Video: Danushka Gunathilaka Given Out 'Obstructing The Field' In 1st ODI

Sri Lanka opener Danushka Gunathilaka became the first Sri Lankan player and only the eighth in the history of ODI cricket to be given out for obstructing the field. It happened during the first match

This is the first instance of a batsman being given out for obstructing the field in international cricket since December 8, 2019 when USA's Xavier Marshall, who has also played for the West Indies between 2005 and 2009, was sent back against the UAE in Sharjah during an ICC World Cup League 2 match.

It is also the first instance of a dismissal of this nature in a bilateral ODI series since September 5, 2015 when England's Ben Stokes was given out against Australia at Lord's in London.
