India 220-1 (28.5 ovs) vs Sri Lanka 216 all out (43.2 ovs) | Scorecard

India beat Sri Lanka by 9 wickets to start the ODI series with a bang.

Dhawan and Kohli stitched up a 197-run partnership as India cruised to victory.

Spinner Hasaranga is brought back into the attack and India complete the chase with ease.

Dhawan scores the winning runs with a boundary down the ground.

The last ball of that Malinga over is bludgeoned for a four straight down the ground by Kohli.

India now need 3 runs for victory.

With 11 runs needed in 22 overs, India are running away with the game here.

India have totally dominated the Lankans in this chase.

Both batsmen are now tearing the bowling. The runs are coming thick and fast.

200 comes up in the 27th over.

The Lankan bowlers are being treated with utter disdain and there is no semblance of a fight put up by the hosts.

The hosts are just resigned to their fate now.

Malinga brought back into the attack and nearly gets the wicket of Dhawan. Dhawan goes for the big hoick and is put down in the deep.
