The 24-year-old Fernando was unable to provide his side with a good start in the match. He smashed some good boundaries but was only able to contribute 20 runs off 17 balls, with 4 fours, before being knocked over by Siraj in the 6th over.
On the final delivery of the 6th over, Siraj bowled a length ball outside off-stump that shaped back in sharply after pitching. The Sri Lanka batter went for a big cover drive but ended up inside edging the ball onto his stumps.
