India capitulates under Rangana Herath spin web
In an extraordinary twist to the game, India on Saturday Aug 15,2015 capitulated to
an embarassing 63-run defeat in the first cricket Test against Sri
Lanka, who scripted one of the most remarkable turnarounds in recent
Test history.
Set a tricky victory target of 176, the listless Indians surrendered
tamely to be skittled out for their lowest score of 112 in just 49.5
over to give the islanders a 1-0 lead in the three-match series.
The Indian collapse began in the morning as Herath picked up his 22nd five-wicket haul in Test cricket. He picked up 4/24 in the first session as the visitors lost 6 wickets for only 55 runs, whilst chasing 176 to win.
The second Test is scheduled to be held at the P Sara Oval from August 20,2015
