We are back for the run chase! India players make their way out in the middle. Followed by Avishka Fernando and Minod Bhanuka. Bhuvneshwar Kumar to start with the ball. Here we go...
Sri Lanka's bowling was superb! Dushmantha Chameera started it all picking up Shaw off the very first ball of the game with a beauty of a delivery. He was brilliant at the death too but it was Wanindu Hasaranga again who was the pick of the bowlers as he simply bamboozled the Indian batsmen. Akila Dananjaya was expensive while Chamika Karunaratne was once again impressive. Their death bowling was exceptional as they used the slower balls to perfection. Now they would look to bat well and chase this total down. Do join us in a while for the run chase.
Short of a length on middle, Krunal Pandya pulls it towards deep mid-wicket for a single. 7 runs from the last over. INDIA FINISH WITH 164/5.
India at one stage looked like they will get more than 164 but some smart bowling towards the end has restricted them. India lost Prithvi Shaw first ball but then Sanju Samson and Shikhar Dhawan stitched a very good partnership before Samson threw it away. Suryakumar Yadav looked in sublime touch once again as he scored a 50 but then gave his wicket away. Shikhar Dhawan looked good too but Hardik Pandya struggled once again to get going while Kishan played some good shots but India could not finish with a flurry.
Very good finish from Sri Lanka! They will be extremely pleased with their effort and they would fancy themselves to chase it down. India, on the other hand, will be slightly disappointed and they need to come out all guns blazing with the ball if they want to defend this.
WIDE! Way too outside off, Pandya leaves it alone. Wided.
Full and outside off, Kishan smacks it towards long off for one.
Full and outside off, Kishan steers it towards deep point for a couple of runs. Can India finish on a high?
Touch fuller on off, Pandya hits it towards long on for one.
Full toss wide outside off, Kishan works it towards square leg for a single.
