Matheesha Pathirana's Dominance Over Pooran Continues in IPL 2023
Pathirana Dismisses Pooran for Third Consecutive Time
In a remarkable turn of events, Sri Lankan pacer Matheesha Pathirana has extended his dominance over West Indian batsman Nicholas Pooran in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 season.
Match Highlights: Lucknow Super Giants vs Chennai Super Kings
During the highly anticipated match between the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) and the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) on Sunday, Pathirana once again proved his prowess against Pooran. The young bowler delivered a lethal inswinging yorker, trapping Pooran plumb in front of the stumps for a golden duck.
This marked the third consecutive T20 meeting where Pathirana has dismissed Pooran. In their previous encounters, Pathirana removed Pooran with a slower ball and a yorker, respectively.
Pathirana's IPL Performance
Pathirana, who represents LSG in IPL 2023, has emerged as a valuable asset for his team. Despite his limited experience, he has consistently impressed with his pace, accuracy, and ability to swing the ball both ways.
In five IPL matches so far, Pathirana has claimed six wickets, including the crucial dismissal of Pooran on Sunday. His performances have contributed significantly to LSG's success in the tournament.
Pooran's Struggles Against Pathirana
Nicholas Pooran, one of the most dangerous batsmen in the world, has found it extremely difficult to cope with Pathirana's bowling. The Sri Lankan pacer's ability to execute precise yorkers and slower balls has proved too challenging for the West Indian.
Pooran's repeated failures against Pathirana highlight the latter's exceptional talent and ability to exploit the weaknesses of even the best batsmen.
