SL 13-0 (3 ovs) vs India | Scorecard

Bhuvneshwar Kumar opens the bowling for India under slightly overcast conditions in Pallekele.

Niroshan Dickwella gets an inside edge off the first ball which misses the stumps and gets the Sri Lankan opener a single to get off the mark.

Danushka Gunathilaka also gets off the mark with a single off the fourth ball as two runs come from the first over.

Jasprit Bumrah starts off with a maiden. Left-hander Gunathilaka is beaten by one which moves away enough to beat the edge, which cautiously defends the rest of the over.

Dickwella has had enough of the defending. He lofts Bhuvneshwar over mid-on for a four and then flicks the next one through midwicket for three runs.

Gunathilaka also takes a cue from his partner as he lofts the last ball over mid-off for another four.

Team India is unchanged whereas Sri Lanka rope in Dushmantha Chameera, Akila Dhananjaya and Milinda Siriwardana.

This series is not making for a good spectacle for the home fans, who clearly let their displeasure known during the first One Day International.  

India elect to bowl.

India will once again be expected to be at their ruthless best when they take on a deflated Sri Lanka in the second One-Day International, in Pallekele.The hosts have hit nadir in both form and confidence, and, after a lop-sided 3-0 Test series victory, the script did not change much in the opening ODI, where India steamrolled the opposition by nine wickets.
