Thakur strikes, SL lose early wicket

March 12, 2018 20:37

SL 34-1 (3 ovs) vs India | Scorecard

Off-spinner Washington Sundar to bowl from the other end. Gunathilaka wastes no time as he lofts the young spinner back over his head for a straight six.

The left-hander flicks the third ball on the leg side for two runs and then picks one before Mendis defends the last two balls as nine come from the over.

Shardul Thakur comes into the attack. He starts off with a wide before Suresh Raina comes up with a superb reflex catch at mid-on to dismiss Gunathilaka for a quickfire 17 from eight balls.

New batsman Kusal Perera slashes at a wide delivery but fails to get proper time as it just about clears the off-side ring for a couple of runs and then takes one.

Mendis then cuts a short ball from Thakur square on the off-side for a four and then picks up two runs from the last ball.
