Sri Lanka vs England, 3rd ODI
Posted October 9th, 2007 by Nanda No Comments »
In a low scoring thriller, England edged out Sri Lanka to win by 2 wickets and take a 2-1 lead in the 5 match ODI series. After electing to bat first, Sri Lanka never started off well and kept losing wickets. Tillekeratne Dilshan was the only player in the entire match who figured out the pitch. His 70 from only 84 balls saved Sri Lanka from an embarrassing total.
Ryan Sidebottom and Stuart Broad ripped through the top order to leave Sri Lanka gasping at 42-4. Swann then did the rest of the damage as he destroyed the middle order and the tail leaving Dilshan out of partners, before he too was dismissed with the score on 164.
