Kuldeep's triple strike leaves SL in a mess

December 22, 2017 22:07

SL 162-5 (15 ovs )vs India 260-5 | Scorecard

Kuldeep to bowl his fourth and final over as Rohit looking to finish off the spinners quota before the end.

After going for runs, Kuldeep finally has something to cheer as he strikes in his final over.

Captain Thisara Perera goes for a big hit down the ground but ends up holing to long-on where Pandya takes a good running catch.

He bowls a wide before striking with the key wicket of Perera, who ends up hitting it straight to the fielder at long-off.

Perera walks back after an entertaining innings of 77 from 37 balls, hitting seven sixes and three fours, as Sri Lanka's hopes suffer further.

No time to get your eye in as Sadeera Samarawickrama comes in and hammers the first ball through the covers for a four.

Asila Gunaratne goes for the sweep but is beaten and Dhoni whips off the bails in a flash and almost signals that the batsman is out.

The decision is referred upstairs and the third umpire rules that Gunaratne has not dragged his feet behind the crease and rules him out.

Three wickets for Kuldeep in the over as he finishes with three for 52 in his four overs.
