Shivam Mavi to Kusal Mendis, FOUR! Pitches it up now around off stump, Kusal Mendis walks right across the stumps and chips it over mid on for a boundary, the first of this innings.

Shivam Mavi to Kusal Mendis, FOUR! Back-to-back! This is pitched up again around off and it is in the slot. Kusal Mendis keeps his shape and just punches it through extra cover for another boundary.

Shivam Mavi to Pathum Nissanka, OUT! TIMBER! Shivam Mavi gets his maiden wicket after being hit for a couple of boundaries! This is a beautiful delivery from Mavi. It is bowled on a length and around off at 134.6 kph. Pathum Nissanka looks to get on the front foot and drive it straight but the ball nips back in off the deck and beats the inside edge. The ball goes in between bat and pad to castle into the stumps. Mavi is all pumped up and rightly so. Sri Lanka lose an early wicket.

2.5
Hardik Pandya to Kusal Mendis, FOUR! Pandya goes a bit wide of the crease and angles in a full ball into the pads. Kusal Mendis gets the front leg out of the way and whips it behind square on the leg side for a boundary.

3.3
Shivam Mavi to Dhananjaya de Silva, FOUR! Easy pickings! Way too full and way too straight, de Silva flicks it fine and the ball runs away into the fine leg fence.

3.4
Shivam Mavi to Dhananjaya de Silva, FOUR! Up and over! Pitched-up delivery around off. Dhananjaya de Silva holds his shape and lofts it clinically over mid off to make it two boundaries in a row.

3.5
Shivam Mavi to Dhananjaya de Silva, OUT! CAUGHT! Shivam Mavi repeats his antics from the previous over. This is bowled a touch fuller, at 136.2 kph and angled into the pads. Dhananjaya de Silva looks to flick it aerially over mid-wicket but fails to close the face of his bat in time and ends up chipping it. The ball flies around mid on where Sanju Samson takes a simple catch. Mavi gets the last laugh as Sri Lanka lose their second wicket inside the first four overs.

4.6
Hardik Pandya to Charith Asalanka, FOUR! A bit of swing but well controlled by Asalanka, and he gets off the mark with a boundary. This is full and on leg, shaping back in. Asalanka flicks it in front of mid-wicket and the ball runs away to the fence.

5.1
Umran Malik to Kusal Mendis, FOUR! Extra pace works against the bowler. Short in length and just outside off, at 144.1 kph, Kusal stays back and uses the pace to guide it down to third man for a boundary. Smart!

6.2
Yuzvendra Chahal to Charith Asalanka, SIX! Out of here! Too full in length, around off, right in the arc, Charith Asalanka latches onto it and powers it over long on for a biggie.

7.5
Umran Malik to Charith Asalanka, OUT! A remarkable running catch from Ishan Kishan and the crowd roars. Umran Malik is delighted to have his first wicket. Hurls across a short delivery, outside off at 143.7 kph, Charith Asalanka sits back to pull but gets a fat top edge. It flies towards fine leg and Ishan Kishan is very early to call for it. Harshal Patel coming in from fine leg stays away and the Indian keeper completes a great catch, by circling around and diving full length. Tremendous. Sri Lanka in a spot of bother now - 116 needed off 73 balls.

8.1
Harshal Patel to Kusal Mendis, FOUR! Dismissed! Excellent swing of the bat. Full in length, around off at 139.4 kph, Kusal clears his front leg and hammers it down to long on for a boundary.
W
8.2
Harshal Patel to Kusal Mendis, OUT! CAUGHT! Big, big breakthrough for India as the batter in form, Kusal Mendis is on his bike. Harshal gets a wicket off an ordinary delivery. Short in length and outside off, at 137 kph, Kusal rocks back and blazes it through the line. It goes aerially and flatly to deep cover-point and Sanju Samson moves across a bit to his left to accept the catch gleefully. That one was straight down his throat. Mendis is deeply disappointed as he drags himself off the ground. India on top!

8.5
Harshal Patel to Bhanuka Rajapaksa, FOUR! As Ravi Shastri would scream - Flashes and flashes hard! A cross-seam delivery, short and wide outside off, Bhanuka throws his bat at it and edges it down to third man for a boundary.
4
9.6
Axar Patel to Dasun Shanaka, FOUR! Five singles and a boundary off the last ball. A good one for Sri Lanka. Tossed up outside off, Dasun Shanaka plays late and guides it fine down to third man for a boundary. At the halfway mark, Sri Lanka need 97 runs.
W
10.4
Harshal Patel to Bhanuka Rajapaksa, OUT! CAUGHT! Harshal Patel strikes now and Bhanuka Rajapaksa has to walk back. Harshal bowls this one a bit slower at 122.8 kph and pitches it up around the off pole. Rajapaksa has his weight on the back foot but he looks to transfer it forward and loft it down the ground. Rajapaksa gets the elevation but not the distance. Hardik Pandya, from mid off, shuffles back and takes a tumbling catch but seems to have pulled a muscle. Sri Lanka lose half their side and are in deep trouble at the moment.

11.4
Axar Patel to Dasun Shanaka, SIX! Thumped! Floats it up a bit around middle, Dasun Shanaka backs away and dispatches it right back over the bowler's head for a biggie. Sri Lanka need a lot more of this from their skipper.
4
12.2
Umran Malik to Dasun Shanaka, MISFIELD AND FOUR! A tad fuller and outside off, Dasun Shanaka opens the face of the bat and steers it to the right of the man at third man. Sanju Samson there gets his knee stuck in the turf and the ball goes through his hands into the fence.

12.6
Umran Malik to Wanindu Hasaranga, FOUR! Nicely played! This is short and wide at around 146 clicks. Wanindu Hasaranga stays on the back foot, before leaning back and guiding it behind point for a boundary. 73 needed off 42 balls.
6
13.4
Yuzvendra Chahal to Wanindu Hasaranga, SIX! All the way! This is very slow, at just 71.1 clicks and turning away from the leg stump line. Wanindu Hasaranga has to reach for it and puts all his power to send the ball over the mid-wicket fence for a maximum.
6
13.5
Yuzvendra Chahal to Wanindu Hasaranga, SIX! Two in a row! Another tossed-up delivery on middle and leg, Wanindu Hasaranga connects the slog-sweep well and muscles it over the mid-wicket fence for another biggie.
W
14.3
Shivam Mavi to Wanindu Hasaranga, OUT! CAUGHT! Straight to the fielder and Wanindu Hasaranga fails to make use of the life he got just a couple of deliveries earlier. Shivam Mavi pitches it up around off stump and it is in the slot and there to be hit. Hasaranga backs away and goes deep in his crease but ends up toe-ending the lofted drive towards mid off. Hardik Pandya over there takes a simple catch around his face and Mavi gets his third wicket on debut. 55 needed now off 33 balls.

15.1
Harshal Patel to Dasun Shanaka, SIX! High and handsome! Short in length and around off, Dasun Shanaka rides the bounce and hammer-pulls it in front of square on the leg side for a maximum. A great start to the over for the Lankans.

15.5
Harshal Patel to Dasun Shanaka, FOUR! Put away with disdain! Short in length, around off, Shanaka stands tall inside the crease and pulls it with authority to wide long on for a boundary.

16.2
Umran Malik to Dasun Shanaka, SIX! What a pickup shot! Shanaka is the man for Sri Lanka. A little short in length, around middle, Dasun Shanaka sits back and heaves it over deep square leg. 34 needed off 22 balls.
W
16.4
Umran Malik to Dasun Shanaka, OUT! Is that the match? Umran Malik bowls it with a lot of fire. Clocks 155 kph and hurls it on a length outside off, Dasun Shanaka stays leg-side of this delivery as he attempts to hammer it through the line. His bat though turns in his gloves and it goes straight into the hands of Chahal at extra cover. That break in play due to the use of the DRS hampered Shanaka's momentum and he returns dejected. 34 needed off 20 balls.

17.4
Shivam Mavi to Maheesh Theekshana, OUT! Maheesh Theekshana holes out and what a dream debut it is turning out to be for Shivam Mavi - fourth wicket for him! A delivery on a good length, around off at 132.1 kph, Maheesh hangs back to smash it down the ground but he gets more height than distance. An easy catch for Suryakumar Yadav at long off and Sri Lanka are nearing defeat now. 31 needed off 14 balls with two wickets left.

18.4
Harshal Patel to Chamika Karunaratne, SIX! 15 needed off 8 balls. Chamika Karunaratne gets hold of this delivery. Picks the short ball and launches it over deep mid-wicket for a biggie. Tension building.

19.3
Axar Patel to Chamika Karunaratne, SIX! High and handsome! 5 needed off 3 balls. Incredible shot. Quicker one, short and on middle, Chamika Karunaratne clears his front leg and muscles it over wide long on.
W
19.5
Axar Patel to Chamika Karunaratne, OUT! Run out at the non-striker's end! Fuller and on middle, Chamika flicks it to deep mid-wicket and has to go for the second run. Hooda throws the ball to the bowler who takes the bails off. Could have taken the gamble and thrown it to the keeper. Chamika Karunaratne is back on strike, 4 needed off the final ball.
W
19.6
Axar Patel to Chamika Karunaratne, OUT! Run out on the final ball as well. INDIA WIN BY 2 RUNS! Flatter delivery, it's fired in around middle, Chamika Karunaratne swings his bat hard but fails to get the desired connection. It tamely rolls down to deep mid-wicket and Chamika jogs to the other end in disappointment. His partner, Dilshan Madushanka, looks for the second run and is midway down the track. Deepak Hooda fires in the throw to the keeper this time and Ishan Kishan does the rest.
