SL struggle with the bat after India post 375

August 31, 2017 20:21

SL 91-4 (20 ovs) vs India 375-5 | Scorecard

Kuldeep gifts Mathews a full toss which he drives through the off-side for a four and then takes one before Siriwardana watchfully defends the rest of the over.

Hardik continues to deal with short balls but Siriwardana manages to crash it through the covers for a four. And a few balls later, Mathews pulls another short ball through midwicket for the second boundary of the over to get 12 runs from it.

Kuldeep bowls a tight over, conceding just one run as Siriwardana plays four dot balls before taking one.

Spin from both ends as left-arm spinner Axar Patel comes into the attack in place of Pandya, who bowled four overs for 24 runs while picking up a wicket in his first spell.

Siriwardana sweeps the last ball fine for two runs to get four runs from Axar's first over.

Sri Lanka are still struggling to make an impression with the bat as they reach 91 for four in 20 overs.
