Kishan on the attack; India race past 100

July 18, 2021 20:26

India 109-1 (13 ovs) vs Sri Lanka 262-9 | Scorecard

More spin for Sri Lanka as off-spinner Charith Asalanka comes into the attack.

Dhawan happy to play it safe as he defends the first couple of balls and then takes a single on the leg side.

Kishan also happy to bat with caution against the off-spinner as he blocks out the last three balls.

In the next over, Dhawan drives Sandakan through the covers for one and Kishan pushes the next for another easily single on the off-side.

The two left-handers happy to milk the bowling with singles and cruise towards the target, instead of taking any unnecessary risks.

Slightly short from Sandakan as Kishan is rushed into the pull which he miscues but it falls well short of the mid-on and he keeps strike with one from the last ball.

Birthday boy Kishan takes on Asalanka as he charges the spinner and lofts a full toss back over his head for a four.

Two balls later, he lofts the spinner down the ground as Chameera at long-on ends up flicking the ball over the boundary for a six as India go past the 100-run mark, in the 13th over.
