Sri Lanka vs India Live Cricket Score

OUT! Asalanka departs just when he was starting to look dangerous for the Men in Blue. Had had been dealing in sixes so far, having collected four of them so far including two back-to-back maximums off Yuzi Chahal, and had narrowly beaten a leaping Gill at cow corner earlier in Malik's third over. He attempts to go big in the same direction in the penultimate delivery, but doesn't quite get the distance this time and ends up offering the simplest of catches to Gill. SL 138/5

OUT! Both Lankan openers are back in the dugout now! Nissanka, who had been dropped on 31 by Chahal in the previous over, adds just two more runs before debutant Tripathi pulls off a superb catch at deep midwicket running to his left. The TV Umpire has a quick look after it is referred to him by his on-field colleagues, and the replay leaves little room for doubt. SL 96/3

The fiery start by Mendis and Nissanka has ensured Sri Lanka are on course for a massive score even if they have lost two wickets in quick succession. Nissanka smashes a 148kmph bolt from Malik straight down the ground to give the Men in Blue a reminder of the threat that he still poses to them.

BOWLED EM! The Indians are finally starting to fight back after getting plundered for runs so far. Rajapaksa follows Mendis back to the pavilion shortly after his arrival at the crease, getting beaten by Malik's pace as the ball rattles the stumps. The crowd has discovered its voice again after being quiet for the most part so far. The players will have a drink after this dismissal. SL 83/2

OUT! Yuzi Chahal with the breakthrough as Kusal Mendis is trapped leg-before shortly after bringing up his half-century. The umpire however, had initially turned it down, and the legspinner looked absolutely convinced while urging Pandya to take this upstairs. He stands vindicated in the end as the Indians get three reds on HawkEye. End of a superb knock from the Sri Lankan vice-captain, giving the visitors just the start that they were looking for in this must-win clash. SL 80/1

After 8 overs,Sri Lanka 80/0 ( Pathum Nissanka 23 , Kusal Mendis (W) 52)

SIX! Kusal Mendis brings up his half-century — his 11th in T20Is — in style, slashing hard at a length ball outside off, the ball sailing over the man standing in front of the third man boundary. What a knock this has been from the Sri Lankan keeper-batter, consuming just 27 balls to bring up the milestone, smashing four sixes and two fours along the way. Sri Lanka, meanwhile, are motoring along at 10-an-over at the moment and will fancy posting a score in excess of 200.
