Chameera 2-33(4 ov)
19.6
Chameera to Pant, out Caught by Pradeep!! And a wicket off the final ball of the innings. Chameera gets his revenge but the damage has been done. Pant's charmed life is over. Banged in short - the slower ball perhaps - Pant went back and pulled. Forgets there is a fielder at fine leg, hits it straight to him and Pradeep grabs it with ease. Pant c Pradeep b Chameera 23(23) [4s-1 6s-1]
19.5
Chameera to Pant, FOUR, finally, Pant makes some connection and earns himself a boundary. Third boundary of the over. Very full outside off, Pant plants his front foot across and thrashes it through extra cover. Bulleted away to the fence
19.4
Chameera to Karthik, 1 run, swung hard, clearing his front leg to deep mid-wicket
19.3
Chameera to Karthik, FOUR, expertly done by Karthik. Wow! How did he manage to place it in the gap? Amazing. Chameera missed his yorker by an inch or so, Karthik gets his bat low and his rubber wrists meant that he walloped it into the gap at mid-wicket
19.2
Chameera to Karthik, FOUR, handy runs these. Karthik won't mind at all. The leg-cutter from Chameera, tries to hokey-pokey Karthik. But Karthik manages to feather an edge as he went hard at that. Third man was squarer and it runs away to the fence in a jiffy
19.1
Chameera to Pant, 1 run, Pant is just not able to hit his straps. Really struggled today and more evidence here. Blasts a fuller length delivery straight to long-off
16.6
Chameera to Dhawan, SIX, Dhawan carries on. Toying the bowlers to all parts. Charges out of his crease, extends his arms and bludgeons this low full toss straight over the bowler's head for a maximum
16.5
Chameera to Pant, 1 run, swinging down leg, a low full toss. Pant fails to connect cleanly. Manages some wood on it and Chandimal makes a half stop, they will sneak in a single
16.4
Chameera to Dhawan, 1 run, did that carry? Was that a chance? Very hard for Chandimal as it was dying. Chameera has his hands on his head. Very full outside off, Dhawan protracts his hands and the outside edge is found. Dipping to the left of Chandimal, who stretches his left glove but can't hold on
16.3
Chameera to Pant, 1 run, Pant throws his bat, gets a thickish outside edge that wanders away to third man
16.2
Chameera to Dhawan, 1 run, fullish outside off, slapped to mid-off
16.1
Chameera to Dhawan, SIX, top-edges are flying for sixes. Are Dhawan's edges made of wood or something else? Chameera spears in and offers a length ball on leg. Dhawan camps back, swivels across and pulls. Off the top-edge and it soars over short fine leg. All the way!
2.6
Chameera to Manish Pandey, no run, short again, this time it's a proper leave, end of another fine over from Chameera
2.5
Chameera to Manish Pandey, no run, gets behind the line and defends
2.4
Chameera to Manish Pandey, no run, that's a shot of a batsman playing at club level. Maybe he saw that late, whatever it was, looked ugly. Bumper on the stumps, Pandey was very late to react, ended up playing a half-hearted hook, lucky that he didn't hit that to the keeper
2.3
Chameera to Manish Pandey, no run, sneaks past the inside edge, Pandey was jumping at the crease and reaching out to meet this short of length delivery outside off stump
2.2
Chameera to Manish Pandey, no run, fullish and outside off stump, Pandey defends into the off-side
2.1
Chameera to Dhawan, 1 run, thickish outside edge found as Dhawan tries to drive through the off-side, the ball rolls to third man
0.6
Chameera to Raina, no run, short of length delivery just outside off stump, Raina waits in his crease and dabs to backward point
0.5
Chameera to Dhawan, 1 run, short of length delivery on the leg stump, Dhawan knocks it to mid-on and opens the account
0.4
Chameera to Rohit, out Caught by J Mendis!! In the airrrrr and that's a blinder of a catch from Jeevan Mendis. This is exactly why that try for a slower ball was absolutely not needed. Chameera goes back to bowling normal pace, lands it on a good length and gets it to jump just a touch extra, Rohit was looking for a lofted-drive on the rise, tried to adjust for the bounce and ended up standing really tall, didn't get the timing right as the ball hit the bottom of the bat. Jeevan Mendis ran back from mid-off, never easy looking up while running back, stretches full length forward and dives to hold on. Gets the Sri Lankans going and look at that huddle. They are charged up. Great start for the hosts. Rohit c J Mendis b Chameera 0(4)
0.4
Chameera to Rohit, wide, there you go, this is what T20s do to a fast bowler. Three good balls, three dots and Chameera wants to bowl the slower ball for some reason, ends up firing it down the leg-side, India are off the mark
0.3
Chameera to Rohit, no run, this is very good bowling, right on the off stump from a good length, Rohit handles this from the crease, no freebies thus far
0.2
Chameera to Rohit, no run, hits the bat a little harder this time, the line is very tight, just outside off stump, mostly on off in fact, keeps Rohit calm on the defence and the full ball rolls to mid-off off the outer half of the bat
0.1
Chameera to Rohit, no run, right then, sweet timing from Rohit straightaway. Good to see Chameera bowl full to see if there is some swing, there wasn't much for this ball, Rohit was able to play the ball along the ground to cover
