The Sri Lankan all-rounder Wanindu Hasaranga has quickly established himself as one of the most talented players in the modern cricket era.

After a successful T20 World Cup campaign, Hasaranga was picked by Deccan Gladiators to play the Abu T10 League which is being led by pacer Wahab Riaz.

In a match against Bangla Tigers on Wednesday, Hasaranga bowled the spell of the tournament which included a three-wicket maiden. This was also the first maiden of the tournament, taking 27 matches.

He becomes only the third bowler to take a five-for in the tournament joining Pravin Tambe and Marchant de Lange.

1st over: 0, 6, W, W, 1, 1

2nd over: W, W, 0, 0, 0, W

Hasaranga's incredible spell restricted Bangla Tigers to 78 runs, which meant that they fell 62 runs short of the 141-run target set by the Gladiators.

Despite the five-for, Tom Kohler-Cadmore was named player of the match for his remarkable knock of unbeaten 96 which included 12 boundaries and 5 maximums.
