Nidahas Trophy 2018, Sri Lanka vs India: Hits and Misses

#1 Hit: Thisara Perera

Perera stood up to his reputation of a lower-order belter in this format of the game

The Sri Lankan all-rounder gets a considerable amount of stick from the Sri Lankan fans for his consistent inconsistency on the cricket pitch. However, today he stepped up at a crucial junction of the game and took his team home with a blistering cameo with the bat at Number 7.

He scored 22 runs off just 10 deliveries and stamped his authority on the fairly inexperienced, and majorly overwhelmed, Indian bowlers. He came into the middle when Sri Lanka were in a spot of bother, where India had found a way to creep back into the game, courtesy their spin bowlers.

However, he found a way to take the attack to the opposition and grabbed the game by the scruff of its neck to take his team to victory in the 19th over of the game.
