Ojha scalps three, Indian bowlers put up better show
COLOMBO, July 15: Indian bowlers put up an improved performance to restrict Sri Lanka Board President’s XI to 260 for six in their second innings in the three-day warm up game which ended in a tame draw on Friday.
After disappointing with both ball and bat for the last two days, the Indian bowlers gave a better account of themselves with left arm spinner Pragyan Ojha being the notable performer with three for 85 in his 22 overs.
The Hyderabad spinner was assisted by leg-spinner Amit Mishra, Virender Sehwag and pacer Ishant Sharma — all taking one wicket each.
For the hosts, opener Lahiru Thirimanne scored 102 and top order batsman Dinesh Chandimal (69) chipped in with a useful contribution but the rest of the batting line-up failed to impress.
