Lasith Malinga and Thisara perera makes it easy with ball and bat for the Srilankan's to win the onlyt20 match against England at the oval on tuesday.
England won the toss and Morgan decided to field first. Gurney playing his debut match and Jordan took early wickets of Dilshan and Kushala Perera and put lankans into pressure but slowly Vithanage and Lahiru thirimanne put down a partnership of 54 runs from 37 balls which took out the pressure and later Woakes sent Vithange to the pavilion. Dinesh Chandimal again disappointed with a single digit score of 7. Then comes Angelo Mathews, who put a partnership of 37 runs from 27 deliveries with Thirimanne and returns back very quickly without entertaining the audience in his style.
Now comes the crucial man, Thisara Perera. The score was 122 for the loss of 5 wickets at the end of 15th over. the england bowlers could not expect a score more than 150 as thirmanne was a bit tired. Its time for Thisara Perera who showed what he is capable of. He slammed the balls that he faced and scored 49 of just 20 deliveries which includes 7 boundaries and 2 sixes. It was woakes and perera started his account by hitting a Four and a Six in that over. Then Jordan makes it tough as he conceded only 4 runs in his over. Gurney in his next over took the wicket of thirimanne which was delightful for england but perera did not care about that and hit two fours in his over. the 18th over was the biggest of the innings which was of Jordan. Perera smashed 4 Fours and a Six in the 19th over which added 22 runs to their score board. and the last over was bowled by Gurney who conceded 9 runs in that over and perera was out in the last ball.
The total score was 183/7.
Its time now for England for chasing. Carberry and Alex Hales came down and Nuwan Khulasekhara started the innings with the ball. Angelo Mathews got the wicket of Carberry which was very exciting for the lankans as its the england pitch. then comes Ian Bell who is playing his international t20 after 3 years. both put down a partnership of 36 runs from 25 balls and Bell returns very soon with a score of 13 from 17 balls as Malinga is into the action. Joe Root And the skipper Eon Morgan returns very quick to the pavilion as the lankan bowlers are showing their bowling tricks which are not working on hales.
Now comes Jos Buttler who joined Alex hales and both of them were hitting in it looked as if it was a power play. they scored 39 runs in just 24 deliveries and got the game into their hands but very soon Khulsaekhara was brought into attavk which worked it out for the lankans. he sent buttler back who scored 26 runs from 16 deliveries which included 4 Fours. and the game came into the hands of lankans. Malinga made it easy for the Lankans. he sent Alex Hales in the very next over who was the only batsmen who fought from the start of the innings. He scored 66 from just 41 balls which included 7 Fours and 2 big Sixes. RAvi Bopara came in the end and fought well with his 28 of 15 deliveries with a six and 3 Fours but couldn't make it out for england.
And the Sri Lankans prooved once again that they are the world t20 champions.
