1st T20I Live Updates: INDIA WIN!
That's it. It's all over. India win by 62 runs. A convincing performance from the hosts. After a dominant performance from the batters, the bowlers also did their job very well. Bhuvneshwar Kumar broke SL's back with those early wickets.
That has been reverse-swept for a four. Excellent shot from Asalanka. He is not the first Sri Lankan player to try that this afternoon. But the first one to get that right.
The Sri Lankan skipper goes for the reverse sweep again but gets only a top edge. An easy catch for Bhuvneshwar at backward point. With that wicket, Chahal goes past Bumrah as India's leading wicket-taker in T20Is.
Venkatesh Iyer strikes. Off-cutter into the pitch. Short and outside off. Liyanage winds up to slam it over the leg side. But he loses his balance sends a leading edge at cover.
Straight into the hands of Rohit at midwicket. Good length and outside off, Mishara keeps targetting the leg side, but the timing goes awry again. Easy catch
Dream start for India. Bhuvneshwar Kumar strikes on the first ball. Pathum Nissanka departs. Keeps low and Nissanka plays on first ball. Full, skidding back in at off after hitting the pitch. It shoots low, Nissanka jams his bat down and bottom-edges it back onto his own stumps
Sri Lanka to chase 200. India finish at 199/2 thanks to a late push from Shreyas Iyer. India had got of to a flying start with Ishan Kishan and Rohit Sharma. Let's see if Sri Lanka can pull of one of unlikeliest of run chases.
Change of pace once again from Kumara but it was the low bounce that caught Rohit. He looked to go aerial, down the ground, but the ball sneaked underneath the bat, hitting the off stump
India are running away at the moment. Ishan Kishan reaches his fifty as Rohit has also gained the magic touch after a cautious start. India are 98 for nil halfway through their innings.
Rohit Sharma joins the party. Jeffrey with a googly sliding into middle stump. Rohit drops down to one knee and clatters it over midwicket with the turn. Rohit overtakes Martin Guptill as the leading run-scorer in T20Is. Congratulations.
That has been whacked! Another six for Ishan Kishan. He is loving this at the moment. Chest-high short ball but Kishan still takes it on and hooks it over square leg for six.
Crashes it! Pitched slightly fuller. Ishan Kishan steps aside to make room. He absolutely crashes this beyond mid-offs reach for a four. No chance for the fielder.
Clean as a whistle. First six of the India's innings and it comes from the bat of Ishan Kishan. Pitched slightly short and Ishan pulls this over square leg for a six.
Three boundaries on the trot. Suddenly the pressure on Karunaratne. After finding the gap through covers twice, Ishan Kishan plays this late between short third man and backward point for another four.
Too much width given to the batter. Full toss, slightly wide of off stump and Ishan Kishan thumps this towards covers for a boundary. What a shot that was from the southpaw.
That's in the gap. Angling towards the leg side. Rohit Sharma flicks Lahiru Kumara away through backward square leg. Places it between deep square and long leg. Uses his wrist well.
Sri Lanka have won the toss and captain Dasun Shanaka elected to bowl first. India make as many as 6 changes from the side that beat West Indies in the third ODI. Ruturaj Gaikwad misses out due to wrist injury while Ravindra Jadeja and Bumrah return. There is also a debut for Deepak Hood.
