Pathirana taken to the cleaners

December 17, 2017 18:50

India 109-1 (18 ovs) vs Sri Lanka 215 (44.5 ovs) | Scorecard

Dananjaya brought back into the attack to replace the expensive Pathirana.

He gives three runs in the over as drinks are called.

Nuwan Pradeep continues and the batsmen happy to just play the ball around and get the singles. Just 3 runs coming off the over.

Pathirana continues and Iyer dances down the track and frees his arms and sends the ball sailing over the bowler for a huge maximum.

He brings up his 50 -- his 2nd consecutive 50 -- with a single down to the on side.

He takes on Pathirana again and that is another boundary past point.

He again gives 12 runs in the over. He is proving an expensive bet for the Lankan captain.

What an effort by Dananjaya, going full length to grab that ball! Iyer plays the ball to third man and is lucky to get that boundary.

He then cuts the ball to third man for a single.
