Niroshan Dickwella’s counterpunch

While Tharanga had already made the chase easier for Sri Lanka with a stroke filled 49, the game was still not completely in the grasp of the visitors when the veteran left-hander got out. A couple of quick wickets there would have made things interesting again.
But Dickwella came out and played his natural game and made sure Sri Lanka didn’t give India any sniff. He went for his shots and took his chances. The wicketkeeper-batsman finished with the score of 26 off 24 balls, which in the context of a low scoring game was invaluable.
