UAE vs SL LIVE score
Wanindu Hasaranga has been brilliant today. The spinner has returned with figures of 3/8 in 4 overs
WICKET! The googly has done it again. Hasaranga just bowls that touch back of the length, moving into the right-hander as Kashif Daud tries to drag that to the on side but misses the ball and it hits his back leg. The Sri Lankan team appeals and the umpire raises his finger. The batter is undone for 0 as UAE lose 7 now
WICKET! Dasun Shanaka joins the party. He might have failed with the bat today but picks up a wicket on the second ball that he bowls. Bowls it touch fuller, around the middle stump channel as Basil Hameed tries to flick that away but is deceived with the pace and gives an easy catch to Dhananjaya at mid-wicket. He goes for 2 off 6 and UAE are 30/5
WICKET! Make it three. Wickets are tumbling here. Chameera has another one. Chundangapoyil Rizwan is deceived with the pace and plays that in the air. The fielder stationed at mid off takes a good catch to send the batter packing
Chameera has two wickets in that over. He first removed Waseem and has now cleaned up Aryan Lakra. UAE are 17/2 after 3 overs
After 20 overs,Sri Lanka 152/8 ( Pramod Madushan 1 , Dushmantha Chameera 1)
Meiyappan rattled the Sri Lanka batting order after he bagged a hat-trick. The Lankan Lions were eventually restricted to 152/8 in 20 overs
WICKET! You needed something special to end that knock. Pathum Nissnaka departs for 74 off 60, courtesy a stunner from Basil Hameed. Zahoor bowled a fuller one, just outside off and Nissanka tried to go over the mid off region and hit it in the air. Hameed ran towards his left and put in a perfect dive to send the batter back in the hut. Zahoor gets his second wicket of the over
A four to follow that six. Pathum Nissanka is playing his strokes. He first hammered a maximum to square leg boundary and has now hit a fout over mid off
Karthik Meiyappan has bagged a hat-trick here. He first removed Rajapaksa who was caught at deep extra cover for 5 off 8 while trying to go for the inside out stroke, then dismissed Asalanka who edged a ball moving away from him to the wicket-keeper. Dasun Shanaka was the third one to be sent back as the spinner breached his defence with a brilliant googly that went through the gates
That’s a HUGE wicket. Dhananjaya de Silva who was looking in some brilliant touch has to depart. That was a huge mix up between the two batters. Pathum Nissanka tapped one to the off side and De Silva went for the run while Nissanka didn’t move. Dhananjaya through tried to go back into the crease but had fallen short
After 11 overs,Sri Lanka 92/1 ( Pathum Nissanka 40 , Dhananjaya de Silva 33)
Sri Lanka vs UAE Live
Dhananjaya de Silva has looked in some brilliant touch today. He is scoring runs at a brisk pace and is not shying away from taking his chances
As far as this group is concerned, Netherlands have won both their games and are sitting at the helm in the points table followed by Namibia who defeated Sri Lanka in the first match at second. Sri Lanka are fourth placed at the moment as UAE have a better NRR
SIX! Pathum Nissanka shows his class and slog sweeps a tossed up delivery for a maximum over deep mid-wicket boundary. Sri Lanka have come out with a different approach. They want to score runs quickly. The way this group has worked so far, NRR will play a crucial role in further qualification
WICKET! Just when these two batters were looking dangerous, UAE have got the breakthrough. Kusal Mendis has been trapped in front of the stumps by Aryan Lakra for 18 off 13
The two Sri Lankan openers are dealing in boundaries at the moment. They have provided the side with a solid start and are scoring runs at almost 10 an over
