On Thursday, in the Asia Cup match between Sri Lanka and Afghanistan, Sri Lanka defeated the Afghan team by 6 wickets. With this win, Sri Lanka qualified for the Super 4. However, the match turned out to be very painful for the team’s star all-rounder Dunith Wellalage.
In the 20th over against Afghanistan, Wellalage came to bowl, but the legendary all-rounder Mohammad Nabi smashed 5 consecutive sixes off his bowling. A total of 32 runs came in that over. This moment was nothing short of a nightmare for any bowler.
After the match ended, tragic news surfaced that the young Sri Lankan all-rounder’s father had passed away due to a heart attack. Thus, September 18 became a heartbreaking date in Wellalage’s life.
Meanwhile, Mohammad Nabi also expressed his condolences over the death of Dunith Wellalage’s father.
