The Sri Lankan cricket team showed immense fighting spirit as they managed to pull back on India in the ongoing 3-match ODI series. Despite losing a few wickets at the fag end, the Sri Lankan cricketers chased down 227 runs rather comfortably. Avishka Fernando’s brilliant knock helped his team make a comeback in the game.

Though the Indian bowlers fought hard till the end but the wickets came a little too late for them as they faced their first defeat of the tour.

Earlier, as the game kickstarted, the Indian cricket team opted to bat first after handing debuts to five players. Shikhar Dhawan and Prithvi Shaw walked out to open the innings for team India, however, the visitors didn’t get off to an expected start with their skipper Shikhar Dhawan getting dismissed after scoring 13 runs.

After his dismissal, Sanju Samson walked out to bat at number 3 with full confidence in his 1st innings in the format. He formed an amazing partnership with Prithvi Shaw and stitched 74 runs together for the second wicket. Prithvi Shaw had battled his demons against the spinners and raced his way to 49 runs. However, in a bid to smash the ball to the leg-side to get to his half-century, he was caught plumb in front of Dasun Shanaka.

On the other end, Sanju Samson looked fluent like always however even he couldn’t cross the 50-run mark as he was dismissed for 46 and at 118/3. Manish Pandey was expected to play a big role, however, his knock ended with only 74 runs in three innings.

Talking about Suryakumar Yadav, the cricketer scored 40 runs however he couldn’t kick on and score big runs. Soon, team India collapsed against the Sri Lankan bowlers as they couldn’t bat out the whole quota of the reduced 47 overs.

Later, the Sri Lankan cricket team easily chased down the target of 227 runs, riding on the brilliant performance of Avishka Fernando.

Meanwhile, after team India lost the third match, social media was flooded with reactions from the fans on it.
