Harsha Bandara
Representative pathway — 1 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 29 imported matches (+0.6)
Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 64.3 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
12 of 15 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.
0.69 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 25 balls.
- ✓ Safe hands — 20 catches in 29 matches (0.69 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 67 × 40% · Batting 52 × 30% · Bowling 57 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.30 for the level played (Club 26). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 26 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 20 catches + 3 run outs (2 direct, 1 assisted) in 29 matches — 0.79 per match.
- Batting
- 418 runs in 20 innings, adjusted average 26.1, strike rate 64.3. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 33 wickets in 27 matches bowled in (of 29 played) — 1.22 per match at 20.4, economy 4.94, strike rate 24.8.
