India vs Sri Lanka Live Score, 3rd T20I Match: Shanaka’s blazing 74 not out helps visitors post 146/5 – Firstcricket News, Firstpost
India vs Sri Lanka Live Score, 3rd T20I in Dharamsala: Harshal Patel bowls the final over. Shanaka produces a one-handed slog sweep in the second delivery, clearing to square leg fence comfortably to collect his second six of the innings. Collects a quick double in the next delivery, before gloving a short ball over the keeper’s head and away to the fine leg fence for his ninth boundary. Dot to end the innings, as Sri Lanka finish on 146/5, the unbroken sixth-wicket stand worth 86 off just 47 deliveries, with Shanaka remaining unbeaten on 74 off just 37.
Preview: India clinched yet another series on home soil with a comprehensive seven-wicket victory in the second T20I against Sri Lanka, and will be eyeing a third consecutive 3-0 sweep under Rohit Sharma’s leadership when they take on Dasun Shanaka’s men in the third and final match of the series.
The Men in Blue had entered the second T20I as the strong favourites after a 62-run win in the opening game in Lucknow, and skipper Rohit this time opted to field. Thanks to vital contributions from Pathum Nissanka (75) and skipper Shanaka (47 not out), the Lankans were able to post a competitive 183/5 on the board, with a staggering 80 runs coming in the last five overs.
Though they were off to a positive start after getting rid of Rohit cheaply, with Ishan Kishan following him soon after, the game slipped out of their hands once Shreyas Iyer (74 not out) was able to steady the hosts in the middle overs while forging a valuable stand with Sanju Samson (39). Ravindra Jadeja walked in after Samson’s dismissal and teed off right away, his 18-ball 45 not out helping finish things off for the hosts with 17 balls to spare.
