Steyn strikes in first over, Dilshan out for 0
March 22, 2014


- SL 17-1 (1 ov) vs SA | Scorecard

Steyn to bowl the first over as Kusal Perera and Tillakaratne Dilshan walk out to open the innings for SL.

Left-handed Perera defends the first ball before lofting the next with some authority over mid-off for a boundary to get off the mark in confident fashion.

The next ball is placed perfectly in the gap through the covers for another four before Steyn bowls a wide down the leg side.

Perera showing scant respect for Steyn as he whips a full delivery over midwicket for a cracking six.

However, Steyn rocks Sri Lanka with the wicket off the last delivery. Dilshan plays all over a full delivery which shapes in and it ends up crashing into his stumps.
