Changes expected in Sri Lanka squad

Sri Lanka is expected to make two key changes for tonight’s (25) critical T20 World Cup Super 8 match against New Zealand at the R. Premadasa Stadium. Cricket sources indicate that top-order batter Charith Asalanka and middle-order batter Janith Liyanage will likely join the starting lineup.

Reports suggest that Kamil Mishara, who struggled in recent outings, along with either Dushan Hemantha or Maheesh Theekshana, may be sidelined for the 7:00 PM encounter. This tactical shift aims to bolster the batting department as the co-hosts face a must-win situation following their previous defeat to England.
