9:36 PM

IND vs SL | 1st T20I | SL 57-4 | Overs 10 | Target 200- cheeky from Asalanka

 

In the air and had Jadeja dived, he might have got yet another wicket as the ball is gripping the surface like anything 

 

Four!! That's another cheeky shot from Asalanka as he cuts it from the keeper's gloves almost and guided it for four runs 

 

The captain and vice-captain are in the middle and now they need to show at least a bit of a fight here 

9:32 PM

IND vs SL | 1st T20I | SL 51-4 | Overs 9.2 | Target 200- Chandimal gone

 

Stumped !! And that's the wicket Ravindra Jadeja gets Dinesh Chandimal as the batter comes out of the crease and tries to hit over the bowler's head but misses the ball;l and Ishan Kishan does the rest. Ravindra Jadeja with the Pushpa celebration there 

9:29 PM

IND vs SL | 1st T20I | SL 50-3 | Overs 09 | Target 200- 50 comes up for Sri Lanka

 

Four runs and four of them singles have come from this over so far

 

And yet another single take Sri Lanka to their 50 at the end of the ninth over

9:26 PM

IND vs SL | 1st T20I | SL 45-3 | Overs 09 | Target 200- Six from Chandimal

 

Six !! Chandimal has hit that very long 82 meter six that is from the Sri Lankan 

 

And yet only eight runs come from this over

9:23 PM

IND vs SL | 1st T20I | SL 37-3 | Overs 07 | Target 200- Liyanage gone

 

Venkatesh Iyer comes into the attack, quite a different bowling change from the Indian captain 

 

So far seven runs have come from the over and Vnakatesh Iyer strikes

 

Venky keeps on picking wicket as it was a slower one and it was wide outside off and instead of going offside, Liyanage played all over it and managed to edge it to Point where Sanju Samson took it with ease 

9:19 PM

IND vs SL | 1st T20I | SL 29-2 | Overs 06 | Target 200- Asalnka survives a close call

 

Dropped !! Yuzvendara Chahal comes into the attack and gets Asalanka to come out of the crease and strike it hard but Iyer drops him here 

 

Once again the batter comes out of the crease, but no timing from him 

 

Got him!! A loud appeal for LBW by Yuzvendara Chahal and the umpire after a long thought gave him out and very predictably Asalanka goes for the review

 

And the replays show that it might have hit the Sri Lankan on the hand and not the pads. Well it has hit him on the bat and thus he is saved 

9:12 PM

IND vs SL | 1st T20I | SL 25-2 | Overs 05 | Target 200- Quiet over

 

Harshal Patel has been introduced into the attack and starts with a slower ball 

 

Asalanka and Liyanage need to build a partnership here 

 

Misfield!! But that did not cost much as the Sri Lankan batters got only one run eventually 

 

So far only two runs have come from the fifth over and Sri Lanka are already getting behind 

 

Wow!! That could have been four easily as the batter managed to get it over the infield, but the ball volunteered not to travel and poor running from Sri Lanka resulted in just two runs 

9:08 PM

IND vs SL | 1st T20I | SL 22-2 | Overs 04 | Target 200- Cheeky from Asalanka

 

Charith Asalanka, one of the key batters of Sri Lanka come in as Jasprit Bumrah is in for his second over

 

Four!! And that's brilliant from Asalanka. What a proper upper cut that was he directed the bouncer over short third man for four runs 

9:03 PM

IND vs SL | 1st T20I | SL 15-2 | Overs 03 | Target 200- Mishara gone

 

Dropped!! It has been a day of drops and one more in that list now as Venkatesh Iyer circled the ball hit high by Kamil Mishara and in the end could only manage to drop it 

 

Bhuvneshwar Kumar could have got two

 

Gone!! Well he has two now though as Mishara once again goes for a fancy pull and manage to get it straight to short mid-wicket where Rohit Sharma plucked it easily 

9:00 PM

IND vs SL | 1st T20I | SL 12-1 | Overs 02 | Target 200- Bumrah Starts off well

 

Jasprit Bumarah started his spell well even as he was worked away for four by the youngster Kamil Mishara

 

Janith Liyanage and Mishara both are looking good and they must carry on if Sri Lanka are to have any chance in the game 

8:58 PM

IND vs SL | 1st T20I | SL 6-1 | Overs 01 | Target 200- Bowled him

 

A wicket on the very first ball of the over and a four in the over as well as a leading-edge and the event full over still produced six runs as Bhuvneshwar Kumar took the wicket of Pathum Nissanka 

8:39 PM

IND vs SL | 1st T20I | IND 199-2 | Overs 20- India finish on a high

 

Six!! Once again Shreyas fins the ball in the slot and a slower one at that from Chameera to Iyer and he just clobbered it for six runs. He is making good use of  dropped chance 

 

Four!! After bringing up his fifty with a double on the second ball, Iyer once again plays it fine and brings up four more 

 

Great shot once again, but only for two runs 

 

India need two runs to get to 200. Can they do it?

 

Jadeja gets a full toss, but could only get it as far as long-on and a single came of that and India finish exactly on 199

8:34 PM

IND vs SL | 1st T20I | IND 183-2 | Overs 19- 18 runs from the over

 

Six!! That's gigantic from Iyer as he timed that ball to perfection. That was a huge six 

 

Four!! Chamika Karunaratne is having a very bad day at the office as he bowls a full toss which is sliced for four towards the third man

 

After two very ordinary balls, Chamika bowls a wide as well

 

Four!! Poor, very poor from Chamika Karunaratne as he gives away a lot of runs here 

8:29 PM

IND vs SL | 1st T20I | IND 165-2 | Overs 18- Shreyas dropped

 

Ravindra Jadeja comes in to get the right and left combination going 

 

Single to start the innings here for Jadeja who is making a comeback 

 

Four!! Short from Chameera and Shreyas Iyer pulled that for four runs in the gap between mid-wicket and deep square leg 

 

And it is dropped again as the ball took the leading edge of Iyer's bat and swirled in the air which Jayawickerama was not able to take 

8:25 PM

IND vs SL | 1st T20I | IND 155-2 | Overs 17- Kishan gone

 

Dasunm Shanka, the Sri Lankan captain comes in for the 17th over of the innings. 

 

At 88, Ishan Kishan is nearing a century and he would become only the fourth Indian after Rohit Sharma, KL Rahul and Suresh Raina to reach that milestone

 

Four!! That's a brilliant shot from Shreyas Iyer 

 

Gone!! Ishan Kishan would not be able to bring up his hundred today, but no doubt that it was one of the top innings in T20Is for sure. He goes for 89 from 56 balls and Sri Lanka skipper gets his wicket
