Injury threat for the Sri Lanka cricket team as their prime all-rounder Wanindu Hasaranga landed badly on the ground and injured himself. The physio quickly rushed onto the ground and provided medical assistance. Sri Lanka, from the beginning of the important match against Pakistan, was struggling with the bat. On the evening of September 23, 2025, two nations faced off against each other at the Dubai International Stadium for the Super Four Match 3 of the ongoing Asia Cup 2025.
Both of the teams have no option but to win the game, as they begin the Super Four journey with a defeat each. Wanindu Hasaranga has been a key instrument for Sri Lanka, so when he landed on the ground hard, it was an alarming situation for the island nation.
Pakistan started the match well with Shaheen Afridi, who quickly took the wicket of Kusal Mendis. The pitcher took the ticket in the second ball of the innings. Pakistan bowlers were at their top. Sri Lanka's top and middle order failed to build any significant partnership. Hopes were high around Hasaranga's batting qualities.

Why did the physio rush into the field to assist the star all-rounder?
On the third ball of the 10th over, Abrar Ahmed delivered a full-length, around-the-off delivery. Kamindu Mendis used his feet and lightly pushed the ball straight towards the bowler. In the meantime, Hasaranga failed to get out of the way quickly and got hit on his right hand. He was visibly in pain, and the physio was there on the field to check him.
The match remained paused for a while. Hasaranga received some treatment on the field and then started to carry on the match as usual. The physio applied magic spray on the right-handed wrist of Hasaranga, and then he felt relief to play. Though he could not carry his innings too long, as Abrar Ahmed bowled him out. The Sri Lankan star departed for 15 off 13.
