played his last ODI against us and bagged 3 wickets in that match.

Also, guess who was out for a duck 2 times out of those three matches? Our best batsman - Tamim Iqbal Khan. Again, only Haturu is cunning enough to catch something like that and ensure that Malinga plays against us.

I hope u r right.

Tigers_eye · #25 September 13, 2018, 01:23 PM

I am more worried about Dickwella. We tend to give life to out of form players. Dickwella in local league play in his last 4 innings scored only 24. That is worrisome.
