In a surprising turn of events in the T20 World Cup, Sri Lanka has defeated Australia by 8 wickets in the 30th match held at Palekelle Stadium. Australia batted first, scoring 181 runs, but Sri Lanka successfully chased down the target, with opener Pathum Nissanka scoring a remarkable century off 52 balls, remaining not out at 100 runs. This victory adds to the ongoing excitement of the tournament, contrasting sharply with Pakistan's recent struggles, where they faced a significant defeat against India, losing by 61 runs. Former captain Babar Azam has been under intense scrutiny, with calls for his removal from the T20 team growing louder, particularly after his poor performance, scoring only 5 runs in the match against India. Shahid Afridi has been vocal about the need for a generational shift in the team, suggesting that younger players should be given opportunities instead of retaining underperforming veterans like Babar, Shadab Khan, and Shaheen Afridi. The heated debate continues as the cricket community reflects on Pakistan's strategy and player selection amidst these contrasting performances in the tournament.
