Time is not going well for Tawheed Hriday. He had to sit out 5 matches in the Lankan Premier League (LPL) in Sri Lanka. Dambulla Sixers did not feel the need to play him after the first two matches.
The franchise did not get the expected performance despite returning the Bangladesh middle order batsman to the Dambulla XI in their eighth match. He could not open the account of runs against Colombo Strikers. Earlier, he had only 1 run in the first two matches. Candy scored 1 in the first game against the Falcons. He did not get a chance to bat in the next match against Jaffna Kings.
Dilapidated condition like that of Dambulla. Even if you win the match, you are not playing in the playoffs because you are behind in the run rate. Batting first, Dambulla scored only 123 runs. In reply, Colombo Strikers were all out for 95 runs. Even though Tawheed won the match by 23 runs, they were knocked out of the tournament.
Yesterday, Dambulla washed up with the entire batting order like Tawheed. No one got a run except captain Mohammad Nabi. Dambulla gets moderate capital on his 40-run innings.
Losing 3 wickets in 5 overs when the team was under a lot of pressure, Tawheed went to the crease. In the third ball, Binura pulls a length ball outside Fernando’s off stump. The ball landed on the edge of the bat in the gloves of Rahmanullah Gurbaz behind the wicket.
Colombo’s batting was not good either. If Thisara Perera did not score 30 runs, they would not have scored 95 runs. Although they can play in the playoffs by losing this match. Their position is number three with 8 points in 8 matches. Dambulla is at the bottom of the list with 6 points after winning only 3 out of 8 matches.
