Jayasuriya 14th batsman to be left stranded on 99
Rajneesh Gupta - 5 August 2001
Sanath Jayasuriya became the second Sri Lankan and 14th batsman in ODI
history to be left stranded on 99 when he spooned a simple catch to
his Indian counterpart off the bowling of Shewag in the final of the
Coca- Cola Cup. The only other Sri Lankan to suffer this fate is
Romesh Kaluwitharana. This was also the fourth such instance against
India.
Of the 14 batsmen who have missed their hundred by just one run, five
remained unbeaten as either the innings was completed or the target
was achieved.
