This is a fraction short and angled down leg, Junaid Siddique looks to pull but misses and the ball hits the pad. There is an appeal from the bowler but the umpire does not think this is out.

Maheesh Theekshana to Junaid Siddique
OUT! CAUGHT! Maheesh Theekshana wraps up the game for Sri Lanka and celebrates the wicket in style with a bow and arrow celebration! This is bowled in line with the stumps on a fuller length, Junaid Siddique gets his front foot to the leg side and heaves the ball toward the leg side. He slices this to long on where Pathum Nissanka takes an easy catch and it fitting that he ends the game after his outstanding knock in the first inning. Sri Lanka have won by 79 runs and this has been a walk in the park for them.
