In 1996, this match was played on today’s day i.e. 7th April. Sri Lankan opener Sanath Jayasuriya had created a rage in this match with his bat which was never seen again, but his price was so bad that even after scoring a half-century in just 17 balls, he gave his team a slight Failed to reach the goal Come, let’s know the whole story.

Jayasuriya chased down the target of 216 runs as soon as he landed on the ground. He hit a half-century off just 17 balls. The interesting thing in all of this is that when his fellow opener batsman Romesh Kaluvitarna had run 70 runs on the scoreboard by the time he opened the account without opening. This was the storm of Jayasuriya’s batting. Jayasuriya continued to rain fours and sixes, extending the stormy innings after the half-century. He was dismissed for 76 runs off 28 balls.
