He was badly injured in a terrorist attack in Pakistan, and narrowly escaped death, now he did wonders in 7 balls and won the title for his team

The final of the MAX60 cricket league being played in T10 format in West Indies was played on 25th August. In that league, the Caribbean Tigers won the title by defeating New York Strikers. The player who played the most important role in making the Caribbean Tigers win was Sri Lanka's Suranga Lakmal. In March 2009, when the Sri Lankan team which was on a tour to Pakistan was attacked by terrorists, Suranga Lakmal was also a part of the team at that time. In that attack in Lahore, Suranga was among the Sri Lankan players who were injured the most and the worst. It would not be wrong to say that his life was saved by a whisker.

Lakmal was injured in a terrorist attack in Pakistan

Suranga Lakmal did not play a single match in the 3 ODI and 2 Test series played on that tour of Pakistan. Even after the terrorist attack, it took 9 months for Suranga Lakmal to play another international match. Suranga Lakmal, who has played 167 international matches for Sri Lanka, is currently in the news for his bowling in MAX60, where he took a lot of wickets in just 7 balls.

Australian batsmen rocked, one of them scored 60 runs in 18 balls

Suranga Lakmal's Caribbean Tigers batted first in the final of MAX60. This team scored a huge score of 125 runs in 10 overs, in which Australian batsman Jose Brown played a big role. Brown played an explosive innings of 60 runs in just 18 balls, which included 6 sixes and 4 fours. Apart from him, Chris Lynn scored 35 runs in 16 balls with the help of 2 sixes.

Suranga Lakmal took 3 wickets in 7 balls

The condition of the New York Strikers, who came out to chase the target of 126 runs given by Caribbean Tigers, was bad from the very beginning. Their wickets kept falling at regular intervals and thus their distance from the title of MAX60 kept increasing. 37-year-old former Sri Lankan fast bowler Suranga Lakmal played a big role in making the condition of New York Strikers bad. He took 3 wickets of New York Strikers in just 7 overs. In this, he took 2 wickets in his one over, which was of its top order.

The team won the MAX60 title by 56 runs

Suranga Lakmal was the most successful bowler for the Caribbean Tigers, taking 3 wickets in 1.1 overs. The result of his tight bowling was that the New York Strikers team collapsed for just 69 runs in 8.1 overs and lost the MAX60 final by a huge margin of 56 runs.
