Chahal to Kusal Mendis, out Lbw!! This was coming. For long now Kusal Mendis was sweeping those full balls and getting away. Especially against Axar where the ball came quickly and hence the bat speed took care of that. In Chahal's case, the ball is devoid of the pace and the sweep is a bit early. The bat goes over the ball and it pings him right in front of off and middle. The umpire rules it in favour of the bowler immediately. To make things worse for the Lankans, Kusal Mendis takes the review back with him. Kusal Mendis lbw b Chahal 19(48) [4s-2]
