Cricket Viral Video: Mateesha Pathirana is an expert on the yorker delivery. We saw it in IPL 2024 where he just rattled almost every batsman with that delivery. No matter who the player is, if Patjirana is bowling to you, your toes are getting crushed.
He might be the best T20 bowler currently in the world. We saw glimpses of his brilliance in the ongoing ICC T20 World Cup 2024 where South Africa defeated Sri Lanka in a one-sided affair.
In a disappointing match for Sri Lanka, the only positive for them was the form of Pathirana who looked sensational. In one brilliant moment, he completely shocked Henrich Klassen who had no answer against that delivery.
Cricket Viral Video: The Toe Crusher
The moment came in the 12th over when South Africa only needed 24 runs to win and were breezy in the run chase. Sri Lanka desperately needed something to get back in the game.
That is when the magical delivery happened as Pathirana bowled a perfect inswinging yorker to Henrich Klassen. Klassen is hailed as the best T20 batsman in the world currently.
But even he did not have an answer to this perfect toe crusher and struggled to play the delivery. Klassen somehow defended the delivery but fell down on the ground in the process. The delivery clocked 151 kph in speed meter and is the fastest delivery in the T20 World Cup right now.
Sri Lanka Humiliated
Even after a decent bowling performance, Sri Lanka was utterly humiliated in the first match of their T20 World Cup campaign. A difficult pitch followed by a shameful batting performance resulted in the whole team getting out on 77 runs only. South Africa chased down the target in the 17th over with the loss of only 4 wickets. It was a completely one-sided match and a wake-up call for Sri Lanka.
