Sri Lanka inch closer to victory

December 10, 2017 16:59

SL 95-3 (18 ovs) vs India 112 | Scorecard

Bhuvneshwar gets one to bounce extra as Niroshan Dickwella is beaten trying to defend it off the backfoot.

After a few dot balls, Dickwella breaks the shackles as he lofts a length delivery from Bhuvneshwar over midwicket for a four and then takes two runs from the last ball.

In the next over, Mathews hits Pandya for a four to take Sri Lanka to 76 for three in 15 overs.

Bumrah comes back into the attack, in place of Bhuvneshwar. He bowls a short ball which is not that quick and Mathews has enough time to pull it easily for a four.

Two balls later, Mathews hits another boundary through the covers as Sri Lanka cruise towards victory.

The boundaries are coming quite regularly for Sri Lankans as they reach 95 for three in 18 overs, with another 18 needed for victory.
