Nuwan Kulasekara bagged a four-for as Sri Lanka Legends swatted aside Australia Legends by 38 runs in the third match of the Road Safety World Series (RSWS) 2022 at the Green Park, Kanpur on Sunday.
Belligerent knocks by Tillakaratne Dilshan and Dilshan Munaweera helped Sri Lanka Legends post a mammoth 218/1 after opting to bat first. In reply, Australia Legends were bowled-out for 180 runs in 18 overs.
The Australia Legends started their chase of the mammoth target on a positive note with opener Shane Watson (39) and Cameron White (30) cobbling up a 75-run partnership for the first wicket.
However, their wickets in successive overs dented their start as they kept losing wickets at regular intervals and eventually bundled out for 180 runs in 18 overs. Nathan Reardon (46* off 19) did show some fightback at the backend but he got absolutely no support from the other edge.
The right-arm quick Nuwan Kulasekara was the chief annihilator with the ball as he bagged four wickets while conceding 36 runs in his four overs quota. Apart from Kulasekara, Chaturanga de Silva and Jeevan Mendis also grabbed two wickets each.
