IND vs SL 1st ODI
India began their tour of Sri Lanka with an ODI match at Galle, marking Gautam Gambhir’s inaugural assignment as Head Coach, as well as Suryakumar Yadav’s maiden series as full-time T20I captain of their side.
Both sides looked strong on paper, but India ultimately proved superior. Rohit and Kohli batted superbly to help India post an impressive total and then bowlers SKY and Gill did their part to keep Lanka at bay.
Lower order did the damage in the end; Nissanka played an outstanding innings to reach his first T20I ton, ably supported by Wellalage who made 70 off 48 balls. Kuldeep then took the final wicket in Super Over to seal India’s win – handshakes followed and it had been another riveting tie in T20I cricket! We will all meet back up again next Sunday for another thrilling ODI, broadcast live around the globe on Disney+Hostar!
IND vs SL 3rd ODI
Sri Lanka and India must win this third ODI for pride’s sake; after an embarrassing loss in the second ODI, visitors Sri Lanka are out to redeem some pride against defending champions India and avoid an innings whitewash.
As World Cup preparations draw nearer, this series will include three ODIs and three T20Is across India. Both teams will look to use these games as opportunities to test themselves against one another before embarking on their World Cup preparations.
Sri Lanka continues their batting struggles as they can only manage 227 runs from 47 overs, without much of a fightback from senior batsmen. They need someone with experience to step forward and show they still mean business.
Early on, Ravi Shankar had opened with Thirimanne to become the highest run scorer for the tourists with an 80-ball innings that yielded just 27 runs for them – too little, too late.
IND vs SL 4th ODI
Rohit Sharma’s impressive batting led India to an emphatic win against Sri Lanka at Eden Gardens. The opener again dismantled their attack as he raced toward another double century in one-day international cricket.
He began his innings on an impressive note, milking Nuwan Kulasekara for sixes and fours in his opening over. Later, he hit him through square leg for boundaries before smashing him for more through square leg and midwicket for more runs.
Rahane then formed an impressive partnership of 95 with Kohli as they controlled the middle overs. Unfortunately, Stuart Binny sent Rahane back for being caught out to Sri Lankan wicketkeeper Thisara Perera – sending Rahane back home.
Axar Patel struck early, dismissing Prasanna and Mendis to reduce Sri Lanka to 89/6 in an over.
Sri Lanka’s batting then faltered badly and they could never muster an adequate total to defend. Angelo Mathews offered some resistance by reaching his 34th ODI fifty, but ultimately it was all over for them as another heavy defeat was handed out and their hopes for direct qualification for the World Cup were further dented.
IND vs SL 5th ODI
Sri Lankan bowlers have done an admirable job in keeping run rates in check, yet batsmen such as Mathews and Thirimanne have failed to push Sri Lanka past 300 runs in total.
WICKET! Kuldeep finally finds the breakthrough he was after as Rohit attempts to slog sweep but misses, and Tharanga takes an excellent catch at short mid-wicket for Sri Lanka who are currently at 177/6 after 43 overs.
FOUR! Sri Lanka are off to an impressive start in this over, as Kohli dispatches his first boundary through covers for four.
Kohli was bowled by Malinga’s short delivery and attempted to sweep, only producing a top edge which fell between slip and wicket-keeper and Rahane took an easy catch! Kohli now moves onto 111 off 114 balls – his 12th against Sri Lanka and 45th overall in ODIs; also the leading run scorer this series as India currently stand 137/3 after 25 overs, Yuzvendra Chahal will bowl their final over.
Kumar Sangakkara and Thisara Perera worked hard to put Sri Lanka into a winning position despite an initial lack of effort, leading them into the final where they ultimately fell to India.
