SL 200-5 (53 ovs) vs India 172 | Scorecard


Dickwella drives a wide delivery from Bhuvi through the off-side for a couple and then plays the next ball through the same region for the same result.

Dickwella again gets the ball through the gap on the off-side for two more runs as Umesh Yadav has to do a lot of running to take the score to 179 for four in 50 overs.

Shami overpitches as Chandimal plays a nice flick through midwicket for a four.

Dickwella is looking to play freely as he lots a full delivery from Bhuvneshwar over mid-on for another boundary to race to 30 from 32 balls.

A single for the left-hander brings up the 50-run stand for the fifth wicket from 75 balls.

Bhuvneshwar then bowls a wide half-volley as Chandimal plays a nice cover drive for the second four of the over.

Shami beats Dickwella with a full delivery outside the off-stump but the next ball is short and is crashed through point for a four to bring up Sri Lanka's 200, in the 53rd over.

Good comeback by Shami as he switches to over the wicket and produces a beauty, extra bounce and movement to beat Dickwella.

He finally finds the edge with the next ball and Kohli completes an easy catch at second slip as Dickwella walks back after a breezy innings of 35 from 38 balls.

Shami bowled it around the off-stump, forcing Dickwella to play at it as he got the edge which was nicely held by the Indian captain for an important breakthrough for the hosts.
