India 108-0 (20 ovs) vs SL | Scorecard

Perera comes back into the attack, replacing Pradeep. Four runs from the first four balls before Dhawan pulls a short ball over midwicket for a boundary and keeps strike with one from the last ball.

Spin from both ends as left-armer Sachith Pathirana comes into the attack. Dhawan tries to sweep the last ball and is hit on the pads but the leg before appeal is turned down.

The bowler wants his captain to take the DRS who after a discussion with the keeper decides against it.

However, the replays shows that the ball pitched in line and would have gone on to hit the stumps. But the Ultra Edge reveals that the batsman had got a thin bottom edge and Sri Lanka did well not take the DRS.

Rohit on the attack this time as he lofts Dananjaya over mid-off for a four and then has a close shave off the next ball as the spinner does well to stop the ball with a dive on his right and nearly effects a run out.

Pathirana drops short as Rohit cuts it past point for a four to raise the 100-run stand for the opening wicket from just 19.2 overs.

A couple of singles before the spinner drops short again and this time Rohit pulls it over midwicket for another boundary.

India looking for a huge score as they race to 108 for no loss in 20 overs with Dhawan on 62 from 61 balls and Rohit on 45 from 59 balls.
