Danushka Wijesinghe
The story is the acceleration: a measured first fifty off 67 balls (SR 75), then 50 to 100 in just 51 (SR 98) — more than double the tempo.
Representative pathway — 6 pathway points in the overall rating

- ● Regional representative — 15 matches (+2.2)
- ● Body of work — 29 imported matches (+0.6)
Critical recommendations
20 of 26 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.
Out for 0 in 17% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
0.45 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Consistent run-scorer — adjusted average 31.1.
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 1 hundred(s), best of 140.
- ✓ Safe hands — 13 catches in 29 matches (0.45 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 42 × 40% · Batting 75 × 30% · Bowling not rated (weight redistributed). Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.46 for the level played (2nd grade 9 · 3rd grade 15 · Club 5). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 29 matches since 30 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 13 catches + 1 run outs (0 direct, 1 assisted) in 29 matches — 0.48 per match.
- Batting
- 818 runs in 29 innings, adjusted average 31.1, strike rate 74.5. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- Not rated: 0 wickets from 4.0 overs across 1 matches bowled in (of 29 played) — 0.00 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
