Sadira Samarawickrama and Rahmat Shah
The one-off Test match series between Sri Lanka and Afghanistan has started from today. This match between the two teams is being played at the Singhalese Cricket Ground in Colombo. In this match, host Sri Lanka decided to bowl first after winning the toss and they bundled out the Afghan team at the score of 198 in the first innings. During this, Sri Lankan wicketkeeper Sadira Samarawickrama took a catch of Afghanistan player Rahmat Shah which cannot even be imagined. Rahmat made the maximum contribution of 91 runs in the first innings of the Afghan team.
Rehmat became the victim of Sadira’s cunning.
In this match, the Afghanistan team, which came to bat first, did not have a good start and they lost their first wicket at the score of zero. After this, Rahmat Shah, who came to bat at number 3, started the process of scoring runs by handling the innings from one end. However, the sequence of wickets falling at regular intervals from the other end continued. While Rahmat was moving towards his century, but due to the cleverness of the Sri Lankan team’s wicketkeeper Sadira Samarawickrama, he had to return to the pavilion on the score of 91 runs. Rahmat Shah tried to play a sweep shot on Prabhat Jayasuriya’s ball but Sadira had already read his thoughts and went towards the leg stump, after which the ball went straight into Sadira’s gloves and Rahmat Shah had to return to the pavilion disappointed.
Vishwa Fernando showed wonders with the ball
While the first innings of the Afghanistan team was limited to 198 runs, the bowling performance of Sri Lanka was witnessed by Vishwa Fernando, who took 4 wickets while giving only 24 runs in 14.4 overs. Apart from this, Asita Fernando and Prabhat Jayasuriya also took 3 wickets each. Afghanistan has given four players a chance to make their Test debut in this match.
