00:00It's a match of this ODI series. We're at the Primadosa Stadium in Colombo. One last time Sri Lanka versus India. What a turnaround it's been for Sri Lanka as well, who lost the...
00:21Clips in place. Over the leg side, chipped away, runs to start the match. In fact, it will be a boundary. Up the order. That has gone fine. That'll be another boundary. Just a little too straight.
00:40Again from Siraj. Almost a defensive field. Cannot bowl with that width though. That is beautifully timed. Back with a point for four.
00:52That's picked off beautifully and the timing is still exquisite from Nisanker who's dealing. That's nicely played. He's got the timing on that one. The fifth boundary of the...
01:17Oh, that's much better. That is much better. And I can tell you that Abhishek will breathe a sigh of relief. You know why? Because from not to...
01:28Option to have in abrasive pitches. So that's something he can have. This is a good shot. Don't think it's a bad delivery. It's a mid-line leg stump. But the head position of Abhishek Fernando was...
01:40Continuing to come in which is very healthy. Good shot. Very good shot. Six. The first six of the match. It was bowled a little bit slower and fuller.
01:52The difference for me is... There he goes. No one in front of square. One bounce for four. Come back to that point. A wonderful shot from...
02:05Again. Better hit. It's six this time.
02:13That's 20-23. More than thousand runs. Good average.
02:19Missed field. Missed field. You can't afford that. Oh, it runs away. Keep it going. You've got to keep the streets open.
02:28Nice. Nicely hit. How good was that? Straight in the gap.
02:34Oh, now's the chance. This should be it. Should be number one. Punt calls and takes initially.
02:48Negate the spin and negate... The number of dot balls you play. Nicely squirted away. And it brings up his 50, Abhishek Fernando.
03:01Siraj comes back. Induces the outside edge. That's one of those days for Abhishek Fernando. Runs away to the boundary.
03:12Game plan. In the air. Just evading Shubman Gill. Siraj thought it was an opportunity.
03:24Short ball again. Same result again. Back-to-back sixes. You bowl short. I will hit you out of the ground.
03:34Joker attempted. But no chance for Washington Sundar. 150 up for Sri Lanka with...
03:45Where boundary is now open. Instead, it's a better option. Kusal Mendis found it pitched up closer to him.
03:56Why go square between the dressing room and the batsman? There he goes. One bounce. And he's getting closer.
04:08Now that is a good one. That is a very good one. And that looked good as well.
04:22Down on one knee. Walked it for six. Sri Lanka does not want to allow Riyan Farag to set...
04:31Asked it. Given. Farag, that one quicker. And it straightens down the line.
04:43And they feel like... Big shout. Big shout. Was it pad first? They are pleading. That was fastest rate from Sri Lanka.
04:54In the gap. In the gap. Just lent into it. Not an easy shot to play considering how Siraj is bowling.
05:03You also want to have a look at who is going to be more effective. Bowled in. Little quicker. Keplow plays it on to the stumps.
05:14And India, they keep Riyan Farag and Mohamed Siraj. Bowled. Farag gets a third and he's got Villal again.
05:26The wickets continue to... This time he gets connection. And it will be a boundary.
05:37In the same direction again. Same result once again. Back to back.
05:54In the air and in the gap. A definite change of gear for Kusal Mendis. A boundary to begin the 49th.
06:02In the air. Subhman Gill. Takes it in the end. Great boundary rope awareness during match situations.
06:18Big slog and another man goes. Kuldip Yadav. As easy as it gets. Completed by Rishabh Pant and Sri Lanka lose their 8th.
06:32Kuldip Yadav. He had enough time to change his line and length because Thikshana was out of the crease very early.
06:41And bowls this one wide from the right hand batter Thikshana. An easy stumping in the end by Rishabh Pant.
06:48So two wickets for Kuldip Yadav and it's last over. Oh! We may have to look at it again.
07:01He's come back. And the bat is grounded. He's moving forward. It bounces up. Keep going. Keep going.
07:24Roll it forward. Roll it forward. Roll it forward. And then down. So the bat was grounded and it's bounced up as he's moving forward and back down. So ready for my decision.
07:50He's given out.
07:55Ok. The right decision is made in the end. Not out. Not out is the decision.
08:01They can take that run chase forward.
08:04That's massive. Tie up in the air. Washington Sundar will watch it sail over the long gone fence.
08:10Nails the yorker. Could well be a couple of runs. Hamindu runs back. Gets the couple. And Sri Lanka will end on 248 for 7.
08:30Last 3 overs. 31 runs after that mini collapse. They've come back strongly. Sri Lanka are supposed to score close to 250.
08:40The last 2 overs have yielded some valuable runs for Sri Lanka. They end up with 248 for 7 from the stipulated 50 overs. Last 90 balls. 83 runs with a loss of 6 wickets. So it's 248 for 7.
09:10Thanks for watching.
