Some serious hitting by Sanath Jayasuriya.This knock is the fastest 20/twenty half century(50 Runs) another fantastic knock.
The Kolkata rain ruined Sanath Jayasuriya's parade as the opening game of India's four-match one-day series against Sri Lanka was abandoned after torrential rain at the Eden Gardens. Having been sent in to bat by Rahul Dravid, Sri Lanka had made 102 for 3 from 18.2 overs when a heavy drizzle forced the players off and though the rain stopped, the outfield was far too marshy to risk further play. In the time available, Jayasuriya had raced to 63 from just 61 balls.
Sanath Jayasuriya gave Sri Lanka hope of a remarkable series-levelling victory with an electrifying batting assault on the fourth afternoon at Kandy. Set an improbable target of 352, Sri Lanka raced out of the blocks with Jayasuriya plundering a brilliant 131. But Australia kept them in check with regular wickets, and struck a crucial - perhaps matchwinning - blow when Tillakaratne Dilshan fell in the fading evening light. Sri Lanka closed on 301 for 7, still needing 51 for a remarkable victory. The Jayasuriya Show continued, though, as Stuart MacGill was collared out of the attack, conceding 16 runs in the final over of an 11-over spell that leaked 65 runs. -Cricinfo
Sri Lanka now hold the highest scores in all three forms of international cricket, adding the Twenty20 peak to their Test and one-day records.
The Destructive Sanath Jayasuriya of Sri Lanka has taken apart the bowling of Andre Adams of NZ on every ocassion he has faced him.
Another low moment in India's cricket history, a match ruined by bad crowd behaviour
30 runs in an over is a remarkable feat but Sanath Jayasuriya has acheived this remarkable feat twice!
