Group stage matches are currently being played in the UAE League ILT20. The 16th match was played between the Dubai Capitals and the Gulf Giants. In the match played on Thursday, January 23, the Dubai team won a brilliant 5 wickets. Sri Lanka's all -rounder Dasun Shanaka was an important role. He won his team by playing 34 off 10 balls. During these innings he rained sixes and fours. Let me tell you, this is a cricketer. Who survived the bombing in Easter in Sri Lanka.
Shanka's fast batting
The Gulf Giants team batted first and kept a target of 154 runs. In his reply, the Dubai team lost 5 wickets for 110 runs. Now I needed 44 off 23 balls. It was very difficult to make this run on Dubai's troublesome pitch. Dasun Shanaka then came to bat and no batsman had grown. He scored 34 off 10 balls with a strike rate of 340 runs. Which was very important. In the meantime he also hit 3 fours and three sixes and won the match with 8 balls remaining easily to his team.
Superb hit for 6!
Dasun Shanaka absolutely clobbered that! The ball never touch flight but travelled the distance for one of the most sweetly timed flat sixes you'll see!#Dcvgg #Dpworldilt20 #Allinforcricket Pic.twitter.com/nu2pi1buzm

His mother and grandmother were seriously injured. He survived the blast. He said in an interview, this was the most scary experience of his life and I will never forget this.
