Dananjaya picks 5th wicket as India collapse

August 24, 2017 21:48

India 125-6 (20 ovs) vs SL 236-8 | Scorecard

Mystery spinner Dananjaya, who starts his run up with the off-spinner's grip, before bowling with a leg-spinner's grip has the Indian batsmen struggling to read him.

Dhoni uses his feet to nullify the spin and steals a quick single to mid-off.

And Pandya looks to repeat it but he is beaten by the wrong one and is stumped for a duck as India slip to 121 for six.

This is Dananjaya's fifth wicket in the space of 13 balls as he turns the game on it's head.

India were sitting pretty on 102 for no loss in 15 overs before losing six wickets for 23 runs in the next five overs to be reduced to 125 for six in 20 overs. They still need another 104 runs from 30 overs for victory but have just four wickets in hand.
