Wanindu Hasaranga of Sri Lanka registered a remarkable record in his name as he became the first spinner and second overall player in history to take three consecutive 5-wicket hauls in One Day Internationals (ODIs).

With Hasaranga`s exceptional contribution of 5-wicket hauls, Sri Lanka bundled out Ireland at 192, securing the Super Six spot with a 133-run victory over Ireland in their ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 Qualifiers match in Bulawayo on Sunday. He took 5 wickets for 79 runs.

Hasaranga has equalled the record of legendary Pakistani bowler Waqar Younis after taking 5-wicket hauls in three consecutive one-day matches. In three outings, Hasaranga’s bowling figures are 6/24, 5/13, and 5/79. Waqar Younis had achieved this record with 5/11, 5/16, and 5/52.
