India off to a flier after SL post 262

July 18, 2021 19:30

India 22-0 (2 ovs) vs Sri Lanka 262-9 | Scorecard

Shikhar Dhawan and Prithvi Shaw are the two openers for India, who will be looking for a quick start in pursuit of the challenging target of 263.

Dushmantha Chameera to open the bowling for Sri Lanka, who will be buoyed with their late recovery with the bat.

The first ball is on the stumps as Shaw defends before he punches the next ball through the covers for a four, to get off the mark in grand style.

Another short ball from Chameera as Shaw crashes it past point for another four before the next ball on the stumps is tapped on the leg side for a single, to get nine runs from the over.

Left-arm pacer Isuru Udana from the other end. He starts with two wides to Shaw, who then glances another leg side delivery fine for a four.

Udana struggling with his control as he bowls his third wide before Shaw clips the next through square leg for a couple of runs.

Shaw shuffles across but can't get the length ball on the leg stump and is struck on the pads.

He times the last ball beautifully through midwicket for his fourth boundary, to race to 19 from 10 balls, with India racing 22 for no loss in two overs.
