India v Sri Lanka: Cricket World Cup 2019
4th over: Sri Lanka 17-1 (Perera 7, Fernando 0) So Bumrah follows a maiden with a wicket maiden. And so far this game is like what Graham Gooch famously said about facing New Zealand in 1990 – the World XI at one end and Ilford 2nds at the other.
And here’s Peter Gluckstein. “As you quite rightly say, SL winning the toss should make for a more even contest. So, in future World Cups, why not award the toss in every game to the lower ranked team (going into the tournament)?? Might have completely screwed England in our last two games, mind you!”
Wicket! Karunaratne c Dhoni b Bumrah 10 (SL 17-1)
Boom boom Bumrah! After nine dots, even Karunaratne gets frustrated and has a waft outside off. A bottom edge and Dhoni barely has to move.
