They shouldn't be even thinking of playing Akila in the T20 WC.
But, I actually started to think of your point before you wrote it here. Our guys are purposely letting this Oman team to score runs, so that they could practice run chasing with this batting lineup. As you said, it could be due to the fact that this is not a T20I (Not international status). Another fact to support this theory is that, when Binura had 2 overs left (with his 1st spell being really good), Shanaka bowled the 20th over. Unless of course Binura is injured, I cannot understand that move other than thinking that they needed a bigger target.
If that is the case, I fully support that approach. But, I wished we had 2 realistic T20 openers going to chase this score for practice purposes. I cannot believe they have any plans to play either Pathum or Chandimal as a T20 opener.
lol my the looks of the emotions, don't think that's the case lol
