England suffered an early setback at the Pallekele International Cricket Stadium as a moment of brilliance in the field from\u00a0Dasun Shanaka<\/a><\/strong> turned the tide in Sri Lanka\u2019s favour.<\/p>\n The incident occurred in the eighth over when Dushmantha Chameera fired in a sharp yorker to Tom Banton. The right-hander could only jam it towards mid-off, and in a split second, he set off for a risky single.<\/p>\n What followed was pure fielding excellence as\u00a0Sri Lankan captain Shanaka charged in from mid-off, collected the ball cleanly, and unleashed a perfect throw at the bowler\u2019s end. With all three stumps to aim at, the Sri Lankan skipper nailed a direct hit. Even Banton\u2019s desperate dive couldn\u2019t save him as he was caught short of his crease. With his side already struggling after a top-order collapse, it was not a wise decision by the English batter.<\/p>\n Watch Shanaka\u2019s brilliant throw here-<\/strong><\/p>\n Get every cricket updates! <\/span>Follow Us:<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n
