The Sri Lankan team could not score big in this match. The entire team collapsed for just 209 runs in 43.3 overs. This situation happened when Sri Lanka was given a good start by Pathum Nissanka and Kusal Mendis. Both of them made a partnership of 125 runs for the first wicket.

Warner helped

During the Sri Lankan innings, it rained after the 32nd over. The rain was heavy and hence the umpires had called for covers on the field. Meanwhile, the groundstaff was having trouble pulling the covers. Then Warner came forward to help and helped in bringing the covers to the pitch. This video of Warner is going viral on social media. Warner also took a brilliant catch in this match. He took a brilliant catch of Nissanka. Nissanka pulled the ball of Cummins. Standing at deep square leg, Warner ran to his left and took a brilliant diving catch.

Failed with the bat

However, Warner could not do anything special with the bat in this match. The team needed a good start but due to Warner's early dismissal the team did not get a good start. Dilshan Madhushanka showed Warner the way to the pavilion. He trapped Warner LBW on the first ball of the fourth over. Warner took review on this but he could not survive.
