Ovaise: Sri Lanka after winning the toss chose to bat in spite of knowing that it will get easier in the second innings. India started brilliantly with the ball, Avesh Khan and Mohammed Siraj had got their chance and they made most of it in the early swinging conditions. Sri Lanka were 3 down and only 11 runs on the board. Bishnoi was introduced into the attack and he got a wicket straight away, dismissing Liyanage for 9, Lanka was 4 down and in deep trouble.
Chandimal and Shanaka put on a good partnership took Sri Lanka past the 50 mark, Chandimal was dismissed for 22 when the score was 60. Shanka played a blistering knock of 74 of just 38 balls which included 9 fours and 2 huge sixers got Sri Lanka to a respectable score of 146.
With dew expected in the 2nd innings, Sri Lanka has a huge task on their hands, Started off well, Chameera got his man early, he dismissed Rohit for the 6th time and India were 6-1, Samson and Iyer took India past 50 before Samson threw it away, scored 18 and edged a wide one to the keeper, Hooda and Iyer looked unstoppable. They were hitting the ball all around the park, the Sri Lanka bowlers had no answers, anything the bowlers bowled was getting hammered. Sri Lankan bowlers were tested on a flat surface where the ball was coming onto the bat nicely.
It took a peach to get Hooda out, Lahiru Kumara bowled a
vicious yorker in the blockhole and rattled the stumps. Venky Iyer could get going
today and got out early on just 5. Jadeja joined Iyer in the middle who didn’t bowl
today and played as a batter. Shreyas Iyer ended with a delightful inning of 73 and Jadeja with 22 of 15 saw India to another Victory!
India have wish-washed the
Sri Lankan team in this T20 series, 3-0!!
