Chahal and Sundar cripple Sri Lanka

March 12, 2018 21:44

SL 129-6 (16 ovs) vs India | Scorecard

Chahal, who went for 27 runs in his first two overs, makes a good comeback. Jeevan Mendis picks up a single from the second ball before Kusal plays the sweep for two runs.

Kusal has another go but misses and then takes one from the last ball as Chahal does well to give away just four runs from his third over.

India continue their wicket ways as Sundar claims the wicket of Jeevan Mendis, who makes room and tries to drive it through the off-side but misses one which goes on straight and is bowled for one.

Just even runs from the last two overs as Sri Lanka are reduced to 120 for five in 14 overs.

Chahal continues India's fine comeback with the key wicket of Kusal Mendis, who is caught in the covers after a fine innings of 55 from 38 balls.

Dasun Shanaka has a go at a wide full delivery but is beaten before taking one to long-off.

A good second spell from Chahal, giving away just seven runs in his last two overs, to finish with one for 34 in four overs.

Part-time Suresh Raina comes into the attack. He starts off with a wide but bowls a tidy over, giving away just six runs from his first over.
