India vs Sri Lanka 1st T20I Live Score Updates: India win by two runs

 

Waited for the wide ball, but it was definitely inside the line and therefore not called wide 

 

Running for the double and it was always going to the run-out chance and Kasun Rajitha has been run out here 

 

Four needed off 1 ball and it cannot be super over now because taking three runs in Wankhede is really difficult 

 

So in the end, it would be just a single and India win by two runs. But what a brilliant innings by Karunaratne 

 

10:38 PM

India vs Sri Lanka 1st T20I Live Score Updates: 5 needed off 3 balls

 

Wide off the first ball

 

And Rajitha takes a single and gives the strike to Karunaratne, the man who matters

 

That could have been wide, but was not given

 

Six!! No matter says Karunaratne as he picks the short ball and pulls it for a six 

 

10:34 PM

India vs Sri Lanka 1st T20I Live Score Updates: Drama in the 19th, 13 needed off 6

 

Six!! After the misfield on the last ball which cost India three runs, Chamiuka Karunaratne has hit a six over deep square leg and the match is suddenly alive once again

 

On the last ball Rajitha just needs to swing it for the heavens as even if he gets out, it won’t matter. But guess what happens, he takes a single and now it is 13 needed off 6 balls and seems like Hardik himself would bowl the over. No, it is Axar Patel  

 

10:29 PM

India vs Sri Lanka 1st T20I Live Score Updates: No-ball called, Free hit to Chamika

 

A no-ball has been called by the leg umpire even as there is a check for the run-out is definitely a not out. Now, Karunaratne would have a fee hit and Sri Lanka would want him to dispatch it for a six and keep the match alive

India vs Sri Lanka 1st T20I Live Score Updates: Shanaka departs, a lucky break for Umran and India

 

After a huge delay due to the DRS on a catch-out call, Shanka got an easy delivery to dismiss and yet he hit that straight to covers where Chahal took a good catch to get rid of the Lankan captain. 

 

10:17 PM

India vs Sri Lanka 1st T20I Live Score Updates: Shanaka sinks one into the stands

 

Dasun Shanka has hit one directly into the stand. It was a quick delivery from Umran and all it needed was timing and it was provided well enough by the Sri Lankan captain. Now, the runs needed have gone down to 34 off 22 balls. 

 

On the last ball, Shanaka cut it hard but it was well fielded by Hooda at the backward point 

 

10:13 PM

Dasun Shanka is playing the innings that are expected of him as he has hit 13 off this Harshal Patel over which included a six and a four. Sri Lanka now need 40 off the last four and if he stays, those runs might not be too difficult to make

India vs Sri Lanka 1st T20I Live Score Updates: Not with a direct hit, but Mavi gets Hasaranga eventually

 

Shivam Mavi eventually has his man Hasaranag as he bowls a slower one and Hasaranga, in an effort to get it over mid-off with an inside-out shot, lacked the elevation as the ball went straight into the hands of mid-off and Sri Lanka are six down. 

 

10:02 PM

India vs Sri Lanka 1st T20I Live Score Updates: A direct hit would have seen Hasaranga walking back

 

Shivam Mavi bowled a short of a length ball and Shanka played it towards the short leg. It should have been a sure single, but the Sri Lankan skipper declined and Hasaranga, who was at the non-striker’s end, almost hugged Mavi in his follow-through, he ran back and had Mavi hit the stumps directly, Sri Lanka would have been six down. But not to be as Hasarnga survives.
