Munaweera, Priyanjan take Sri Lanka to 170/7 in one-off T20

New Delhi: Late fireworks from Ashan Priyajan anchored Sri Lanka to sophisticated total 170/7 in one-off T20I against India at the Premadasa stadium in Colombo on Wednesday.

Having invited to bat first, Upul Tharanga’s men made a solid start with Niroshan Dickwella playing some fine shots but it was Dilshan Munaweera who made a strong statement with classy half-ton.

The right-hand batsman produced impressive knock of 53 from 29 deliveries including 4 sixes and 5 fours.

Indian spin duo of Yuzvendra Chahal and Kuldeep Yadav had a good outing as they managed to grab 5-wickets between them and fought to make a comeback in the middle over’s.

However, Priyanjan paired up with Udana in the final overs to stitch crucial 36 runs for the 8th wicket, taking Sri Lanka to a fighting total of 170/7.
