SL 94-2 (10 ovs) vs India | Scorecard


All-rounder Vijay Shankar comes into the attack. Mendis gets a single from the first ball before Tharanga is beaten off the next ball followed by four singles as five come from the over.

Tharanga goes after Chahal as he lofts the leggie straight down the ground for a six over long-on.

The spinner is brave enough to again flight the next ball as Tharanga hits him powerfully down to long-on for one.

Chahal drops it short as Mendis pulls it comfortably over square leg for the second six of the over, in which he goes for 17 runs.

Mendis walks across his stumps and paddle scoops Shankar fine on the leg side for two runs as the fielder does well to stop the boundary.

He then misses the pull shot before Shankar gets one to bounce alarmingly beating the right-hander as wicketkeeper Dinesh Karthik does well to half stop it.

Shankar then gifts Tharanga a full toss which he despatches over the covers for a four and picks up two runs from the last ball.

Unadkat comes back into the attack. And the left-arm pacer does well to build up some pressure, giving away just two runs from five balls before Mendis heaves the last ball over square leg for a six.

Sri Lanka are well placed on 94 for two in 10 overs with Mendis on fire with a quickfire 48 from 29 balls, while Tharanga is on 20.
