Karunaratne taps the last ball to point for a single. Rajitha manages to work the 1st ball to midwicket for a single and more importantly bring Karunaratne on strike. Rajitha drives the last ball to long-on for a run. Karunaratne leaves the 2nd ball and wants a wide, but the umpire isn’t interested.

After the toss, Pandya said: "We were going to bat first. The Indian side is being led by all-rounder Hardik Pandya.

Hardik said he would have batted anyway because India wanted to challenge themselves in bilateral games.

It seemed all over with 29 required off the last two with two wickets in hand, but Harshal bowled an ordinary 19th over to let Sri Lanka back. When Hasaranga joined him with two successive slog-swept sixes off Yuzvendra Chahal in the 14th over, Sri Lanka were well and truly back with 56 needed off the last six. Kasun Rajitha and Madushanka closed out well but India managed 34 off the last three. Two curious events happened around the last ball of the 19th over. Hasaranga had one over at the death, and Hooda managed to pull one six off him too as he went flatter to get out of that over. Kishan got them off to a rollicking start, taking 26 off the first two overs, but then the masters went to work. Probably looking to get out of the spell, Theekshana dragged down an attempted wrong'un in the 16th over. Eventually Kishan, who had gone from 17 off 8 to 36 off 27, felt the need to slog-sweep everything. This seam-up delivery had come on slowly off the surface. Gill picked a carrom ball, but it landed on the leather to skid on with the angle to trap him lbw. Hooda and Axar then added 68 in 5.5 overs to take India to 162. On the same pitch, India found assistance for fast bowlers with Hardik Pandya joining debutant

CRR: 7.55. RR : 9.60. Batting, R(B), 4s, 6s, SR. Dasun Shanaka*, 25(16), 2, 1, 156.25. Wanindu Hasaranga, 21(9), 1, 2, 233.33. Bowling, O, M, R, W.

19.2 Axar to Karunaratne, no run, flatter and outside off, Karunaratne moves away and then allows it to pass. He thought it was a wide but it was clearly inside the marker. 19.4 Axar to Karunaratne, no run, this is turning into a cat and mouse contest. Ishan Kishan joins in and this must be about where to bowl because they can't do much about the field. 19.5 Axar to Karunaratne, out Rajitha Run Out!! I use the matchups really well and that's the reason we restricted India to 162. But Mavi, who had picked up the first two wickets, came back and broke the partnership and Umran followed it up with the big wicket of Shanaka a couple of overs later. I am coming on the back of domestic cricket and know how to target the spinners. If the same situation is there then yes, I have worked on my swing bowling and I have worked on that (inswinger), I am bowling in nets and I like bowling with the new ball. They lost a couple of wickets early and could not keep up with the asking rate, the impetus to the innings came when Shanaka walked out to the middle and started to send a few balls into the crowd, he was supported by Hasaranga and at that stage the visitors looked favorites. Hooda and Axar played a couple of cameos to get them to a par total and then the bowlers came to the party, led by debutant Shivam Mavi. Player of the Match: I try my best to practice according to the number I bat.
