India vs Srilanka Match 2023
The teams have been facing quite a challenge with the high humidity, especially India, who have been on the field for three consecutive days. However, we’ve witnessed an incredible and thrilling contest.
Hats off to the ground staff who did a fantastic job preparing a good pitch despite the rain and limited time they had.
Match Highlight 2023
The first part of the game saw Rohit Sharma leading the charge with 80 runs in just 11 overs against Sri Lanka. But then, the 20-year-old Dunith Wellalage stole the spotlight by taking quick wickets of Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, and Rohit. KL Rahul displayed his prowess as a middle-order batter with a solid 39 off 44, but Wellalage once again brought Sri Lanka back into the game, thanks to a turning track and the assistance of part-time spin bowlers. Charith Asalanka, who had only three international wickets to his name before today, ended up with an impressive four wickets.
Under the floodlights, the pitch was expected to improve, but Jasprit Bumrah and Moahmmed Siraj dismantled the top order even before the spin bowlers could come into play. When the spinners did get their chance, the ball turned sharply, and Sri Lanka found themselves at 73 for 5 in no time.
Dhananjaya de Silva showcased some beautiful batting, and along with Dunith Wellalage, surprised India with a resilient 63-run partnership for the seventh wicket.However, just when India began to tighten their grip on the match, a slight misjudgment by de Silva while trying to loft Ravindra Jadeja over mid-on changed the game’s course once again.
India made a roaring comeback and secured their spot in the finals after enduring three challenging days on the field. That’s it from me for tonight. Until next time!
Let’s spare a thought for Wellalage, though, who was left stranded after taking five wickets and contributing 42 runs off 46 balls in such tough conditions.
