Chakravarthy strikes; SL lose 2nd wkt

July 28, 2021 22:23

SL 43-2 (8 ovs) vs India 132-5 | Scorecard

Bhanuka clips the first ball to midwicket for one and Samarawickrama pulls the third ball for another run.

Bhanuka taps the fifth ball for one before Chakravarthy strikes with the wicket of Samarawickrama, who fails to read the googly and is bowled for eight.

Left-arm spinner Kuldeep Yadav comes into the attack. Shanaka survives a huge shout for leg before wicket as he looks to sweep but is hit on the pads.

The umpire turns down the appeal but Kuldeep is unable to convince his captain to take the review.

That turns out to be the wrong call as Shanaka was hit in line with the ball going to crash into the middle of middle stump. An opportunity lost for the Indians.

A single to Bhanuka to long-off before Shanaka takes one off the last ball as Kuldeep concedes four in his first over.
