🇱🇰 Women’s Team switching to techniques that we used successfully in 2022 However 0️⃣ wins to show still for 🇱🇰 Women’s Team - the codes are only as good as the strategy behind them 🔢🏏 Maybe @OfficialSLC Mens Team will come “Back to The Future”? 😉 @Sanath07 @upultharanga44

Would love to see 🇱🇰 main T20 XI go up against the next best 🇱🇰 players in a 3 match T20 series Would be great platform for next gen to push their case forward against our best. Are we game enough? @OfficialSLC @Sanath07 @upultharanga44

World Cup winning analyst for 🇮🇳 talking about roles based on strategy Strategy is key 🔑 It creates roles which helps deliver success 🎯 @OfficialSLC
The reason I prefer 3 pacers is that you can try them in different roles and give them experience while also gauging them. You need a power play swing bowler, middle overs enforcer, death overs specialist.

🇱🇰 T20 batting is stuck in neutral! 🚨 Data screams for defined roles & smarter shots, not just big swings. We need to fix this before the World Cup. Who do you think makes @OfficialSLC T20 XI? 🏏🔥 #T20WorldCup

🚨Not sending Pathum for the Super Over when he had his eye in is questionable 🚨 Having worked with @Sanath07 in the @LPLT20 he’s open to data driven decision making @Sanath07 is head coach but questions need to be asked from support staff feeding him the info 🇱🇰 @OfficialSLC

Looking at this picture, nearly everyone of these players are still available. If at all - they are more experienced. With that being said it’s clear the downfall in @OfficialSLC is not the players but the lack of strategy and management in T20 cricket #AsiaCup2025

Correct - Chamika/Wella should be picked based on pitch or opposition match ups 🎯
Chamika in for Wella

Easiest fix - switch to 6:5 combination Pathum Kusal M KJP/Kamil Charith Dasun Kamindu Wella Wani Theekshana Chameera Thushara @OfficialSLC @Sanath07 @upultharanga44

For Afghanistan to Qualify - Must win vs Sri Lanka For Bangladesh to Qualify, either - SL win or - SL lose by 71+ runs / 53+ balls to spare For Sri Lanka to Qualify, not lose by 71+ runs / 53+ balls to spare

Cause for concern 🚨🇱🇰 Hope Pathum’s back issue is not serious, if so hope he gets a rest from next game with qualification now secured 🔒 @OfficialSLC

This dominant win has ensured that Sri Lanka has made a strong start in the "Group of Death" with a healthy net run rate of +2.60. What a way to kick off the tournament. #AsiaCup2025 @ThePapareSports

I believe they will play Dushi, Thushara and Binura with Wani as spin Backed up with Dasun, Charith and Kamindu as 5th bowler
@prad_nava @OfficialSLC Will Kamindu be the second Spinner then?

🇱🇰 Captain confirmed they playing 3 seamers, IMO has to be Dushi, Thushara & Pathirana. Ideally backed up with 2 spinners but let’s be real… they won’t play 6-5 combo @OfficialSLC

This is strategy 👇
Post WC, 🇱🇰 need to focus on game management & strategy in T20 if we are to be successful. Some key areas to focus on 🔑 - Playing combination 🔁 - In game management 👨🏾💻 - Opposition analysis 🧐 Here’s a thread explaining @OfficialSLC @Sanath07 @upultharanga44 1/

Strategy is coming up with a game plan that specifically built using our strengths to target opposition weaknesses and ensuring our weaknesses are guarded It’s not instructing batters where to hit or bowlers where to bowl #AsiaCup2025

Key word being - *STRATEGY* Unfortunately some believe that word to mean coaches instructing players how to play each ball and where to hit, etc. This shows their lack of understanding where the T20 game is. @OfficialSLC #AsiaCup2025 1/
🇱🇰 can be serious final contenders ON PAPER. This is the foreign expert consensus going around. They are right. If they click & pull together 🇱🇰 can go far. However, they haven't done that consistently to genuinely believe they would. Strategy, Man management would be paramount!
