August 31, 2017  20:39


SL 119-4 (26 ovs) vs India 375-5 | Scorecard

Siriwardana chips down the track and lofts Kuldeep straight down the ground for a six to bring up Sri Lanka's 100, in the 21st over.

Siriwardana has shown some intent but the early wickets and the slow scoring rate in the early overs means he has been left with a lot to do.

Axar is a difficult bowler to get away as he bowls on a tight line and length similar to how Jadeja operates. The left-arm spinner sends down another tidy over, giving away just three runs in his second over.

Kuldeep follows it up with an even better over, giving away just one as the two spinners rush through their overs.

Mathews takes a chance as he swings Axar over the leg side for a four as Pandya makes a valiant effort with a dive but is unable to stop the ball from going over.

Axar bowls a rare loose delivery as Siriwardana pulls the short ball through square leg for a four to take the total to 119 for four in 26 overs.
