Tendai Chatara to Dasun Shanaka
SIX! BOOM! WOW! What a way to bring up your maiden ODI hundred! This has been a captain's innings from Shanaka so far but he would be aware that the job is only half done. This was a full toss ball, around middle. Dasun Shanaka stays back and tonks it way over the mid-wicket region for a biggie.

Tendai Chatara to Dasun Shanaka
OUT! CAUGHT! Oh, dear! Shanaka has thrown away his wicket here! He stands there in disbelief! He cannot believe what he has done! This was a slower ball, into the wicket, outside off. Shanaka looks to clear long off but he fails to get the desired elevation and hits it straight to the fielder at long off. Sikandar Raza there takes a simple catch. Huge moment in this game as another set batter departs.

NO BALL! Oh, dear! What a moment in the game! A wicket that was turned down because of a no ball! A full ball, around off. Dushmantha Chameera looks to go for a biggie, but toe ends his lofted shot to Sikandar Raza at mid off, who sits under it and takes a comfortable catch. The umpire signals a no ball for overstepping. This means, he is not out and a free hit to follow.
