End of over 19 (12 runs) Sri Lanka 127/8 (RR: 6.68)

KMDN Kulasekara3 (4b 0x4 0x6)
PVD Chameera1 (1b 0x4 0x6)
R Ashwin4-0-26-2
JJ Bumrah4-0-27-2
18.6
Ashwin to Kulasekara, 1 run, full delivery on middle, off the leading edge towards cover
 

Replays show Perera had make his ground. Poor umpiring not to go for the third umpire

 
18.5
Ashwin to Chameera, 1 run, legspinner outside off, worked away to deep midwicket
18.5
Ashwin to Perera, 1 wide, OUT, lovely bowling. Sees Perera advancing and bowls it very slow but very wide outside off. So wide that it is called a wide. Perera comes down but fails to connect with a big heave, wrong shot selection to that ball. But Dhoni whips off the bails in a jiffy and the umpire doesn't need the help of his upstairs colleague.

NLTC Perera st †Dhoni b Ashwin 17 (6b 2x4 1x6) SR: 283.33
18.4
Ashwin to Kulasekara, 1 leg bye, slower on middle and leg, Kulasekara misses his sweep but they sprint a leg bye
18.3
Ashwin to Perera, 1 run, very wide outside off, Perera made the mistake of giving himself a bit of room. He toe-ended in the air towards deep cover for one
18.2
Ashwin to Perera, SIX, phew, that is massive. Perera uses all his power after getting close enough to the pitch with a shimmy. Ashwin tosses it up but Perera comes down and slogs it away over midwicket. Gigantic
18.1
Ashwin to Kulasekara, 1 run, cracked away to deep midwicket. Slow and Kulasekara got down low to sweep powerfully
 

Ashwin to bowl the penultimate.

Yaseen: "With that run out of Shanaka, India has forced a run out in all of its matches in the Asia Cup this year so far.."
