    3rd ODI: Wellalage’s Five-for Helps Sri Lanka Thrash India By 110 Runs; Complete 2-0 Series Win (ld)

    By IANS News August 07, 2024 • 21:20 PM View: 787
    Dunith Wellalage: Left-arm spin all-rounder Dunith Wellalage spun a vicious web around the Indian batting line-up and took Sri Lanka to a huge 110-run win in the third ODI at the R. Premadasa Stadium on Wednesday. The result also means Sri Lanka got their first bilateral ODI series win over India since August 1997.

    After half-centuries by Avishka Fernando and Kusal Mendis propelled Sri Lanka to reach 248/7, the highest total of this series, the Indian batting line-up was again found wanting in their plans and judgement in playing against spinners. It propelled Wellalage to pick 5-27 as India crumbled yet again to be bowled out for just 138 in 26.1 overs, with only four batters reaching double figures.

    Rohit Sharma again provided a flying start to India by thumping six boundaries in the first four overs, five of which came against Maheesh Theekshana. Asitha Fernando got the first breakthrough for Sri Lanka when Shubman Gill tried to break the shackles by stepping out, but missed a skiddy delivery keeping low and saw his off-stump being rattled.
