Welcome back to the run-chase folks!

...THE RUN CHASE…

A target of 216 on a superb batting wicket for India. They should chase it down with ease but in cricket, anything can happen. There is some assistance for the spinners and Sri Lanka have the likes of Wanindu Hasaranga and Dunith Wellalage to make use of it. Early wickets will be the key for them. Let's see if they present any fight. Do join us in a short while.

Mohammed Siraj (5.4-0-30-3) says that the wicket did not have much pace at the start and he was trying to bowl stump-to-stump as there was no swing. Mentions that he was just trying to keep the pressure on. Tells that he was talking to KL Rahul and he said that there was not much swing after the first over and that's why Siraj attempted to bowl with a scrambled seam. Feels that it is a batting wicket and Kuldeep bowled an extraordinary spell. States that the Indian batters just need to keep it simple to chase this total down.

The only change that India made for this game was replacing the unfit Yuzvendra Chahal with Kuldeep Yadav and he grabbed the chance with open arms. He bowled with a lot of control and skills, and his execution of plans was brilliant. The other bowlers also rallied around him and the likes of Umran Malik and Mohammed Siraj were again among the wickets.

The start from Sri Lanka was decent as they batted out Powerplay 1 by losing only one wicket and managed to put 51 runs on the board. Debutant Nuwanidu Fernando and Kusal Mendis formed a partnership and the former impressed everyone with his calm and composed knock. At the first Drinks break, the visitors looked in control and would have been dreaming of a score in excess of 300 but Kuldeep Yadav came out of syllabus for them. The magical wrist spinner created havoc and ran through the middle order in a jiffy. From 102 for 1, Sri Lanka collapsed to 126 for 6. The lower order contributed a few handy runs, taking the score above 200 but failed to last the distance.

A dominant bowling show from India on a batting-friendly surface. They will be immensely pleased with their efforts on the field - bundling out the opposition for a paltry score inside 40 overs. The crowd has loved the entire action thus far and is roaring as the Men in Blue walk off the field.

39.4 overs (0 Run) OUT! KNOCKED HIM OVER! Siraj wraps it up in a matter of four deliveries and finishes with three wickets as Sri Lanka have been bowled out for 215! This is full and straight on middle. Lahiru Kumara tries to drive it without much footwork and gets an inside edge. The ball brushes his pads and knocks over the stumps. This has been a poor batting effort from the Lankans and the Indian team along with its fans is a happy lot.

This is on a shortish length and outside off, angling across the left-hander. Dunith Wellalage punches it off the outside half of his blade but straight to point where Axar Patel takes yet another sharp catch. Nine down now!

39.1 overs (6 Runs) SIX! Siraj has been greeted with a maximum here by young Dunith Wellalage! This is short and on off. Dunith Wellalage looks awkward as he pulls it but gets enough bat on it to hit it over deep mid-wicket for a maximum.
