Some dramatic batting by Angelo Mathews enabled Sri Lanka to post a competitive 187 for six in the second T20 against Afghanistan at Dambulla on Monday.
The former captain was doubtful for the game in the afternoon complaining about tightness in his hamstring, and had to undergo a fitness test.
But the all-rounder smashed four sixes including three in a row in the penultimate over bowled by Azmatullah Omarzai.
