Player Of The Match
  • 49.6

    Bhuvneshwar Kumar to Dhananjaya de Silva. Half volley, down leg side backing away driving, in the air under control to long on for 2 runs, mis-fielded by Pandya.

    A decent total on the board from Sri Lanka. They will be pleased with that. India were magnificent in the first and last periods of the innings. They had Sri Lanka at 55-4, before Angelo Mathews and Lahiru Thirimanne combined in a brilliant partnership. They controlled the middle overs superbly, with Mathews going on to make his third ODI century. The pick of the bowlers, no surprise, was Jasprit Bumrah. Will that be enough to defend? Or can India chase this down? Find out shortly.

Pace taken off, Thisara has to reach a long way to connect with the ball, and completely cloths it. Terrific take from Hardik, sprinting in from long off to take a tumbling catch inches from the turf.

    FOUR! Hardik Pandya to Dhananjaya de Silva. Length ball, middle stump on the front foot flick, well timed in the air under control past deep mid wicket for 4 runs. Pace on the ball, and it flies away to the boundary. Just a whip of the wrists from Dhananjaya, and he splits the deep fielders perfectly.

  • 43.3

    Isuru Udana to Hardik Pandya. Slower length ball, to leg on the front foot pushing, outside edge to third man for 1 run, fielded by Rajitha.

    That will be that. India breeze home to a dominant seven wicket win. It looked as though Sri Lanka posted a challenging total, but India made it look like a belting pitch to bat on. They were helped by some indifferent bowling and sloppy fielding, but credit has to go to the batsmen. Rohit Sharma notched up his fifth hundred in this World Cup campaign, while Lokesh Rahul got one of his own, too. That finishes Sri Lanka's tournament for this year, which has been slightly disappointing in their view. India, however, go to the semi-finals in cracking form.

    OUT! L.B.W. Isuru Udana to Rishabh Pant. Slower length ball, outside off stump on the front foot sweeping, hit pad to. Out the back of the hand, Pant doesn't spot it, and he is through his shot far too early. He is crouched down as the ball strikes the thigh, but the umpire still shakes his head at the appeal. Review taken, and it was a good one for Sri Lanka. All three reds appear on HawkEye, so the decision is reversed. Pant has to go.
