Steve Smith’s sharp reflection leads to the firing of Abishka Fernando

Aaron Hardy Early in his first over, he rejected Fernando, only one with a delivery behind the indicated length, extracted from the surface. The ball pitched away from the stump and disappeared late, pushing Fernando into an indecisive push without any major foot movements. Enraged in two minds, he tried to move his hands away from his body and not play the ball with confidence, but to feel it. The slow movement found the thick outer edge of his bat, and the ball flew quickly towards the slip cordon at difficult heights.

Stationed on the second slip, Smith responded instinctively as the ball moved faster to his left. Instead of sticking to it, he stayed low, allowing the ball to come to him, allowing him to control as he fished. His soft hands absorbed the impact and prevented the ball from popping out during contact. The sharp reflective glove highlighted Smith’s incredible expectations and safe hands, strengthening his reputation as one of the best slip fielders in cricket the world.

Fernando, unable to cover the move, could only be seen in disappointment as Smith easily completed his fire. Wickett struggled Sri Lanka in 6/2, giving Australia an early advantage. Hardy’s disciplined lines and ability to extract movements proved important, but Smith’s quick response prevented the opportunity from being wasted.
