Sri Lanka A vs India A, 1st Match, Tri Nation A Series in Sri Lanka 2026 - Player HighlightsSLA vs INDA, 1st Match, Tri Nation A Series in Sri Lanka 2026 - Player Highlights

Arshad Khan to Mohamed Shiraz, out Caught by Vipraj Nigam!! India A have pulled off a heist. They have bounced back towards the end overs and registered an impressive win. Sri Lanka were in the driver's seat in the last 2 overs, but Arshad Khan has bowled an excellent over. This is the third wicket of the over. One was a run-out, but Arshad Khan has taken two of those three wickets. He is pumped up and rightly so. Was a length ball on the pads and Shiraz whipped it towards deep mid-wicket. Vipraj Nigam with a stunning diving catch in the deep to draw curtains to the game. Mohamed Shiraz c Vipraj Nigam b Arshad Khan 0(3)

Arshad Khan to Mohamed Shiraz, no run, on a length outside off, Mohamed Shiraz goes for a drive and misses

Arshad Khan to Mohamed Shiraz, out Wanuja Sahan Run Out!! Comedy of errors and Sri Lanka are nine down. Mohamed Shiraz had chipped this past the bowler’s dive, and Wanuja sets off for a single. Gaikwad moves across from mid-wicket, collects the ball watchfully and takes off the bails with the batsman way down the wicket. That's a suicidal run-out because Wanuja looked in good touch and he was Sri Lanka's last hope. No idea what was Wanuja doing there. Anyway, India need only wicket more to win this match. Wanuja Sahan run out (Ruturaj Gaikwad) 23(16) [4s-3]

Arshad Khan to V Viyaskanth, out Lbw!! Another one bites the dust. That was a good length delivery from round the wicket and Vijayakanth Viyaskanth tried to whip it away. Gets beaten and rapped on the pads. The bowler was charging to collect the ball, but the keeper was appealing, and up went the umpire's finger. This match is not over yet. Sri Lanka need 9 runs in 10 balls, only 2 wickets remaining though. V Viyaskanth lbw b Arshad Khan 5(4)
