With Wanindu Hasaranga out of the World Cup due to injury, Sri Lanka is turning to Dushan Hemantha to fill the void. Fielding coach R. Sridhar believes Hemantha's unique variations could catch Australia off guard, adding a fresh dynamic to the squad.

Hemantha's ability to deceive batsmen with his spin could be crucial in this high-stakes match. As Sri Lanka seeks to maintain their momentum, the pressure is on the young bowler to deliver when it matters most.

Sridhar's confidence in Hemantha reflects a broader strategy to adapt and innovate in the face of adversity. If he can indeed bamboozle the Australian batsmen, it could be a game-changer for Sri Lanka in this pivotal World Cup encounter.
