IND Vs SL, Live Score 3rd ODI Match Highlights Result
This is somehow gesticulated aside their struggles of the second ODI and approach the third game which is all set to go well in this ongoing series – and we can witness there is also some confidence.
A fantastic start witnessed in this match which follows a heap of wickets as well as it is a common feature with Sri Lanka’s batting in this series and there are no opportunities’ for the team to witness the second game. Milinda Siriwardana’s hard work and Chamara Kapugedera’s performances for Sri Lanka will probably support to bat out 50 overs.
On the other hand, Niroshan Dickwella and Kusal Mendis will have to kick as well as they need to alter their meaningful contributions towards the match.
Sri Lanka’s failure is keen to keep it over-rate which can be resulted in a two-match ban for skipper Upul Tharanga, but the player is working hard towards the entire series. His absence from the team because of his shoulder injury give chance to appear Dhanushka Gunathilaka in this match and it also marks the return of Dinesh Chandimal and Lahiru Thirimanne to the ODI set-up.
Sri Lanka will be including on their experience and because of this they can delivers a good job. Their bowling unit seemed incapable so it is difficult for the Team Sri Lanka to face the India’s batting order which is worth.
Indeed till Dananjaya came up with a breath-taking spell he just proved himself massive. Dananjaya and Siriwardana proved that Sri Lanka has the required resources so that they can create the problem for such a strong team India in its batting order.
However, the lack of support from the rest doesn’t come in favor of the team Sri Lanka despite Sri Lanka is constantly trying to prove its worth.
Whereas Lasith Malinga’s poor run seems to have no impact on the team Sri Lanka, on the other side Dushmantha Chameera and Vishwa Fernando also failed to show their required worth, which allowed the Indians to have added advantage.
Sri Lanka is having now the same position which once had by the Pakistan in the ICC Champions Trophy. While it can be considered as the learning process for any damn team and Sri Lanka is somehow getting decline now in the graph of the Cricket match.
The feeling of being challenged so obviously doesn’t faced by the team India in this series, until Dananjaya came along and he turned the second ODI on its head. His impact was just massive that the team India, who were going strong at 109 for 0, lost seven wickets for 21 runs in the space of 7 overs.
The choice to send KL Rahul at No. 3, Kedar Jadhav at four and the captain Virat Kohli come at number 5, bounce back for the nation, and it will be done to go down and nearly out of the contest. Dananjaya unfurled a swing of wrong ‘uns and the batsmen failed to read and being impressive on the time of match.
Though, MS Dhoni and Bhuvneshwar Kumar delivered a good job which showcased the patience these batsmen are having which is a required skill. Whilst they did manage to take the team over the line, which appeared same if the middle-order has learned from the mistakes.
Bhuvneshwar Kumar’s ability to bat well at last match is commendable considering his excellent bowling skills too.
He has gone wicket less in the ODIs so far which can trouble the batsmen on a few junctures. Despite the fact, Yuzvendra Chahal, Axar Patel, and Jasaprit Bumrah have done a good job.
The trio also stopped Sri Lanka, to collects run in the abundance number.
