#2 Miss: Indian opening pair

While Sharma has struggled to get going at the top of the order in this series, Dhawan has been in excellent form over the last couple of months.
However, both the Indian openers failed to fire on the day and their immediate dismissals put the visitors under serious pressure within the first four overs of the game. While Sharma was dismissed after scoring 11 runs off 7 deliveries, Dhawan returned to the pavilion with just 8 runs to his name.
Akila Dananjaya was the bowler to scalp the wickets of the Indian openers, and their departure put India in a spot of bother at 22 for 2 after 3.1 overs.
