Sikandar Raza 31(51)
19.4
Shanaka to Raza, out Caught by Madushanka!! That's a massive wicket in the context of the game! Back of a length ball in line of the stumps, Raza moves inside the line and hooks it away towards long leg. He hasn't got the required elevation on it and also hasn't generated enough power on the shot. Madushanka runs in from the deep, gets into a bit of an awkward position but manages to pouch it safely after getting low in a reverse cup manner. Raza c Madushanka b Shanaka 31(51) [4s-3 6s-1]
