Yes, this can happen. First of all, know that 27 -year -old Pathum Nisanka has scored 1,854 runs for her country in 65 T20 International matches so far at an average of 30.39 and a strike rate of 121.65. He is the fourth highest run -scorer in T20 format for Sri Lanka.

From here, if Pathum Nisanka plays 36 runs innings in the first T20 match against Zimbabwe, then he will complete his 1,890 runs in T20I and with this, Tilkaratne will become the third highest run -scorer for Sri Lanka, beating Dilshan. Let us know that Sri Lankan veteran Dilshan scored 1,889 runs in 80 matches during his T20 International career.
