Thisara Perera Achieves Six-Sixes Feat for the Second Time in His Career
Thisara Perera has now achieved the rare feat of hitting six sixes in an over twice. Perera first accomplished this milestone in 2021 while playing for Army Sports Cricket Club in Sri Lanka Cricket’s Major Clubs List-A tournament.
Perera made his international debut for Sri Lanka in an ODI against India in 2009. He announced his retirement from international cricket in May 2021.
Afghanistan Put Up a Fight, but Sri Lankan Lions Prevail
In response, Afghanistan put up a strong fight in the chase but fell short by 26 runs. They lost two early wickets but found momentum through Ayaan Khan and captain Asghar Afghan.
Despite a late cameo from Asad Pathan (21 off 10 balls), Afghanistan's hopes faded when Vikum Sanjaya dismissed both Afghan and Pathan. They couldn't find the boundary in the final overs and finished at 204/7 after 20 overs.
