Lasith Embuldeniya dismissed Kraigg Brathwaite with an absolute peach of a delivery spinning from outside the leg stump. Brathwaite leaned forward to defend the ball, but he was beaten all hands up, and the ball spun sharply to hit the stumps to dismiss the batsman, who scored 72 runs.

Hit-wicket is considered as one of the most unfortunate ways to get out in cricket, and Dhananjaya de Silva is the latest addition to the list as he lost his wicket in a bizarre fashion. The Sri Lankan attempted to stop the ball from hitting the stumps, and accidentally hit the bails in the process.

According to reports, Sri Lanka cricketer Angelo Mathews is interested to make a comeback for the national squad and the all-rounder has mailed Sri Lanka Cricket of his intentions to do so. Sri Lanka Cricket will take a final decision on the matter at a meeting on Tuesday, October 13.

South Africa skipper Temba Bavuma rued the fact that his side did not ‘hit the straps’ at the death with the ball, and reckoned that leaking 66 runs off the final 4 overs put the Proteas on the backfoot. Bavuma also claimed that, barring de Kock, the batsmen failed to make use of the conditions.
