In this match, the Sri Lankan team won the toss and scored 230 runs for the loss of 8 wickets in the stipulated 50 overs. Among the Sri Lankan batsmen, Dunit Vellale (67 not out; 7 fours, 2 sixes in 65 balls) and opener Pathum Nissanka (56; 9 fours in 75 balls) scored half-centuries. Among the Indian bowlers, Arshdeep Singh and Akshar Patel took two wickets each. Dube, Siraj, Kuldeep Yadav and Washington Sundar took a wicket each.
Rohit Sharma : Did you notice this in the first ODI? Rohit is serious about Washington Sundar on the ground.
India then came into the ring with a target of 231 runs. Opener Rohit Sharma (58; 7 fours, 3 sixes off 47 balls) scored a half-century. Despite the Lankan bowlers taking wickets at successive intervals, India made 230 runs for the loss of 8 wickets in 47.3 overs with KL Rahul (31), Akshar Patel (33) and Shivam Dube (25) doing well. If we score one run with 15 balls left, we will win. With two wickets in hand and Shivam Dube at the crease, everyone thought that India would win easily.

However.. Lankan captain Charit Asalanka did magic. He dismissed Shivam Dube and Arshdeep Singh in consecutive balls. He prevented India from winning. A low pitched ball hits the pads. Immediately the Lankan players appealed to LB and the umpire gave a not out. At this time, Dube and Siraj completed the run. But Lankan captain Charit Asalanka went for review. The review revealed that Dube was out as an LB.

As Dube got out, the excitement in the match increased. One run to be scored in 14 balls. Arshdeep Singh came into the crease. However.. even if he takes a single, he defends the remaining three balls of that over, there will be no loss. Siraj would have taken a single in the next over. However.. I don’t know why he thought of himself as a regular batsman.. Arshdeep thought to end the match with a six. Played a huge shot.. but the ball didn’t touch his bat. Touched the pad. The Lankan players appealed and the umpire gave out within seconds. Arshdeep went to the review for no profit.
Netizens are blaming Arshdeep Singh that he played an unnecessary shot and could have taken a single. Trolling is being done on a large scale in social media. Netizens are commenting that Topu felt like a batter and went for the shot.. Now look. However, some others are supporting Arshdeep. They say that it would have been better if others along with Dube had played more responsibly and it is not right to criticize Arshdeep.
