Lakmal bowled with great heart

It’s not easy tying down de Kock and Hashim Amla in the power play but the Sri Lankan pacers Lakmal and Pradeep bowled with great heart and kept both the batsmen at bay with nagging line and length.

The quickies took only three wickets between them but the numbers don’t tell the whole story. If Lasith Malinga hadn’t dropped that simple catch off Faf du Plessis off Pradeep’s bowling, things could have been different.

However, the Lankan management would be mighty pleased with the duo’s effort in the game and they would expect nothing less from these two promising bowlers in future games.
