Where his regular ODI batting average is 23.38 and strike rate 93.14, he averages 12.06 against legbreak bowlers, and strikes at 82.27 against them. In this match, he got out to <a href="https://www.espncricinfo.com/cricketers/rashid-khan-793463" target="_blank">Rashid Khan</a>, unsurprisingly. But before he got out himself - bowled for 5 by a fast legbreak that he had tried to sweep - he also contributed to the dismissal of Kusal Mendis, earlier in that Rashid over. Shanaka had struck the ball aerially back at the bowler, who dropped the catch, but had the ball deflect into the non-striker's stumps before Mendis could get his bat back down in the crease.-Cricinfo</blockquote>
