1st ODI: Wellalage, Asalanka & Hasaranga Star As India-SL Series Opener Ends In A Dramatic Tie
But Sri Lanka: Dunith Wellalage chipped with an all-round performance – 67 not out and 2-39, while captain Charith Asalanka and Wanindu Hasaranga took three wickets each to ensure the first ODI between India and Sri Lanka ended in a tie at the R. Premadasa Stadium on Friday.
On a pitch that aided spinners, Sri Lanka were in trouble at 101/5, and it seemed they would suffer another batting collapse. But Wellalage stepped up to hit seven fours and two sixes in his 67 not out off 65 balls, where he mixed smartness with solid cricketing shots.
He also shared three crucial partnerships of 41, 36 and 46 with Janith Liyanage, Wanindu Hasaranga and Akila Dananjaya respectively to give Sri Lanka a fighting total of 230/8. In reply, India had a flying start, thanks to Rohit Sharma's blazing 58.
