Chetan Sakariya to Avishka Fernando, FOUR! First boundary of the run chase and Avishka Fernando takes the attack to the debutant. On a length, outside off, there is width to play with and Avishka Fernando flays this one through the cover region. Boundary.

2.1
Navdeep Saini to Avishka Fernando, SIX! WOW! Uses the pace of the bowler and gets a biggie. On a shortish length, around the body, Avishka Fernando just pulls this one all the way over fine leg for a biggie.

Chetan Sakariya to Minod Bhanuka, FOUR! Well played. Comes down the track to this length ball and tonks it over the mid off region for a boundary.

Krishnappa Gowtham to Minod Bhanuka, OUT! CAUGHT! First wicket in International cricket for Krishnappa Gowtham and India gets an early wicket! Full and straight on middle, Bhanuka sweeps it straight down to square leg. Chetan Sakariya takes a nice low catch and India have the first breakthrough.

Rahul Chahar to Avishka Fernando, FOUR! Floated outside off, gloriously driven through the cover region and into the fence by Fernando.

9.3
Krishnappa Gowtham to Bhanuka Rajapaksa, FOUR! Short but not that wide, Bhanuka moves away and cuts it behind point into the boundary.

10.5
Hardik Pandya to Bhanuka Rajapaksa, FOUR! Short one on off but not short enough, Bhanuka pulls it across in front of square on the leg side and into the boundary.

10.6
Hardik Pandya to Bhanuka Rajapaksa, FOUR! Really good bouncer on middle, Bhanuka again looks to pull but he's beaten for pace and gets a faint edge over the keeper's head for another boundary. 13 off HP's first over!

12.3
Hardik Pandya to Bhanuka Rajapaksa, INSIDE EDGE AND FOUR! Lady luck with Bhanuka Rajapaksa here. Pandya cut him into half, but it went past the keeper. A back of a length ball, around off, the ball nips in, Bhanuka Rajapaksa looks to defend, but the ball takes the inside edge, goes past Samson's dive, to the fence.

12.6
Hardik Pandya to Bhanuka Rajapaksa, FOUR! Second boundary of the over and it is Chetan Sakariya, who is not able to stop the ball cleanly. A touch fuller, around off, driven with purpose through extra cover. Chetan Sakariya runs to his left, dives perfectly, pulls the ball back, but the ball hits his other arm and goes past the ropes.

13.2
Krishnappa Gowtham to Avishka Fernando, FOUR! Cheeky! So delicately played. Outside off, a touch shorter, Avishka Fernando waits for the ball to arrive and then guides it late towards third man, for a boundary.

17.2
Rahul Chahar to Bhanuka Rajapaksa, FOUR! HAMMERED! Flighted delivery outside off and Bhanuka dances down the track to loft it over covers, against the spin for a boundary.

19.4
Rahul Chahar to Bhanuka Rajapaksa, FOUR! SLAPPED! Tossed up delivery around off and Bhanuka slogs it flat towards the deep mid-wicket where Sakariya puts in a good effort to catch the ball but goes off his palms into the boundary.

19.5
Rahul Chahar to Bhanuka Rajapaksa, FOUR! FIFTY for Bhanuka Rajapaksa! Reverses the tossed up delivery on middle past point and into the boundary to bring up a maiden ODI half-century.

Chetan Sakariya to Bhanuka Rajapaksa, FOUR! Again, on a shorter length, straying down leg, Bhanuka Rajapaksa pulls this one to fine leg and gets a boundary.

21.4
Krishnappa Gowtham to Bhanuka Rajapaksa, FOUR! The 100-run partnership comes up between these two. What a stand it has been. Will want to keep going on, though. Slightly shorter, outside off, Bhanuka Rajapaksa waits for the ball to come and then steers this one to the third man fence.

22.5
Chetan Sakariya to Bhanuka Rajapaksa, DROPPED AND FOUR! That should have been taken by Rana. It was a straightforward chance, but Nitish drops this and what's more? It goes for a boundary. A length delivery, around off, Bhanuka Rajapaksa hooks this one to the deep square leg region, where Rana palms it past the ropes, for a boundary.

22.6
Chetan Sakariya to Bhanuka Rajapaksa, OUT! CAUGHT! And now, the catch is taken. A sliding effort and after a massive partnership, India finally gets a wicket. This is bowled on the pads, on a length, Bhanuka Rajapaksa looks to help this one over the fine leg region and whips it, off his hips. Gets the height, but not the distance. The man at fine leg, Krishnappa Gowtham, runs to his right, and slides to complete this catch. Bhanuka Rajapaksa will be unhappy that he could not stay out there for longer, but he has done what was needed off him. 83 needed in 144 balls.

24.6
Chetan Sakariya to Dhananjaya de Silva, OUT! CAUGHT AND BOWLED! Chetan Sakariya is on fire! Could this be a way back into the match for India? Bowls this one into the pitch, on off but it's a slower one and takes off after pitching, Dhananjaya de Silva who was looking to block it, has no idea about this, looks to defend, but the ball has popped up off his gloves, straight in the air. Sakariya runs forward and pouches it.

28.6
Krishnappa Gowtham to Charith Asalanka, FOUR! A boundary on the last ball. Shortish, outside off, Charith Asalanka waits for the ball and then late cuts it past short third man, for a boundary. Navdeep Saini jogs behind the ball, but the ball wins the race to the ball.

30.5
Krishnappa Gowtham to Charith Asalanka, FOUR! Finds the gap this time. A touch flatter again, outside off, Charith Asalanka makes some room and slaps this through the point region for a boundary.

31.2
Hardik Pandya to Charith Asalanka, FOUR! Pleasing cover drive and Charith Asalanka gets another boundary. On a length, around off, Charith Asalanka opens the face of the bat at the right time and punches this through extra cover.
W
31.6
Hardik Pandya to Charith Asalanka, OUT! LBW! Hardik finally gets a wicket and India get their fourth, but it seems like it has come too late. A slower dipping full toss, on middle and leg, Asalanka looks to clip this gently to the leg side, but he misses and gets hit on his boot. An appeal from Hardik, a polite enquiry, actually, and the umpire raises his finger. Charith Asalanka takes the review but it just confirms that the ball would go onto hit the wickets. 33 more needed in 90 balls.
W
32.4
Rahul Chahar to Dasun Shanaka, OUT! CAUGHT! The skipper, Dasun Shanaka has been dismissed for a golden duck by Rahul Chahar! Floats this one up nicely around off, turning away and Shanaka pushes at it and gets the leading edge straight to short cover, where Manish Pandey pouches this. Chahar has his maiden ODI wicket! Is there still life left in this match?

34.3
Rahul Chahar to Ramesh Mendis, FOUR! NICELY DONE! Fuller one on middle, Mendis gets down on his knees and sweeps it fine behind square leg and into the boundary.
W
36.2
Rahul Chahar to Avishka Fernando, OUT! CAUGHT! Chahar is spinning a web today! Bowls the stock leg-spinner on middle and this one turns sharply, catching the outside edge of Fernando, who was looking to block it. Shaw takes a sharp catch, low down to his right, at first slip. Avishka Fernando is finally out for 76 after a wonderful knock. He might have done enough to see his team through.
W
38.4
Rahul Chahar to Chamika Karunaratne, OUT! STUMPED! Sharp work by Samson sees Sri Lanka lose another wicket. Floated, outside off, Chamika Karunaratne looks to defend, but the ball spins away, and evades the outside edge to the keeper, where Samson collects and whips the bails off. Sanju is convinced and the third umpire is called to refer this. Ultra Edge shows no bat. Replays show that the foot was on the line and not behind it, when the bails come off. The third umpire has a couple of looks and decides that this will be out. 7 more needed.
