November 27, 2017 11:22

SL 107-6 (34 ovs) vs India 610-6 | Scorecard

Dasun Shanaka decides attack is the best form of defence!

He goes after Ravichandran Ashwin as he comes down the track and heaves the off-spinner over midwicket for a four. Two balls later he slog sweeps him over square leg for a six and repeats the shot off the last ball for the second six of the over, which goes for 16 runs.

The boundaries are flowing as Chandimal clips Ishant behind square on the leg side for a four. He edges the next ball which flies past the slips for another four.

Sri Lanka have cut loose, having scored 24 runs from the last eight balls, including two sixes and three fours to go past the 100-run mark, in the 33rd over.

Ashwin gets his revenge in the next over. Shanaka comes down and has another wild swing but holes out on the leg side and is caught by Rahul for a quickfire 17 from seven balls.

Another Sri Lankan batsman gifts his wicket away as they slip to 102 for six.

Chandimal takes over from Shanaka as he comes down to Ashwin and lofts him over mid-on for a four.
