India’s start with the bat was not ideal as they lost two big wickets within the first three overs. However, Rohit Sharma didn’t let the Sri Lankan bowlers dominate. He smashed 72 runs from just 41 balls and was supported well by Yadav. India lost their way a bit after Rohit’s wicket. There were some contributions but India lost way too many wickets in the death overs and ended with 173/8 on the board.
Pathum Nissanka and Kusal Mendis came out all guns blazing and smashed 97 runs in the first 11 overs. However, they lost two wickets in the 12th over and then went on to lose two more quickly. Yuzvendra Chahal picked up 3 bowlers for 34. However, the experienced duo of Bhanuka Rajapaksa and Dasun Shanaka then showed some great skills to take the game to the end. The batsmen were able to cross the line when 1 was required from1 the ball to clinch this thriller of a game.
