A very interesting match was played in the Lanka Premier League on the evening of 7th July. This match was played between Colombo Strikers and Dambulla Sixers. The special thing about this match was that a policeman impressed everyone with his explosive batting. Coming on the field, he batted at a strike rate of 160 and wrote the script for the team's victory. We are talking about Kusal Perera, who became the hero of Dambulla Sixers' 8-wicket win against Colombo Strikers and also won the Player of the Match award for this.

Kusal Perera, who played international cricket, is the Chief Inspector in Sri Lanka Police. He has achieved this post only due to cricket. Actually, Perera also represents the Sri Lanka Police team in domestic cricket. Currently, Perera is neither playing for his police team nor for the country's team. Rather, his stormy batting has been seen in the Lanka Premier League.

Kusal Perera's brilliance made it easy to reach the target

Colombo Strikers, playing first, had set a target of 186 runs for Dambulla Sixers, which they achieved 13 balls earlier by losing 2 wickets. It was easy for Dambulla Sixers to reach their target because Kusal Perera along with Reeza Hendricks gave the team a great start. Kusal along with Reeza made an opening partnership of 154 runs and laid the foundation for the team on which the building of victory could be built.

Shadab's condition worsened, he batted so aggressively

Kusal Perera scored 80 runs in just 50 balls at a strike rate of 160. During this, he hit 4 sixes and 8 fours. While Reeza Hendricks hit 54 runs in 39 balls with 3 sixes and 4 fours. Any bowler of Colombo Strikers who came in front of the explosive batting of these two was seen getting beaten. The worst condition was of Pakistan's Shadab Khan, who gave 32 runs in 3 overs with an economy of 10.66 and did not get any wicket. 3 sixes were hit against Shadab in the match, out of which 2 were hit by Reeza and 1 by Kusal Perera.

Kusal Perera's 80 runs proved costly, team celebrated its first win

Kusal Perera was in the news for scoring the fastest century in Lanka Premier League even 4 days before playing his 80-run innings against Columba Strikers. He had then broken Babar Azam's record. However, despite scoring the fastest century, he could not make his team win that match. But this time his innings has been successful in making Dambulla Sixers close to victory.
