Speaking on the mindset that goes into bowling in the death overs, Pathirana said, “When I am coming to bowl in the death overs I try to bowl without boundaries. After that, if I get the pressure from the opponents, I try to bowl yorkers and get some wickets.”
Thinking back to his pivotal role in the last few games, he said, “I try to keep boundaries small and save runs for my team. I put a lot of effort into keeping a disciplined mindset, trying to limit the opposition’s scoring chances while making sure our team stays well-positioned. To help our team achieve its overall objective of winning matches and improving its performance I want to make a major contribution to this game’s bowling execution.”
