India 63-3 (7/19 ovs) vs SL 152-9 | Scorecard


Pacer Dushmantha Chameera comes into the attack. Rahul cuts the first ball uppishly for a single to thirdman before Raina pulls the next fine on the leg side for a four.

Chameera beats Raina with a full delivery which moves away enough to beat the edge of the bat.

However, he drops short again and Raina pulls it square this time for another boundary. The left-hander then clubs the next ball over midwicket for a six to continue his fiery start, hitting his way to 17 from seven balls.

Raina makes room but can only tap it down to long-off before he sneaks a quick single off the last ball.

India have managed to keep the run rate in control as they reach 50 for two in six overs.

Raina has provided the boost with 20 from 12 balls, while Rahul has made five.

Pacer Nuwan Pradeep comes into the attack. Rahul gets the second ball fine on the leg side for a four before Raina pulls the fourth ball over the fine leg fence for a six.

But Pradeep gets revenge with the wicket of Raina, who looks for the lofted shot down the ground but is caught at mid-off after a quickfire 27 from 15 balls.
