India 21-0 (5 ovs) vs SL | Scorecard

Left-arm pacer Vishwa Fernando to open the bowling for Sri Lanka as the dangerous in-form duo of Shikhar Dhawan and KL Rahul stride out to the middle to open the batting for the Indians.

The first ball is on the pads as Dhawan turns it on the leg side for a single to get off the mark. Rahul also gets the next ball on the leg side for a couple before he repeats the shot off the fifth ball to pick up two more runs and gets a leg bye from the last ball.

Pacer Lahiru Kumara, who was dropped for the second match after a below-par showing in the first, to bowl the second over. He makes a good start this time around as he begins with a maiden, to KL Rahul.

Dhawan goes hard at a wide one, trying to force a full delivery from Fernando through the covers but gets an edge which goes through the gap between the slips for the first four of the Indian innings.

Rahul gets his first boundary in the next over as he guides a full delivery from Lahiru over the slips for a four.

The pacer again guilty of bowling some poor length, this time a short wide delivery is cracked through point by Dhawan for the second four of the over as 11 come from it.

Fernando bowls a maiden over to Rahul but India are off to a good start as they reach 21 for no loss in five overs.
