Umran Malik Fastest Delivery: Fast & Furious Umran Malik BRINGS the HEAT on…

The early stutter continued for Lanka as Mavi struck again in his next over to dismiss Dhananjaya De Silva. Hardik Pandya too kept the heat on from the other end with inswingers and outswingers. While he did not get any wickets, he put SriLanka top-order under pressure with the new ball.
After the powerplay, Umran Malik (2/27) and Harshal Patel (2/41) also kept chipping away with wickets. However, with Dasun Shanaka and Wanindu Hasaranga adding 40 runs off 23 balls, the match tilted in SriLanka’s favour.
But Umran Malik came to India’s rescue. He bowled a 155KPH delivery to dismiss Shanaka. Mavi bagged two more wickets to put SriLanka in more trouble. However, Chamika Karunaratne smashed Harshal for 16 runs in the 19th over to keep hopes alive for the visitors. With SriLanka needing 13 runs to win in the last over, Hardik Pandya made a gamble. He gave the ball to Axar Patel to defend.
However, despite getting hit for a six on the 1st delivery, Axar made a fine comeback. He leaked just 10 runs as India claimed a narrow 2-rin win.
