Fine catch at deep mid-wicket diving forward ends Sahibzada Farhan's innings. Low full-toss on middle whipped away and it's a flat hit, dipping on Arachchige who judges it well and takes it with two-hands. Cushions the ball after the dive and comes up with it after getting up. End of a superb knock. Sahibzada Farhan c Sahan Arachchige b Nuwan Thushara 89(53) [4s-10 6s-4]
Nuwan Thushara to Sahibzada Farhan, SIX
what a shot. The shot of the game so far. It's a slower-ball and short outside off, Sahibzada Farhan goes on the back foot and flat-bats it. You need the arms of a WWE wrestler for that shot. And Sahibzada though not at that level, shows what he is made of as he powers it all the way over deep extra-cover. Landed on the cushions and Sahibzada has a smile on his face. He certainly enjoyed that
