IND vs SL: Sri Lankan captain throws batsmen he was disappointed with his batting performance after his team’s loss to India in the third T20I of the series.
Sri Lanka captain Charith Asaranka said he was disappointed with his batting performance after his team’s loss to India in the third T20I of the series.
Charith Asaranka followed a golden duck bowled by Washington Sundar in the 17th over of the innings. After the match, head coach Asaranka said he was not happy with the performance i
n the middle and second half of the game and said, “The quality of shots from their players is poor.” He also hoped that this team would perform better in the ODIs against India and win. “We are very worried about our batting line-up, especially in the middle and lower half.
The reason for this was extremely poor shot selection. With the spinners bowling, Hasaranga had a chance to bat higher,” Asaranka said. He said.
It is really tough for us not to find any excuses when the ball is old. I want to do a little better in T20s as well. Our top three and four teams performed well.
That is my only plus point. The Men in Blue performed excellently in the first innings and every batsman contributed to the hit. Shubman Gill (39 runs off 37 balls, 3 fours) was the top scorer among his teammates.
Riyan Parag (26 runs off 18 balls, 1 four and 2 sixes) and Washington Sundar (25 runs off 18 balls, 2 fours and 1 six) played a crucial role in the death overs and took India to 137/2 in 20 overs.
Mahesh Theekshana led the Sri Lankan bowling attack and took 3 wickets for 28 runs in 4 overs. Wanindu Hasaranga also took two wickets and scored 29 runs.
In chasing the target, Kusal Perera (46 runs off 34 balls, 5 balls) and Kusal Mendis (43 runs off 41 balls, 3 fours) gave the best performance to the hosts in the final T20 match of the series, which also included Sri Lanka. Vijay They reached 137/5 for 8 and the game ended in the Super Over.
Patum Nisanka (26 runs off 27 balls and 5 balls) also played a supporting role as a batsman.
The most talked about moment of the match was that Rinku Singh and captain Suryakumar Yadav took two wickets each in their respective spells.
The Indian captain saved six wickets and took the game to the Super Over by scoring runs in the last over. Ravi Bishnoi and Washington Sundar also took two wickets each in their respective spells.
