Kusal Mendis won the toss and put the Indian side to bat first. Despite an early wicket loss in the form of Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli and Shubman Gill stepped up and put on a spectacle. Their partnership totted up 189 runs for the second wicket; Gill contributing 92 to the tally while Kohli amassed 88.

The post-departure of the two saw Shreyas Iyer take the helm, dazzling with an 82-run knock off just 56 deliveries. This led India to pile up a sizable 357 for the loss of 8 wickets in their allocated 50 overs. Sri Lankan bowler Dilshan Madushanka bagged 5 wickets, thereby becoming only the fourth from his nation to hit that landmark.

But the nightmare started for Sri Lanka after they took the crease for the run chase. The Indian pace attack ran riot as Sri Lanka crumbled under an exceptional bowling assault. The demolition started with Jasprit Bumrah claiming a wicket on the very first delivery of the chase, followed by Mohammed Siraj's brilliant three-wicket haul that left Sri Lanka in shambles at 3 for 4.

Then Mohammed Shami added to the Lankans' woes, as the pacer earned his second five-for at the 2023 World Cup. Shami's bowling disrupted Sri Lanka's middle and tail-end lineup, resulting in the dismissal of Kusal Mendis's team with a scant total of 55 runs.

Score

India: 357 for 8 in 50 overs (Shubman Gill 92, Virat Kohli 88; Dilshan Madushanka 5/80). Sri Lanka: 55 all out in 19.4 overs (Kasun Rajitha 14, Maheesh Theekshana 12; Mohammed Shami 5/18)
