Australia vs Sri Lanka 2017, 1st T20 - 5 Talking Points

#1 Dickwella could be Dilshan's replacement

Dickwella got his side off to a flier

Sri Lanka are in search of replacements for their retired veterans. However, for Tillakaratne Dilshan, they may not have to look much further than Nirosha Dickwella. The wicket-keeper batsman is an aggressive top order player and is in good nick at the moment after a decent tour of South Africa.

Much akin to Dilshan, he follows a fearless approach at the crease, but his tendency to attack good balls needs to be slightly curbed. Dickwella once again got Lanka off to a flier in the chase but failed to control a flick off Adam Zampa.

If Sri Lanka can manage him properly, they would have one less worry at the top of the order. He is a flamboyant batsman with a free flowing style. If he can start making the big hundreds that count, Dickwella could be Lanka's next big thing.
