The Match Overview
Asked to bat first, India’s journey in this match had an early hiccup when they lost their skipper, Rohit Sharma, on just the second ball. However, Shubman Gill and Virat Kohli formed a remarkable partnership that laid the foundation for India’s commanding total. Iyer’s explosive innings provided valuable momentum to the team. On the other hand, Sri Lanka’s Dilshan Madushanka stood out with a brilliant five-wicket haul.
In response to India’s imposing target, the Sri Lankan batters struggled immensely against the relentless Indian bowlers. The entire Sri Lankan team was bowled out for a mere 55 runs in 19.4 overs. The star of the Indian bowling attack, Mohammed Shami, picked up five crucial wickets, while Mohammed Siraj contributed with three important dismissals.
