Rohit slams ton, Dhoni hits 50; India close in on win
August 27, 2017



India 198-4 (43 ovs) vs SL 217-9 | Scorecard

Three singles from Dananjaya's final over as he finishes with good figures of two for 38 in 10 overs, which gave Sri Lanka hope after a below-par batting effort.

It is proving to be too easy for the Indian batsmen as they calmly deal in singles and twos and inch closer to the target.

Chameera bowls a short ball as Dhoni cuts it powerfully over point for a four to bring up fifty in grand style, from 74 balls.

The last ball is again wide as Dhoni steers it past point but Malinga does well on the thirdman fence to keep it down to two.
