Mohammed Siraj Takes Three Wickets in Seven Deliveries, Putting Sri Lanka on the Back Foot.
During Sri Lanka’s run chase in the ICC World Cup 2023, Mohammed Siraj struck twice in his opening over. The field umpire ruled him out after he first found Dimuth Karunaratne in front of the wickets. He attempted and failed a DRS.
Using DRS, Sadeera Samarawickrama was able to reverse the LBW call on Sirja’s ball, but Shreyas Iyer caught him that same over. A double wicket maiden was bowled by the pacer. Kusal Mendis was clean bowled by Siraj in his second over.
Pathum Nissanka was earlier removed by Jasprit Bumrah on the opening ball of the Lanklan chase.
