Inn Break
Right then, that is it from this game and it is the home side, India who have taken a 1-0 lead in the three-match series. Sri Lanka will feel that they can go a step further in the next game and get back on level terms. The second game should be another exciting clash and will take place on Thursday, the 5th of January at the MCA Stadium in Pune. That game will begin at 7 pm IST (1.30 pm GMT) but you can join us early for the build-up. Take care and goodbye!
Hardik Pandya, the Indian skipper, says that he is feeling good physically and it was only a few cramps. Shares that he had not slept well and the fluids got down hence he suffered cramps. Tells that he wants to put his team in challenging situations, especially in these bilateral series, and that will prepare them for the big games. Tells that he just told Shivam Mavi to back his skills and not to have the fear of getting hit. States that if the situation is the same, he (Hardik) will continue to take the new ball as he has worked on swinging the ball.
Deepak Hooda (41* off 23 balls) is the PLAYER OF THE MATCH for his game-changing knock. Hooda says that he tries to play at any position in the batting order and looks to give his hundred per cent. Adds that he and Axar Patel were talking about getting in a couple of good hits and they would be able to get to 160. Mentions that he wants to perform every time he gets an opportunity and he recently played a lot of spin in domestic cricket because of which he was confident of taking the Lankan spinners on.
Dasun Shanaka, the Sri Lankan captain, says that he is disappointed with the way they finished. Feels that they should have won in style. Mentions that at this venue, the batters should have performed better and crossed the line. Shares that they used the match-ups well with the ball and succeeded. Adds that his top order consists of very talented batters and they are backing them.
Stay tuned for the Presentation ceremony...
Earlier in the game, Dasun Shanaka won the toss and opted to chase. India got off to a breezy start before losing three quick wickets. Ishan Kishan made a fast start and so did Hardik Pandya but the pair got out when India looked to up the ante. Thankfully for India, Deepak Hooda and Axar Patel played quickfire knocks down the order to take the score above 160. For Sri Lanka, the spinners bowled really well and so did Chamika Karunaratne but Kasun Rajitha went for a bit of tap. With an under-par score to chase down on a bit of a tacky surface, the Lankan batters never really looked to be in control. Shivam Mavi exploited this and so did a couple of other pacers. With India cruising, Sri Lanka did launch a counter-attack led by their skipper Dasun Shanaka but ended up on the losing side.
Shivam Mavi comes up for a quick word. Shares that he was struggling with the landing initially and then decided to bowl from the side of the crease. Tells that he has been waiting for 6 years for this moment but he stuck around and put in the hard work. Mentions that it was his dream to play for the country and adds that he was not much nervous as he has played in the Indian T20 League. Praises Hardik Pandya for backing him and encouraging him. Mavi picks his first wicket as his best out of the four.
India will be delighted with the win here but will feel that they got out of jail. The debutant, Shivam Mavi set the tone early on as he picked up a wicket each in his first two overs. Hardik Pandya bowled three on the trot at the start and kept the Lankan batters pegged back. The Indian spinners failed to dominate the middle overs but the likes of Umran Malik and Harshal Patel were able to pick up timely wickets and ended up with two wickets each. Mavi came back to pick up two more, finishing with a four-fer on debut. With Pandya picking up a slight niggle, the task of bowling the final over was handed to Axar Patel and he just about managed to get his side over the line.
Sri Lanka will feel that this one got away. The target to chase down was not the biggest and they knew that a couple of solid knocks could take them over the line. However, their top order apart from Kusal Mendis completely faltered. The visitors kept on losing wickets at regular intervals and as has been the case in recent times, the onus was on the skipper Dasun Shanaka and the lower order to lead the fightback. That is exactly what happened as Shanaka and Wanindu Hasaranga stitched together a quick 40-run stand. Both of them got out but Chamika Karunaratne kept on fighting till the end and with 5 needed off 3 balls, it looked like he had done enough but sadly, it wasn't meant to be for Sri Lanka.
Unreal scenes as the crowd inside the Wankhede erupts! So close yet so far for Sri Lanka as Axar Patel holds his nerves and gets the job done for his side. Axar is flocked by his teammates who huddle around him and pat him on the head. But spare a thought for Chamika Karunaratne who put the Lankans ahead in the final over only to fall 2 runs short of the target. What a game!

Axar Patel To Chamika Karunaratne OUT!
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.
Dilshan Madushanka is the last man in for Sri Lanka but he won't be on strike.

There is a long conversation going on between skipper Hardik Pandya and Axar Patel. It seems quite animated as well and then the keeper Ishan Kishan joins in. After a bit of chat, Axar is good to bowl and play can resume.

NOT OUT! A high full toss on middle, Karunaratne pushes it down to long on and scampers back for the second run. It's called a no ball for a waist-high full toss. Meanwhile, there is a run-out appeal once Ishan breaks the stumps. The third umpire finds it fine. Free Hit coming up...
Is that a run out? The throw comes in from Sanju Samson who is stationed at long and it is at the striker's end. Ishan Kishan dislodges the bails as Chamika Karunaratne puts in the big dive. It is sent upstairs and the replays show that Chamika was well in. Not Out!

Umran Malik To Dasun Shanaka OUT!
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.

Umran Malik To Dasun Shanaka
DRS time! It's for a caught behind and the original decision is not out. Umran Malik fires in a very full ball, around leg, Shanaka tries to dig it out but fails. It goes through his legs to the keeper who does well to collect it. He appeals but nothing from the umpire. Hardik Pandya has decided to take chance with the review. The third umpire is taking his time. He feels that it has taken the bottom edge but then bounced before going to Kishan. The right decision is made.

Shivam Mavi To Dasun Shanaka
What was Wanindu Hasaranga doing there? Mavi starts off with a slower one bowled into the deck and angled at the body. Dasun Shanaka looks to work it off his hips but gets an inside edge. The ball pops up off his hips and lands around the vacant short leg region. Hasaranga is almost at the striker's end when he is sent back. Mavi has to run around Hasaranga who is scampering back and has a shy at the stumps. Hasarnaga puts in the dive but Mavi misses, otherwise, it would have been curtains for the non-striker.
Change in bowling. Debutant Shivam Mavi (2-0-17-2) comes back for his second spell. Hardik Pandya, who is back on the field, is having a quick word with his bowler.

Hardik Pandya is down on the ground, perhaps he has pulled his leg muscle while tracking back and taking the catch. The physio comes out immediately. Seems like cramps, it's quite humid in Mumbai.

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.

Well done by the keeper! Harshal angles in a shortish ball down the leg side. Bhanuka Rajapaksa gets a tickle off the thigh pad but Ishan Kishan is quick to spring to his right and make the stop. He also gets up to under-arm the ball onto the stumps at his end. But Bhanuka is safely in.
Drinks break! Halfway through the chase and it is the home side, India who are in complete control of the game. Sri Lanka have lost four wickets and need 97 runs off 60 deliveries. The Indian pacers have been pretty good with skipper Hardik Pandya bowling probing lines early on, allowing Shivam Mavi to pick up the wickets from the other end. The Lankan batters have played a few loose shots as well. India scored plenty at the death and Sri Lanka can do the same but the pair of Dasun Shanaka and Bhanuka Rajapaksa is vital for them. An exciting phase of play awaits.

Harshal Patel To Kusal Mendis OUT!
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!

Umran Malik To Charith Asalanka OUT!
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.

He adjusts and ramps it down to third man but without much conviction. It flies to third man but drops in front of the fielder in the deep. They cross.

Shivam Mavi To Dhananjaya de Silva OUT!
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.

Shivam Mavi To Pathum Nissanka OUT!
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.

DROPPED! Sanju Samson fumbles the catch and Pathum Nissanka gets a life early on. Cleverly bowled by Pandya, this is bowled into the pitch and the pace is taken off a bit. Nissanka looks to flick but is through his shot early. The ball pops up off the leading edge to the right of mid off where Samson theatrically dives and grabs it with both hands. The ball pops out though as his elbows hit the ground hard. They get a run as well.
