It also broke Sri Lanka's 13-match winning streak in one-day internationals (ODIs) 바카라 the second-longest streak in the history of the format.
But a sterling all-round performance from the 20-year-old Dunith Wellalage almost put paid to India바카라s plans. The left-arm spinner first scalped a five-wicket haul, and then stayed unbeaten on 42 to almost single-handedly keep the hosts in the contest.
Lauding Wellalage바카라s incredible performance, former India opener Gautam Gambhir called it an 바카라India Vs Wellalage match바카라.
"For me, more than his bowling, his batting was exceptionally well done under pressure. Overall, nobody as young as 20 years has ever bowled this way against a strong team like this. Today, it was an India Vs Wellalage match," Gambhir said.
Former India all-rounder Irfan Pathan too weighed in. 바카라Man of the Match is someone who throughout the match shows his skills. Be it with bat or ball. Today, Wellalage faced daunting players with 30,000 runs, he dismissed top players like Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, KL Rahul, Shubman Gill and with finesse.바카라
Irfan added: 바카라Lastly, the final catch against Hardik Pandya was outstanding. He used such variations in skills and took complete advantage of all the existing conditions. Showing this at just the age of 20, against an Indian player who took 5 wickets in a single match, shows great promise.바카라
At the same time, Irfan praised India바카라s showing in the Asia Cup (matches can be viewed free on mobile on Disney + Hotstar) so far.
바카라It was an absolutely superb performance to watch today. India have secured two victories. The one against Pakistan was easy, and the other one was hard-fought against Sri Lanka. I think that when you fight so hard and then win, you become a much better team, you move forward by fixing your mistakes,바카라 Irfan said.
바카라In that respect, Team India must be very happy. Now, the confidence of the fans in the upcoming World Cup will also be very noticeable,바카라 he added.
