Madhushanka is into the attack
Ball 1 Hit down the ground for a single
Ball 2 Wicket!! With the fine leg up, the ramp shot was always up for the taking, the bowler also knew it, he slowed the pace of the ball and Zadran still went for the ramp and handed it straight to Asitha at short fine leg. Madhushanka has his second wicket
Ball 3 Six!! That looked like above waist high, but regardless of a no-ball or not, this has been tonked for six
Ball 4 Four!! Full again and cut away past the backward point for a four
Ball 5 Short of length and Zadran could only get a single
Ball 6 12 from the over already after the wicket and the last ball will be a dot. So it will remain 12 from the over. Well, not. Seems like Sri Lanka will keep paying for sins as this has been called a no-ball
