Shami leads rout of Sri Lanka as India advance unbeaten into semi-finals

Mohammed Siraj, Mohammed Shami and Jasprit Bumrah razed Sri Lanka for 55 at Mumbai's Wankhede Stadium, sealing India's seventh successive win of the World Cup and their spot in the semi-finals. India's quick bowling triplet was so exciting with the new ball that the scores of Sri Lanka's main five read like a line of double code: 0, 0, 1, 0, 1. At the point when Shami likewise had Nos. 7 and 8 for ducks with the score on 29, Sri Lanka were in serious peril of collapsing for the least complete in ODI cricket. They were at last packaged out in 19.4 overs as India finished the fourth-greatest win in the arrangement, and Shami's 5 for 18 made him India's most noteworthy wicket-taker in World Cups. It was the third time that India had excused Sri Lanka for under 100 in ODIs in 2023, and their second 300 or more run triumph against them this year. The absolute first ball from Bumrah was a sign for the bloodletting that was to follow. He went wide of the wrinkle, got a full ball to point in and afterward swing ceaselessly late to pound Pathum Nissanka's back cushion. Siraj additionally hit with his most memorable ball, sticking Dimuth Karunaratne lbw. Four balls later, with a supported cordon, Siraj had the in-structure Sadeera Samarawickrama got at third slip. Yet, it was the excusal of skipper Kusal Mendis that stuck out. Mentors frequently educate bowlers to hit that bail-managing length - excessively short to drive nor adequately short to pull or cut. Siraj not just hit that bail-managing length to beat Mendis' external edge, he likewise broke the bails. At 3 for 4, with only one of those runs off the bat, Sri Lanka's batting line-up was likewise broken. Angelo Mathews and the lower request attempted to fix it, however everything they could do was to drag Sri Lanka to 55 - five runs more than whatever they had overseen in the Asia Cup last at the Premadasa in September recently. The presentation of India's quick bowlers eclipsed that of their players and Dilshan Madushanka's lady five-wicket pull in worldwide cricket. Madushanka had quieted the Wankhede with his subsequent ball - a Mustafizur Rahman-esque shaper that sent Rohit Sharma's off stump cartwheeling. Four of Madushanka's five wickets were down to his capacity to move his fingers across the ball. However, the remainder of Sri Lanka's assault kept on spilling runs, as has been the situation all through this competition. Virat Kohli took steps to join Sachin Tendulkar at the first spot on this list with 49 ODI hundreds at a scene where a sculpture of Tendulkar was uncovered just before this game. The Wankhede stood by eagerly, however Madushanka had different thoughts, excusing Kohli 12 shy of the milestone. Sri Lanka might have stopped Kohli's innings on 10 had Dushmantha Chameera held tight to a return get in the 6th over. Shubman Gill was additionally reprieved in the powerplay when Charith Asalanka dropped him on 8 at cover-point. Gill then joined with Kohli to rebuff Sri Lanka with a 189-run organization on a blistering evening. Kohli got breaking with his brand name cover-drives while Gill frequently got out of his wrinkle to produce scoring amazing open doors. Then, at that point, when Sri Lanka's quick bowlers abbreviated their lengths to Gill, he set them aside with his grating short-arm pulls. Legspin-bowling allrounder Dushan Hemantha, who is basically a like-for-like swap for the harmed Wanindu Hasaranga, couldn't stem the progression of runs by the same token. At the point when Kohli and Gill matched each other went for shot and moved near three figures, India's fans were likely engaging contemplations of twofold hundreds from the two hitters. However, Madushanka got back to the assault and didn't actually allow the players to arrive at triple figures. The left-arm seamer then showed that he's nobody stunt horse. He bobbed Suryakumar Yadav out with an on-pace bouncer. Shreyas Iyer then hit max speed, yet he, as well, missed the mark regarding 100. He hooked on to whatever was somewhat full and sent it vanishing from his sight. At the point when Kasun Rajitha contributed one the space outside off, Iyer sent off it over lengthy on for a 106-meter six - the greatest in the competition up to this point. Iyer raised his 50 years off 36 balls and later arranged even Sri Lanka's best bowlers on the day - Madushanka and Chameera. Iyer took Madushanka for 18 off nine balls prior to holing out. Iyer's attack was fundamental to India piling up 93 off their last ten overs. Ravindra Jadeja likewise did his piece with the bat in those trudge overs, yet he was scarcely required with the ball on a night that had a place with India's quicks. India 357 for 8 (Gill 92, Kohli 88, Shreyas 82, Madushanka 5-80) beat Sri Lanka 55 (Shami 5-18, Siraj 3-16) by 302 runs
