Sri Lanka a bit on track due to Dickwella’s fast-paced innings
Nirosham Dickwella was seen batting fast from one end in the midst of Sri Lanka’s falling wickets, he completed his half-century. But, a single effort cannot lay the foundation for a big score if it is not supported by anyone from the other end.
