A unbroken seven-wicket stand of 123 between Hasaranga and Bandara is reviving Sri Lanka
Sri Lanka 274 for 6 (Hasaranga 80 *, Bandara 55 *, Hosein 3-33) vs. West Indies
A seventh wicket stand without 123 runs between Wanindu Hasaranga and Ashen Bandara led Sri Lanka competitively – and for most innumerable innings – 274 for 6, after another fall in mediocre order, courtesy of Akeal Hosein separately, has run the fault lines through the Sri Lankan batting line up.
However, the visitors will be more than shocked by the fact that many of Hasaranga’s 60-ball 80 – the highest ODI score by Sri Lanka’s No. 8 – was made on almost one leg, as with injuries seen the young limpet around. through most of his knock. Seeing Sri Lanka as the only special spinner, his absence with the ball would be a strong blow to their hopes of winning.
But a badly injured leg, his leg severely slipped, Hasaranga would not have been on his bow. Cutting, driving, sliding, scouring, whipping, Hasaranga played a pub that used both sides of the North Channel land. Although he saved his best for the final, he took Jason Holder – himself off the field for many of the injured innards – for 20 runs, including a glorious swat foot pull over a midwicket for six.
Along with him, Bandara made his claims for a permanent position in Sri Lanka’s first XI without any harm, providing the unique foil for Hasaranga’s stand-up and delivery approach. Compared to seven four four and six Hasaranga, Bandara ruled only four borders. However, most of them, including six just smoked off Fabian Allen, came after the 45th over just as Sri Lanka would have hoped to raise the score.
Together, the pair ran 63 runs off the last five pitches to bring Sri Lanka to the highest total in the series. When they came together, at 151 for 6 at the end of the 32nd, a score in that division would have been beyond even the most optimistic viewer.
Much of the damage was caused by Hosein’s orthodox left arm, which had run through through Sri Lanka’s central order. His influence was so great that Captain Kieron Pollard went on, having been brought into the attack in the 19th century, throwing his 10 petals into a solitary spell. Featuring Pathum wickets Nissanka, Dinesh Chandimal and Dasun Shanaka – all either bowled or lbw – he finished on 3 figures for 33.
By then Alzarri Joseph had picked up an impressive Danushka Gunathilaka again with a short ball that was too fast for him, the top left hitting a hook on his helmet to catch an easy grip at the point. Meanwhile Jason Mohammed blocked Dimuth Karunaratne just after.
The pair had put on 68, before their wickets began to fall apart which could see Hosein grabbing and Thisara Perera running out, until Hasaranga and Bandara came to his rescue. expectation.
