March 12, 2018  22:04


SL 152-9 (19 ovs) vs India | Scorecard


Thakur comes back as Shanaka guides the first ball fine on the off-side for a four and then takes one.

Akila Dananjaya has a go at a wide one but can't get hold it as Raina at mid-off is unable to hold on to a tough chance, leaping high to his right.

Thakur bowls two dot balls to Shanaka, who then gets one off the last ball to get seven from the over.

Unadkat continues to keep things tight before Shanaka breaks the shackles as he lofts the left-arm pacer over the covers for a six.

Unadkat strikes with the last ball of the over as Dananjay goes for the big hit but is caught on the boundary for five.

Thakur to bowl the final over of the innings. Suranga Lakmal lofts the first ball back over the bowler's head for a four.

India appeal for obstructing the field off the second ball as Lakmal went for the quick single. The on-field umpires had a small chat before referring it upstairs with 'not out' being the soft signal.

And the third umpire also rules it not out as Lakmal was found to have ran straight down the pitch without changing his path as the ball hit the back of his foot.

However, Thakur strikes off the very next ball. The knuckle ball does the trick as Shanaka has a wild swing but only manages the edge and is caught behind for 19.

He gets another wicket off the next ball as Dushmantha Chameera miscues it behind the stumps and Unadkat at short thirdman does well to hold on to a tough high catch.

Thakur on a hat-trick off the final ball of the innings.

He nearly gets the hat-trick as Nuwan Pradeep gets the inside edge, trying to hit it across and gets a single on the leg side.

Sri Lanka finish on 152 for nine in their 19 overs in the rain-shortened match.
