David Willey: David Willey continues to wreak havoc in the third consecutive match, breaking the dream of this Sri Lankan batsman, David Willey gives excellent performance in straight third match against Sri Lanka

England vs Sri Lanka 2nd ODI: In the second match of the ODI series at ‘The Oval’ ground, England bowlers once again stunned the Sri Lankan batsmen. In the second ODI, all-rounder Sam Curran rocked with 5 wickets, while the player supporting him is no less brilliant. We are talking about 31-year-old all-rounder David Willey. This left-arm pacer has bowled splendidly in the third consecutive international match. Not only this, he also broke his dream by dismissing the Sri Lankan batsman close to the century.

In the second ODI, after winning the toss, England called Sri Lanka to bat first. Sam Curran had dismissed the top three batsmen within 12 runs but the fourth-ranked batsman Dhananjay de Silva stayed on the pitch. This batsman had scored 91 runs in 90 balls and he was fast moving towards the first century of his career, but then on the third ball of the 35th over, Willie got him caught by Joe Root. With this, the dream of Dhananjay’s first century was shattered.

Apart from this, David Willey also did not allow Dasun Shanaka to score a half-century. When Shanaka was playing on 47, Willie got him caught by Sam Curran. Along with destroying the good innings of these two batsmen, Willie also showed the way to the pavilion for Charith Aslanka (3) and Binura Fernando. Willie made 1 maiden in 10 overs in this match and took 4 wickets while conceding 64 runs.

In the third consecutive match
