Demuni Nuwan Tharanga Zoysa (born May 13, 1978 in Colombo) is a Sri Lankan cricketer. He is a current member (specialist left arm paceman) of the Sri Lankan bowling attack along with Chaminda Vaas. In only his eighth Test, Zoysa achieved the rare feat of claiming a hat-trick off his first over of the match, against Zimbabwe at Harare.

Lanky fast bowler Nuwan Zoysa came to Sri Lanka's rescue after another woeful batting display by the top order to steer his team to a consolation win over Australia in the fifth and final one day international played at the SSC grounds yesterday.
Zoysa hit a career best 47 not out off 42 balls inclusive of five fours and two sixes to earn his team a three-wicket win in the five-match series which Australia won by a margin of 3-2.
Zoysa's excellent batting where he did not put a foot wrong followed his magnificent bowling performance of three for 34 in the Australian innings which gave him the man-of-the-match award.

Left-handed Zoysa eased the pressure on Sri Lanka with his clean, hard hitting, smashing fast bowler Brett Lee for a six and a four after surviving a difficult chance in the deep in the same over.
Zoysa was also in the limelight as a seamer, grabbing three wickets for 34 runs to restrict the world champions to a small total on a slow turning pitch.
Zoysa eventually won the 'battle of all-rounders' with Andrew Symonds, who top-scored for Australia with 40 and then took two wickets with his off-breaks to keep his team's hopes alive.
