In the ICC World Cup 2023, an ongoing clash between Sri Lanka and Pakistan at Hyderabad's Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium, Kusal Mendis (122) and Sadeera Samarawickrama (108) struck terrific centuries as Sri Lanka posted a huge total of 344 for 9 against Pakistan.

Mendis was at his destructive best as the right-handed batter clobbered 14 fours and six sixes to make 122 off just 77 balls, while being involved in two partnerships in excess of a hundred runs.
