- Junaid – Amir Spell in Middle Overs:-
After the loss of two quick wickets, Sri Lanka’s skipper Angelo Mathews walked in at 83-3. He built another solid partnership with Dickwella and both took their team past 150. Sri Lanka was very well placed at 161-3 scoring at more than five runs per over. This is where the match took a huge turn. Junaid Khan and Mohammad Amir were brought back into the attack and the duo picked four wickets, two each, for just six runs. Sri Lanka, from 161-3 soon restricted to 167-7. This was, perhaps, the biggest turning point of the match.
