July 18, 2021 20:00

India 72-1 (7 ovs) vs Sri Lanka 262-9 | Scorecard

With the pacer going for runs, Sri Lanka make a change as off-spinner Dhananjaya de Silva comes into the attack, to bowl the sixth over.

Dhawan happy to turn the strike over as he takes a single from the secon ball.

Shaw looks to take on the spinner but ends up holing out a simple catch to the fielder at long-on to perish after a quickfire innings of 43 from 24 balls to give his team the perfect start.

No nerves for debutant Ishan Kishan as he smashes the first ball he faces in ODI back over the bowler's head for a six.

The next ball is hit through the off-side for a four as Kishan looks to make most of the fielding restriction in the final over of the Powerplay.

India are off to a flier as they race to 68 for one in six overs, with Dhawan on eight and Kishan on 10.

Dhawan taps pacer Chameera on the leg side for a single before Kishan ducks under a bouncer.

The next ball is again short as Kishan goes for the pull but gets hit on the gloves but wicketkeeper Bhanuka is unable to get to the ball.

Dhawan gets on top of the short ball as he pulls it square for a couple of runs.
