Here are the Highlights of the 1st T20I between India and Sri Lanka:
- 22:46 (IST)
- 22:19 (IST)India vs Sri Lanka Live: Ravi Bishnoi injured15.1 - Ravi Bishnoi has hurt himself while going for a return catch of Kamindu Mendis. The batter got a leading edge and Bishnoi jumped to his right to take the catch off his own bowing. He grabbed the ball in air but it popped out of his hands once his elbows hit the ground. It seemed like a serious injury but the good news is that Bishnoi is back on his feet after some primary treatment.
- 21:32 (IST)India vs Sri Lanka Live: Good reviewOn the fourth delivery of Ravi Bishnoi's over, the spinner managed to hit the front pad of Kusal Mendis and appealed for an LBW. Umpire raised his finger but Mendis quickly took a review. UltraEdge revealed that Mendis had edged the ball before it hit his pad.
- 21:11 (IST)India vs Sri Lanka Live: Good bowlingThat is a really good start for Mohammed Siraj. He bowled tight lengths and conceded only two couples in the over. There was even an LBW appeal on the fourth ball of the over for the wicket of Pathum Nissanka but umpire was unconvinced. India decided not to review it.
- 20:54 (IST)India vs Sri Lanka Live: India post 213/7!India have got a really good total on the board. Jaiswal and Gill set the platform with a superb opening partnership of 74 runs off 35 balls, but Sri Lanka made a remarkable comebak with two wickets in two balls. Suryakumar's 58 and Pant's 49 however helped India get past 200.
- 19:57 (IST)India vs Sri Lanka Live: Sri Lanka lose second review!Sri Lanka have lost their second and last review as well. It was an LBW appeal against the wicket of Rishabh Pant on the first ball of Hasaranga over. Umpire was unconvinced but SL decided to go upstairs only to find out that the ball was pitching outside the leg stump. Two misfields from Sri Lanka later awarded two fours to India in the over.
- 19:32 (IST)India vs Sri Lanka Live: OUT!Big WICKET! Wanindu Hasaranga has got the wicket of Yashasvi Jaiswal. The southpaw is out for 40 off 21 balls. It is a really good stumping from Kusal Mendis. Jaiswal missed to read Hasaranga's googly and that missed his bat's edge. By that time, Jaiswal was already off balance and out of his crease. Mendis comfortably knocked off the bails.
- 19:17 (IST)India vs Sri Lanka Live: Review lost!Sri Lanka have lost a review here. It was an appeal for LBW as Yashasvi Jaiswal missed his sweep shot on the bowling of Maheesh Theekshana. The ball hit him on the front pad. Umpire was unconvinced and Theekshana decided to go upstairs. The ball tracker found that it would have missed the off stump.
