Dhawan slams 45-ball half-century

August 12, 2017 11:31

India 100-0 (18 ovs) vs SL | Scorecard

The runs are coming quite easily for the Indians, especially, with Sri Lanka going on the defensive and spreading their fielders around to stop the flow of boundaries.

Four singles come off Karunaratne's fifth over and the two openers do the same in the next over off Perera.

Lahiru comes back and continues to leak boundaries. He starts his new spell with a wide full delivery which is crashed through the covers by Rahul before he takes one.

Dhawan punches the fourth ball through the covers for a fifty to race to his fifty, from just 45 balls, having hit eight fours. That also raises India's 100 in the 18th over as they continue to assert their domination.
