India vs SL 1st T20 @ Pallekele on 27th July 7pm IST - Page 17

Anjan: "Pathirana deserved a 5-wicket haul. SL have dropped 2-3 catches and that made it possible for India to score over 200."

Matheesha Parthirana is Matheesah Pathirana. He did what he is supposed to do. A bit expensive but took 4 wickets.

Who is in our bowling who can match Parthirana?

At one point, India were well on course for a total in excess of 225, but Pathirana's variations have dragged them back to 213 for 7. The slinger comes away with 4 for 40 in his four overs. For India, SKY did SKY things in his first innings as permanent India captain, hitting 58 off 26 balls. He launched from the platform laid by Gill and Jaiswal. Pant struggled in the early exchanges but managed to finish with 49 off 33 balls. Shashank will be back with you for the start of SL's chase.

Damn losing wkt in end end overs costed us. Only 213 runs we managed. We were in course to 225+

Same here . Seems just pr , over rated n over hyped n instead of wasting the space can give to others . doesn’t fit for t20 . For t20 can make hardik pandya as captain n sky as vc . Can take Nitish r Sai sudharshan .

This has been a dominating display from the Indians and they'll be quite chuffed with the score they've on the board. Yashasvi Jaiswal and Shubman Gill started briskly and added 74 for the opening wicket inside the batting PP. Both fell off consecutive balls, but the stage had been set for a Suryakumar Yadav special, the newly named captain didn't disappoint, making a 26-ball 58, Rishabh Pant was pretty scratchy, but he stayed on and made a 33-ball 49 - Matheesha Pathirana dragged his team back in the later overs with a four wicket burst, but the Indians had by then got a big score on the board. The Sri Lankan batters are coming on the back of a high-scoring LPL, but this will be an all-new challenge awaiting them. Back for the reply soon..
