Mahedi dismisses centurion Gill

Bangladesh off-spinner Sheikh Mahedi Hasan managed to pick up the all-important wicket of centurion Shubman Gill to have a strong foothold in the game in their Asia Cup Super Four contest against India at the R.Premadasa Stadium in Colombo on Friday.

Gill, who looked to be taking the game away from the Tigers, smashed five sixes and eight fours for his 133-ball 121-run knock before he was held out at long-off. He went after a lobbed delivery that was pitched well outside off, making him reach for it. The ball also extracted some extra and Gill could only find Towhid Hridoy at long-off.
