On the very first delivery, bowled by Stoinis who was bowling the ultimate over, Theekshana smacked the length delivery towards deep mid-wicket. Steve Smit was fielding at the position, and displayed an unreal effort as he jumped backwards and caught the bowl with both hands, but landed inside the boundary line, and smacked his head on the ground while landing.
The medical staff immediately came to the 32-year old's aide and walked off towards the dressing room. Cricket Australia has announced on Twitter that Steve Smith has suffered a concussion and need 6-7 days to recover. This means the batter will miss the remaining 3 T20Is against Sri Lanka.
