Player Of The Match
  • 43.2
    Vishwa Fernando b Jasprit Bumrah 0 (6)

    OUT! Bowled. Jasprit Bumrah to Vishwa Fernando. Seaming in length ball, off stump no foot movement defending, missed to gully. Good use of the bouncer followed up by a very good delivery that just nipped back through the gate. Sri Lanka's top order will be very disappointed that they were unable to convert any of their starts and a middle order collapse cements India's place as firm favourites. Sri Lanka will have to bowl very well if they want to win this game.
