Usman Khan to Thirimanne, no run, what's happened there? Imad at mid-off tries to attack the ball with a slide and has landed on a softer portion of the ground resulting in him slipping. He falls in the process. It was a fuller ball and that was driven by Thirimanne

Usman Khan to Thirimanne, 5 wides, very erratic from Usman and even a full stretch dive from Sarfraz cannot stop it.

Bonus runs for SL who are suddenly getting relieved off the pressure by some loose bowling and amaturish fielding

3.5
Usman Khan to Chandimal, FOUR, Cheeky stuff! A bit of risk involved but Chandimal knew what he was doing. Shorter in length, there is some room for him to ramp it over the slips. It's aerial but the placement is really good, gets it very fine and so third man had no chance
3.4
Usman Khan to Chandimal, no run, comes forward to this length ball and drives on the up but finds extra cover

3.2
Usman Khan to Dickwella, FOUR, Dickwella has middled this one! Fuller this time and it's closer to him, exactly where he wanted and he launches it over the infield on the leg-side. Races away to the fence
3.1
Usman Khan to Dickwella, no run, Usman is getting a sharp angle into the left-hander. Dickwella tries to play a wild drive through the off-side but gets a faint inside edge that goes on the bounce to Sarfraz
1.6

1.3
Usman Khan to Chandimal, no run, on a length around middle, Chandimal shuffles a touch and taps it towards mid-wicket
1.2
Usman Khan to Tharanga, out Bowled!! What an absolute cracker! What a way to get your maiden ODI wicket! Nothing much Tharanga could have done to this one, it's on a good length and slanting in from well outside off, skids off the surface and perhaps a touch low to crash into the woodwork. Tharanga tries to adjust with a slight crouch but in vain. Usman lets out a roar and he is mobbed by his mates. A duck for the SL captain and the visitors are rocked early. Tharanga b Usman Khan 0(5)
1.1
Usman Khan to Dickwella, 1 run, starts with a back of a length delivery outside off, Dickwella guides it towards third man
