IND vs SL Live Cricket Score

1.5 OUT! Unadkat draws first blood! He has dismissed Dickwella three times in the three T20Is. His bunny you can say. He bowls it on a length around middle, Dickwella tries to go over mid on with a flick shot but the ball hits him high on the bat and goes straight up in the air towards that fielder. Mohammed Siraj there, runs back and takes an easy catch. An early wicket down for Sri Lanka. The dangerous Dickwella walks back cheaply yet again. 8/1

3.3 OUT! Another one bites the dust! This is poor from Sri Lanka! A needless shot from Tharanga here. Unadkat bowls it on a length on off, Tharanga tries to go big over the leg side. He gets the elevation but not the distance and holes out to Pandya at deep mid-wicket. Unadkat is a delighted man as he gets his second. 18/3

3 OUT! 1st T20I wicket for Washington Sundar and it is a big one! Kusal Perera walks back early today! Sundar tosses it up on middle and the ball sticks on the surface. Perera pays the price for playing across as he tries to play it to long on. He is early into the shot as he balloons it back to the bowler who accepts a simple catch. India have two early wickets and Sri Lanka are in deep trouble now. 14/2

8.3 OUT! Just as Sri Lanka looked to build a partnership, India strike! Sadeera who was intent to use his feet does it again but does not get close to the pitch off the ball. He still goes through with the shot as he tries to go over mid off but is undone by the bounce. The ball does not hit the middle and lobs towards mid off. Dinesh Karthik there tracks back and takes a neat catch. Sri Lanka lose their 4th inside ten overs and are now staring down the barrel. 56/4

17.3 OUT! Caught! No fifty for Asela. It is a short ball and should have been put away but Asela has been struggling with his timing on the short balls in his entire innings. This is around middle and off, Gunaratne looks to pull but is beaten by the extra bounce. He miscues it in the air and Kuldeep Yadav runs to his right from short mid-wicket. Gets to the ball before it makes contact with the ground and cups the catch. Ohh... Hardik is pumped up now. Finally we see some celebration. 111/7

11.4 OUT! Catching practice continues. The Sri Lankan batsmen are giving good audition to be fielding coaches. Remember those good old coaches giving fielding practice to players before the game begins? These lads are giving an extension to the Indian fielders. Full and on the stumps, Gunathilaka gets down and sweeps it hard, really hard. But straight to Hardik Pandya at the mid-wicket fence. No celebration from Pandya, in fact even the bowler is not excited. Really looks like a fielding drill. Half the side gone, a little less than half the overs left. Can they bat out their full quota tonight? 72/5

13 OUT! Soft dismissal. Sorry, ANOTHER soft dismissal. A nothing ball, a nothing shot to complement that. Full and on middle and leg, Thisara clips it uppishly but it is straight to his counterpart at short mid-wicket. Thank you for coming. Siraj is overjoyed. He picks out skippers, doesn't he? Williamson the other night in his first T20I against New Zealand and Thisara tonight. 85/6

7 OUT! Rohit departs cheaply tonight! The bounce does the trick again. Shanaka bangs it in short and the Indian captain goes for the pull. He is cramped a bit for room and miscues it to deep mid-wicket. Kusal Perera is stationed at the boundary and it should have been a fairly simple catch but somehow he misjudges it. Eventually he takes it at the last moment, needing to dive forward for the catch. Do Sri Lanka believe? Not a bad start at all. India need 97 from 78 balls... 39/2

3.2 OUT! Umpire's call it is and the decision stays! Wow. India have lost a wicket. That looked so, so not out to the naked eye. Pitched outside off, coming in a long way, hitting the batsman almost around leg stump. Rahul missed his flick and was hit on the pads. Chameera kept on appealing and eventually the umpire raised his finger. Even on the replays, it seems like the ball will go past the leg stump. But, Hawk Eye shows the ball to be clipping the top of leg stump, which means umpire's call. Rahul will consider himself unlucky. One of those rare LBW reviews where a batsman takes instantaneously, without even consulting his partner. Early strike for Sri Lanka. 17/1

13.2 OUT! Very unfortunate way of getting out for Iyer! Akila drags his length back on the stumps, Pandey rocks back and hits it hard towards the bowler. Iyer was backing up a long way as Dananjaya gets his finger tips to the ball and it deflects back to the stumps. The bowler appeals and the umpire raises his finger as Iyer starts walking back. A big-wicket, just when this partnership looked to take away the game from the Lankans. 55 needed now from 40. Game on! 81/3

16.1 OUT! BOWLED 'EM! Chameera strikes! He has been excellent tonight. He comes running in and lands it on a length around off, gets it to jag back in. Pandey with no foot movement, tries to flick it through the leg side. He leaves a big gap between bat and pad. The ball sneaks through and hits timber. The set Manish Pandey is walking back and Chameera is elated. A good innings by Pandey comes to an end. Two new batsmen at the crease now just what Sri Lanka wanted. 28 from 23 needed with 6 wickets in hand. Game on? 108/5

15 OUT! It is a legal delivery! A big wicket. Sri Lanka are not letting India get away. After being hit for two boundaries in the over, Shanaka gets a breakthrough. He bangs it in short outside off, Pandya tries to be cheeky as he plays the upper cut. The ball goes off the toe-end and into the gloves off the keeper. Pandya starts walking as he knew he has edged it but the umpires ask him to wait as they go upstairs to check for the no ball. But replays show the front foot is fine. Hardik is not happy with himself and the Lankans are ecstatic. 37 needed now from 30. 99/4
