Tri-Nation Tournament in Bangladesh - 2nd match

India v Sri Lanka

Sri Lanka won by 5 wickets (with 12 balls remaining)

31.1

Perera to Dhoni, no run, smacked away hard, square of the wicket, but straight to point

31.2

Perera to Dhoni, OUT, he has got him this time, the partnership stays at 99. Slightly loose shot, sees a short delivery, throws his bat at it, gets a thick outside edge - perhaps because it's too close to him - and Sangakkara takes a good diving catch to his right. What a first wicket for Perera

MS Dhoni c †Sangakkara b Perera 37 (85m 70b 3x4 0x6) SR: 52.85

31.3

Perera to Raina, no run, angled across him, defended towards point

31.4

Perera to Raina, 1 run, gets off the mark by bunting one towards midwicket

31.5

Perera to Yuvraj Singh, no run, powerful cut shot, but straight to point

31.6

Perera to Yuvraj Singh, no run, big shout for lbw, not given, Yuvraj is lucky here, the pitches just inside the mat, straightens a touch, and was going onto hit the leg stump. To make it worse for Sri Lanka, they missed a direct hit that could have run Raina out, who was wanting a leg-bye but was sent back
