Wanindu becomes the first Sri Lankan bowler to reach 300 wickets in T20 cricket

Wanindu Hasaranga's Desert Vipers continued to dominate the International League T20, securing a commanding 10-wicket victory over the Sharjah Warriors and maintaining their lead on the points table.

Sharjah Warriors were bowled out for a mere 91 runs in 19.1 overs, with Mohammad Amir claiming 4 wickets and Wanindu Hasaranga delivering an exceptional spell, taking 3 wickets for just 10 runs in his 4 overs.

This performance marked a historic milestone for Wanindu, as he became the first Sri Lankan bowler to reach 300 wickets in T20 cricket. Achieving this feat in just 208 matches, he also set the record for being the fastest player in the world to reach the 300-wicket milestone in the format.

In response, Desert Vipers cruised to victory, scoring 95 runs without losing a wicket in just 10 overs.
