#4 Mustafizur finds rhythm on comeback

Mustafizur came good on his comeback but had little to show for in the wickets column

Mustafizur Rehman looked like he had been practising hard before this game as he hit the ground running in terms of rhythm. The left arm seamer kept things tight and barely gave anything away in tidy spells.

He had Dinesh Chandimal caught at gully after a 54 ball 5. Mustafizur found his cutters drawing edges but none of them carried to fieldsmen. His accuracy was also top notch and it kept a check on the scoring rate against a fluent Kusal Mendis.

His off-cutters and extra bounce troubled the Lankan batsmen, and he was unlucky to get only one wicket in the day's play. Mendis, in particular, appeared fidgety against the young seamer but managed to stay afloat.
