Currently, the first ODI match between Sri Lanka and India is being played at the R. Premadasa Stadium in Colombo. In this match, Sri Lanka won the toss and decided to bat first. However, their decision has not proved right yet and the team has lost its first wicket.

Sri Lanka was lucky that Mohammad Siraj dropped the catch of Pathum Nissanka on Arshdeep Singh’s ball. All this happened in the eighth over of Sri Lanka’s innings. Arshdeep Singh bowled a swinging ball on the pad of Pathum Nissanka on which the Sri Lankan batsman played a flick shot. The ball went towards long on. Mohammad Siraj also came forward running to catch the ball.

The ball came into Mohammad Siraj’s hand but as soon as he fell on the ground, the ball slipped from his hand and Nissanka got a big lifeline. Arshdeep Singh also praised Mohammad Siraj by clapping for his efforts, although Mohammad Siraj looked very disappointed that he failed to catch the ball.
