Sonal Dinusha scores unbeaten 133 as Sri Lanka draw second Test
Sonal Dinusha scores an unbeaten 133 to secure a draw and prevent an India series whitewash in Colombo.
Sri Lanka's Sonal Dinusha scored an unbeaten 133 as the hosts reached 429 for nine on the final day to draw the second Test in Colombo. The left-hander's third century of the series denied India a 2-0 series sweep.
Dinusha had already scored hundreds in Galle and Colombo earlier in the series. His latest innings kept Sri Lanka's second-innings total competitive after India enforced the follow-on.
India finished the two-Test series 1-0 winners but missed the chance to improve their World Test Championship points. Dinusha has now played five Tests and established himself as Sri Lanka's most reliable middle-order batter.
CricHubb Take
The series result leaves India still needing wins in New Zealand to strengthen their WTC final prospects, while Sri Lanka can point to a single batter who repeatedly blunted their attack.
