Unadkat's final over snatched the game from India's hands

Both Jaydev Unadkat and Shardul Thakur put in shocking performances with the ball on the day. While the latter was taken to the cleaners by Perera in the initial phase of the chase, the former was ripped apart by the 'other' Perera (Thisara) in its final stages.

Thakur was belted for as many as 27 runs in his first over, while Unadkat was slammed for 16 in his final. The seam-bowling duo gave away 77 runs in just 6.3 overs, with a combined bowling economy of 11.85!

When you're defending a below-par total against a home team, a sub-standard effort like this from your fast bowlers is just not good enough.
