During the crucial encounter against Pakistan, Shanaka was dismissed for a duck, making him the player with the <strong>most ducks in T20 International cricket history<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sri Lanka had a disastrous start in the match as their batting lineup collapsed under relentless Pakistani bowling pressure. Half of the side was back in the pavilion with only 58 runs on the board. Shanaka\u2019s dismissal for zero added to the team\u2019s woes and also set an undesirable milestone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With this innings, Shanaka became the <strong>first cricketer to record 14 ducks in T20 Internationals<\/strong>, surpassing players who had previously shared the record at 13. The list of players with 13 ducks includes Rwanda\u2019s Martin Akayezu, Bangladesh\u2019s Soumya Sarkar, and Ireland\u2019s opener Paul Stirling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Despite Sri Lanka\u2019s struggles, Pakistan capitalized on the opportunity. Chasing a target of 134, Pakistan successfully reached 135 in just 18 overs with five wickets remaining. The victory not only gave Pakistan two crucial points in the Super Four stage but also solidified their momentum heading deeper into the tournament.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Shanaka\u2019s unwanted record overshadowed Sri Lanka\u2019s performance, while Pakistan celebrated both a commanding win and strengthened chances of reaching the final.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In the Asia Cup 2025 Super Four stage, Sri Lankan all-rounder and former captain Dasun Shanaka etched his name in the record books for an unfortunate reason.
