SL 80-2 (15 ovs) vs India | Scorecard

Mendis manages to break the shackles with a couple of boundaries against Pandya. He does well to open the face of the bat and run a full delivery past Dhoni for a four before he plays the powerful square cut for another boundary to get 10 runs from the over.

But yet again Sri Lanka lose a wicket just when they were looking to build a partnership. Gunathilaka comes down the track but is beaten by the googly from Chahal as Dhoni completes an easy stumping despite a fumble.

The left-hander walks back after a sedate knock of 19 from 37 balls.

Dhoni completes 99 stumpings with that dismissal as he later reveals to the bowler that he was blinded by the batsman coming down and hence the fumble.

Captain Upul Tharanga gets a full toss first up which he drives through the covers to get off the mark.

The next ball is full and turns away as Tharanga edges but it falls short of Virat Kohli at slip.

However, Chahal drops it short next ball and the left-hander gets it behind point for a four, his second from the first three balls faced.

Two singles from the last two balls as Sri Lanka reach 80 for two in 15 overs.
