Ashwin's double strike brings India closer to win

November 27, 2017 11:28

SL 110-8 (36 ovs) vs India 610-6 | Scorecard

Spin from both ends as Jadeja comes in for Ishant and he starts his new spell with a maiden over to Chandimal.

Meanwhile, Ashwin strikes again as he dismisses Dilruwan Perera leg before wicket. The Sri Lankans take the DRS but the ball is clipping the leg stump as the decision stands.

Ashwin strikes again two balls later with the wicket of Rangana Herath, who comes forward to defend but is struck on the gloves by one that bounces more than expected and is caught at first slip.

Ashwin completes 50 wickets in 2017 and also takes his tally to 299 wickets.

Suranga Lakmal has a wild swing but gets a single on the leg side before Chandimal sweeps it fine for two runs.
