Nissanka hits the reverse sweep to backward point where Rohit makes no mistake. SL 97/1 after 11.1 ovs | SL need 77 in 53 deliveries
Ashwin’s second ball was actually pretty good. It had a lovely away drift and it also turned in. But Kusal Mendis absolutely walloped it on a bent knee over extra cover for a stunning six. He stretched forward, waited on a bent knee, and down came the bat, and connected fabulously well. As if there had been no drift, as if there had been no turn, as if it was a over-pitched ball that did nothing. The length demanded he had to biff it somewhat on the up, but he did everything well to smash it over the boundary.
Kusal Mendis with a fantastic six! Dances down the track to Ashwin and goes inside out and smashes it over wide long-off. Simply Wow! Nissanka & Mendis have settled in & are looking dangerous. India need a breakthrough ASAP
Former India and CSK middle-order batsman, S Badrinath on Tamil commentary on Star Sports didn’t mince his words about Indian bowling attack. “Apart from Bhubaneshwar Kumar, there is nothing really to this Indian fast bowling attack. India has the poorest attack (the current one) in the top 4 teams today. For Sri Lanka, the spin attack is better. Pakistan is of course best. Afghanistan have a great spin attack. There is no penetration as a fast bowler - you need swing or pace, and I don't see that in this Indian attack. in the absence of Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammad Shami, and Harshal Patel, this unit struggles. They just took 3 fast bowling options for this tournament. Mistake. And Deepak Chahar isn't feeling well."
Fifty comes up for Sri Lanka in the 6th over and both their openers are still at the crease. India are under pressure and have brought Chahal into the attack. A team that has shown great heart, especially with their batting; showing good form again today. Sri Lanka on the charge
SIX! slower one from Arshdeep which is short in length and that's been whacked into the crowd! 4 1 4 1 6 2 = 18 from the over.
Nissanka and Kusal Mendis to start the proceedings for Sri Lanka. Bhuvneshwar will bowl the first over for India. That's a very good over, just 1 run off the over. SL 1/0 after 1 over.
Karunaratne comes in to bowl the last over for Sri Lanka and takes the wicket of Bhuvneshwar Kumar. Great comeback by the Sri Lankan bowlers. Ashwin gets a six here. What a shot!! Ind 173/8 after 20 overs.

India have two new batsmen out there who have the reputation to go berserk if they get going. India need them to fire for a big finish.

For a while now, those who practice the art of carrom ball keep talking about the reverse-carrom, the one that breaks into the right-handed batsmen. Maheesh Theekshana has that version down to a T - - especially with the new ball, he makes that ball swing in to the right-hander.
It’s quite a cool ball. Theekshana imparts a lot of backspin on the ball, with the way he squeezes it out at release. And the new ball then basically behaves like released by a swing bowler: that backspin aids the ball to swing, and Theekshana’s fore-finger has already given it the inwards direction.
The story goes that he worked on the carrom ball for three years before he would try in competitive games. And these was at school cricket, which traditionally is strong in Sri Lanka.
He practised the carrom ball for three years, until he fully mastered it. He didn’t try the ball even once in a school game until he was sure he could land it properly. Though they were school games, he was conscious to not waste the balls,” his mentor Chinthaka Perera had once told The Indian Express.
That ball from hell stunned KL Rahul. He was down the track and the ball started from well outside off but began to curve back in alarmingly, dipping to crash-land on the toe. With the way he had gone down the pitch, Rahul had no chance to counter it. The ball swung in so much that he couldn’t even get his bat down and ahead of his boot in time.

Suryakumar Yadav is taking on Hasaranga. It's a short delivery and Surya hits it between mid-wicket and long-on. That's a great shot!! Ind 65/2 after 9 overs.
“Bad shot to be honest,” Gautam Gambhir would say on air and it pretty much sums up Virat Kohli’s dismissal. “He went too across instead of straighter,” Gambhir would add.
Trying to ride on his new dalliance with an aggressive approach from the start of his innings, Kohli went for a shot that he usually doesn’t play: the swipe across the line. Normally, when he wants to hit a length ball from a seamer in that direction, he would chose his signature swat-flick. The ball from the left-handed Dilshan Madhushanka landed on a length on the middle-stump line and uprooted the middle stump, as Kohli failed to connect.
Even when well-settled, this is a shot that he usually doesn’t play and it’s not a surprise that he couldn’t make contact.
