India vs Sri Lanka Highlights
Sri Lanka won the toss and decided to bat first. Both teams wanted to bat first as it was a dry pitch and the ball was likely to turn as the game progressed. But no one knew that all the wickets that the Indian cricket team would be taking were going to be taken by the pacers.
The match began with a wicket by Jasprit Bumrah in the very first over. Then it was Mohammed Siraj who shoulder-tackled the entire Sri Lankan team by taking four wickets in an over. Yes, four wickets. The Sri Lankan batting looked helpless, and all the hopes were on the main batter in the tournament, Kusal Mendis.
But it was the day of Siraj, and he bowled him out. Slowly and over after over, they kept losing their wickets, and, in the 16th over of the game, Sri Lanka was all-out for just 50 runs.
- Siraj: 6/21
- Pandya: 3/3
- Bumrah: 1/23
India had a target of just 51 runs to chase. Shubman Gill and Ishan Kishan stepped out with the bat and started hampering the ball from the very first over. Boundaries were scored in every over they played. Finally, in just 37 balls, India chased a total of 51 runs.
