India vs Sri Lanka: Follow highlights of 3rd ODI between India and Sri Lanka.
Dunith Wellalage showcased his bowling prowess by taking 5 wickets, leading Sri Lanka to a resounding 110-run victory over India in the 3-match ODI series, ultimately securing a 2-0 win.
Once again, Rohit Sharma stood out as the top scorer for India with 35 runs, while Washington Sundar's contribution of 30 runs towards the end of the innings provided a glimmer of hope. However, their efforts were thwarted by Maheesh Theekshana, who swiftly dismissed Sundar.
Earlier in the match, Riyan Parag's impressive three-wicket haul helped India contain Sri Lanka to a total of 248/7, despite Avishka Fernando's standout performance.
Sri Lanka made a strong appeal, and the umpire took his time before finally giving the decision. And it's OUT! Kuldeep is dismissed. With no reviews left, Sri Lanka secures a victory by 110 runs, clinching the series 2-0.
Sundar smashes one in the arc and sends it flying towards midwicket for a massive SIX! What a shot! The bowler delivers a full ball and Sundar elegantly lofts it over the mid-off fielder for a boundary. FOUR runs added to the total! And now, he pulls out the reverse sweep and places it perfectly fine of the deep third fielder.
Axar has been dismissed! What a turn of events as bowler spins the ball into the left-hander and knocks over the stumps. And now Iyer is out too, given LBW. He was stuck at the crease and even reviewed it, but the decision stands with three reds.
What a shot by Rohit! He slogs sweeps the ball behind square leg for a superb hit. And there's four more! This time he slaps the ball past cover for another boundary. The bowler delivers a full ball and Rohit drives it from the left of mid off.
Siraj is going to bowl the final over. Two singles have been scored in the first two balls. And now, a massive SIX! Kamindu has smashed the ball over long on. Mendis follows it up with a straight hit and manages to grab a quick double.
Kusal is caught at long on! What a great catch! The fielder made an amazing grab, tossed the ball in the air as he stepped outside the boundary, then managed to hold onto it. The third umpire reviewed the play, but there wasn't much to look at, so it was pretty clear that the catch was clean. India picks up a wicket.
Mendis elegantly lifts the ball towards extra cover, allowing the batters to easily complete a double. He lofts it once more, this time wide of long off. Unfortunately, Dube is unable to make the catch, giving the batters the opportunity to score two more runs.
There was a hint of reverse swing against the right-handed batsman, leading the Indian team to fervently appeal for an LBW decision. Despite the umpire initially ruling in favor of the batsman, India decided to review the decision. Upon review, it was clear that the ball would have gone on to hit the stumps, resulting in Samarawickrama being dismissed for a duck.
Avishka smashes a short ball towards square leg, where the fielder in the deep looked hopeful for a moment. But the ball sailed over the fielder and cleared the rope for a six! And another one! Avishka repeats the same shot towards the same region for another six.
FOUR! Nissanka kicks off the game with a boundary off the first ball. He effortlessly lifts the ball over midwicket and it zooms to the boundary. And another four on the fourth ball! Nissanka smoothly guides the ball towards fine leg for another boundary.
India (Playing XI): Rohit Sharma(c), Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, Rishabh Pant(w), Shreyas Iyer, Riyan Parag, Shivam Dube, Axar Patel, Washington Sundar, Kuldeep Yadav, Mohammed Siraj
Sri Lanka (Playing XI): Pathum Nissanka, Avishka Fernando, Kusal Mendis(w), Sadeera Samarawickrama, Charith Asalanka(c), Janith Liyanage, Kamindu Mendis, Dunith Wellalage, Maheesh Theekshana, Jeffrey Vandersay, Asitha Fernando
Asalanka: We are going to bat first. It looks same like the previous two ODIs. Theekshana comes in for Akila Dananjaya. Guys are doing very well, we are in a good position. I would like to see someone score a hundred on this pitch.
Rohit Sharma: Plenty to play for, we've been challenged in the last two matches. It's clear as to what we need to do with the bat and ball. We've addressed it - what we need to do as a group. You got to give credit to the opposition, they played well and understood the position well. Another opportunity for us to correct. Two changes. We have Rishabh and Riyan Parag in place of KL and Arshdeep.
