That could have been something going in Sri Lanka’s favour, but it just couldn’t stick in Dasun Shanaka’s hands at cover as Saud Shakeel tried to play an inside-out shot. 
 
Dropped!! Oh Dushan Hemantha, what have you done here? This should have been gobbled up easily. Gets both his hands to the ball, but is just not able to get ahold of it. Hemantha was the same player who caught a ripper to get rid of Abdullah Shafique.
