SL 36-0 (6 ovs) vs India | Scorecard

Dickwella takes on Bumrah as he makes room and flays the pacer square on the off-side for a four. The next ball is short and this time the left-hander pulls it over the fine leg region for a six followed by a quick single.

Bhuvneshwar, who went for runs in his previous over, makes a good comeback as he concedes just three runs in his third over. The experienced pacer does well to mix his pace and keep the batsmen guessing.

However, Bumrah continues to suffer. He tries the short ball but Dickwella whips it over the fine leg region for a six using the bottom hand to good effect.

He continues to shuffle around the crease. This time, Dickwella looks to make room but can only defend the yorker from Bumrah before he takes a single from the last ball.

Sri Lank off to a good start as they race to 36 for no loss in six overs with Dickwella smashing 27 from just 15 balls.
