 With the impressive Lankan victory on Friday, the visitors were hit with yet another injury scare when all rounder Angelo Mathews - one of the main architects of the win - became a subject of scrutiny before the third ODI at the same venue in Nagpur on Monday.
Mathews’ match readiness was a matter of concern to the Lankan camp. He pulled a muscle while running between the wickets on Friday and had to bat along with a runner late in his innings.
Sri Lankan team manager Brendon Kuruppu said the fitness of Mathews, who used a runner late in his innings, can be assessed only after 24 hours. "We don’t know exactly what has happened to him”.
At the very first instance left arm medium fast bowler Thilan Thushara Mirando flew back home after an injury. Then Thushara’s replacement Ranga Dilhara Fernando too flew back home with veteran off spinner Muttiah Muralitharan -both sustaining finger injuries.
