🏏India tour of Sri Lanka: 1st ODI at Colombo @ 2:30 PM IST🏏 - Page 48

Asalanka to Axar, FOUR, much needed boundary.

Sharat Verma : "The way Rohit and Gill had started it looked like to be a 30 over game for India. Now it's like a true 50 over game."

I feel Axar will be POTM as Ind will definitely win

IND's score stands at 175-5 after 37 overs

This pair might have calmed things down for India but the game is still in balance. One more wicket and Sri Lanka are right back in it. The asking rate is not a problem but run-scoring has been difficult

Shankar: "Definitely a good game plan between KL and Axar, they need to plan to carry on for another 25-30 runs, and then go for it to finish in Style"

KL Rahul finds the boundary, FOUR runs

Hasaranga to Rahul, FOUR

Hasaranga to Rahul, FOUR, first boundary for Rahul. Hasaranga starts his new spell with a half tracker, it was the googly that dragged down, Rahul rocks back and nails the pull over mid-wicket, one bounce and over the ropes

IND reaches 183 runs for the loss of 5 wickets after 38 overs
