low full-toss and hits it over midwicket.
Singapore vs SL U-23s, Group B at Singapore, Aug 21 2013 - Ball by Ball Commentary
Singapore are going to look back and feel they could have won this, bowled very well to restrict Sri Lanka to 191 with Shoib Razzak outstanding with 4-16 and ably supported by the rest of his team-mates. Going into bat, Singapore just couldn't find the gaps for the ones and twos often enough against the disciplined Sri Lankans and if any other batsman could have played at the rate of Anish Param (62* off 83) Singapore would have won easily. Chance missed by them, Sri Lanka U-23s are through to the semi-finals on Friday. Man of the Match today is Udara Jayasundera of Sri Lanka.
Thanks for following both matches of the Asian Cricket Council Emerging Teams Cup today, we're back from Singapore tomorrow with Afghanistan v India U-23 in a game that Afghanistan must win if they are to have a chance of progressing to the semi-finals and Bangladesh U-23 v UAE, the winner of which progresses through to the semis. We look forward to welcoming you back then.

full, on middle, driven back on the bounce to the bowler, batsman thumps his pad in frustration
