India 18-0 (3 ovs) vs SL | Scorecard

Nuwan Pradeep to open the bowling for Sri Lanka. Shikhar Dhawan lets the first three balls go through before he looks to steers one to thirdman but can't find the gap.

Dhawan edges the last ball of the over but it flies past the fielder at third slip for a four to get India off the mark.

Spin from the other end straightaway as Rangana Herath takes the new ball. KL Rahul gets an inside edge off the first ball for a couple on the leg side before he takes one.

Dhawan gets another edge but if falls short before he comes down the track and lofts Herath back over his head for a six. In the last match too, Dhawan was severe on the left-arm spinner and here again he is looking to be positive.

He keeps strike with a single from the last ball with an easy run to long-on.

Dhawan looks to cut a short ball from Pradeep but it stays low, beating the left-hander. However, he gets the next ball perfectly in the gap for a boundary as India race to 18 for no loss in three overs.
