Openers Rahane, Dhawan slam 50s; India in control
November 02, 2014  15:33
 India 145-0 (25 ovs) vs SL | Scorecard

India take the Batting Powerplay very early, at the start of the 24th over. A sensible decision by the hosts given their two openers are looking in good touch and scoring freely.

Pacer Dammika Prasad comes back with the fielding restrictions in place for the next five overs. Two singles from the first three balls before Dhawan crashes it through midwicket for a boundary as India get six runs from the over.

Pace from both ends as Gamage is brought back from the other end. He starts with a high bounce catching Rahane by surprise who had come down the track. Two balls later, he lofts a full delivery over long-on for a boundary and then plays the inside out chip over mid-off for the same result.

Dhawan pulls the fifth ball for another boundary to get 15 runs from the over as India race to 145 for no loss in 25 overs.
