First ball rises and hits the glove of Kusal Perera, backward point dives to take the catch but misses him by a whisker. Perera’s thumb is taped by the physio after the hit. The fourth ball is flicked through midwicket for a boundary.
First ball of the second over and Dilshan hammers it through the covers for boundary. Single and a wide follows. Kusal Perera whips the next ball of his hips for a flat six towards fineleg. It was just a jab, great power behind that shot. But the little cameo comes to an end as he gets a leading edge to be caught by mid-on. Ahsan Malik gets a wicket.
Out K Perera 14(10)
Dilshan was struggling to time the ball well. Finally gets a boundary on the fifth ball with a cover drive.
Four singles from that over from Ahsan Malik.
And that’s it, Bhukari drops a sitter offered from Jayawardene. He had hit a boundary and vd Gugten delivers the second short ball which flies off the edge for a boundary. Jayawardene finishes with a single and wins the match.
