#4 Manodara and Lokusuriyage’s crucial stand of 76 for the sixth wicket
Batting order’s failure to contribute in the crucial moments has been a key factor for Sri Lanka’s dismal performance in this world cup. And half way through the Sri Lankan innings it seemed to the same old story getting repeated.
After 26 overs, Sri Lanka had lost half of their side and the score was just 98. But then Dilani Manodara and Eshani Lokusuriyage stitched a vital partnership to repair the damage. The two looked scratchy in the beginning but as the innings progressed they batted with confidence and milked runs in the middle overs.
Asmavia Iqbal broke this partnership in the 43rd over by picking up Lokusuriyage’s wicket but by that time Sri Lanka had reached 174 runs with this partnership adding 76 runs for the sixth wicket.
