July 28, 2021 20:40

India 51-1 (8 ovs) vs SL | Scorecard

Captain Shanaka brings himself into the attack. Gaikwad is beaten by the slower ball as he comes down the track before he mistimes the pull next ball for a single.

Dhawan steers the third ball to fine leg for two runs and pulls the next for one.

Shanaka makes the breakthrough with the wicket of Gaikwaid, who top edges the pull shot and is caught by the wicketkeeper for 21 from 18 balls.

Off-spinner Ramesh Mendis comes into the attack. He starts off well with three good deliveries pitched in a good area on and around the off-stump as Dhawan plays three dots in a row.

He taps the fourth ball to square leg for one before debutant Devdutt Padikkal is beaten all ends up by a beauty. He pushes forward to defend but the ball turns away enough to beat the bat and narrowly misses the off-stump.

He gets off the mark with a single from the last ball for his first run in international cricket.
