Post-Match Review of India vs SL 1st T20

The Indian team just completed a white wash against the mighty West Indies. The Indian team is in high flying momentum right now. Within days after the WI series was concluded India had another small T20 series against their neighbours Sri Lanka.

 

Sri Lanka are touring India for 3 T20 and 2 Tests. The 1st T20 took place yesterday in Lucknow. Indian team had rested key players such as Virat Kohli, Rishabh Pant while 2 key players returned from their respective breaks, Jadeja and Bumrah. India unfortunately hit a setback as 2 of key players in existing squad Deepak Chahar and Ruturaj Gaikwad suffered injuries and it looks like both will miss this tour.


 Sri Lanka won the toss and chose to bowl first. Indian Batsmen especially openers started in full flow. Ishan Kishan went all out attacking and the Indian team in no time put on 100 runs. The 1st wicket fell at 10 over mark when Rohit Sharma departed for a well made 40. Shreyas Iyer joined Kishan and both started to smash SL bowlers all over the park. India ended their Innings at 199. Ishan Kishan and Shreyas Iyer scored respective 50.


 

With a target of 200 on board, it always looked like a tough task for the Sri Lankan team. Sri Lanka started in an awful manner. They kept losing wickets at regular intervals. Sri Lankan Batsmen never had a chance to settle down and then play their shots. The Sri Lankan batsman always faltered and eventually ended up with a score of 137/6 in their 20 overs. Asalanka was lone warrior for Sri Lankan Team. Asalanka scored the only 50 in the Sri Lankan team.

Finally, India won the game by 62 runs and took 1-0 lead in the 3 match series with the remaining 2 games set to be played inDharamshala later in the week.  To follow us on IndvsSL for more such updates regarding this ongoing series.
