In order to have a perfect winning combination to produce a great outcome, the situation analysis and understanding the situation are very much important says Sri Lankan pace bowler Lasith Malinga
Malinga revealed this at the special online TV episode ‘Payback with Lasith Malinga’ hosted by Kelum Srima organised by the POD HUB , which was live-streamed over the srilankasports.com Facebook page on 3rd September.
The discussion with the former T20 winning captain was mainly focused on the first One day International between Sri Lanka and South Africa
The Lions pounced well on the Proteas attack, especially in batting, and go one up in the series, winning the first match by 14 runs. South Africa will be seeing a change in leadership as Keshav Maharaj filling in the shoes of Temba Bawuma who suffered an injury.
“Players need to understand the situation of the game. They need to communicate with each other well and get themselves adapted to the situation and adjust the plans accordingly and effectively ” Lasith Malinga said.
“Take the time to get used to the pitch. See how you time the bat. Talk to your other batsman and build partnerships 10 runs at a time. These are very valuable opinions that help in building big partnerships, rather than going all guns ablaze from the first ball “ Malinga further added.
When something is meaningfully understood, it is retained much longer, can be built upon to acquire further understanding, is usually very versatile in the situations and ways it can be used and facilitates winning momentum. This young Sri Lankan team has started their journey towards the T20 World Cup with a winning note and the Sri Lankan fans will be eager to see another winning performance when they out to play the second ODI against South Africa on Saturday at the R Premadasa Stadium in Colombo.
