Sanju Samson tried to play it towards the third man and got cramped for room, missing it altogether. The off-stump flew into the air as it went for a walk. It was the end of a bizarre inning by Sanju Samson, who looked very fidgety early on and just when he seemed to be getting into the groove fell to a freak dismissal.
Even though Odean Smith didn't celebrate the wicket very much, disappointment was clearly visible on Sanju Samson's face of missing an opportunity to cement his place in the team. Now it's up to the selectors to decide whether the wicket-keeper batter gets selected for the upcoming Asia Cup and T20 World Cup. However, if Sanju fails to make his place in the Asia Cup squad, it will be very difficult for him to go to Australia for T20 World Cup.
The stumps go flying! @IamSanjuSamson is out from #OdeanSmith's good delivery.
