Shivam Mavi impresses on debut as India defend 162
India won in a low-scoring spine chiller because of late runs from Deepak Hooda and Axar Patel, and uncommon crease bowling from an assault missing Jasprit Bumrah, Arshdeep Singh and Mohammed Shami. The Wankhede pitch was everything except the batting heaven it typically is in T20 cricket: there was hold for spinners, which Sri Lanka utilized well, before the new ball seamed around for India's quicks.
Ishan Kishan got India looking fast so far before the spinners pulled them back. Hooda and Axar then added 68 in 5.5 overs to take India to 162. On similar pitch, India found help for quick bowlers with Hardik Pandya joining debutant Shivam Mavi, Umran Malik and Harshal Patel in causing harm.
Sri Lanka had a short recuperation from 68 for 5 through commander Dasun Shanaka's 45 off 27, however Axar figured out how to safeguard 12 in a last-over bet.
Theekshana, Hasaranga slow India down
With every one of the three of KL Rahul, Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma missing, India played just a single anchor hitter in debutant Shubman Gill. Kishan got them looking romping so far, taking 26 off the initial two overs, however at that point the bosses went to work. Theekshana scarcely bowled anything to pull or drive with his unobtrusive varieties causing more peril. Gill picked a carrom ball, however it arrived on the cowhide to slip on with the point to trap him lbw.
Requiring a major 6th over to rescue the powerplay, Suryakumar Yadav, at last getting to bat at No. 3, prompt finished the primary slope he endeavored. This crease up conveyance had come on leisurely off the surface.
Taking a gander at the grasp accessible, Shanaka cunningly sneaked in an over of Dhananjaya de Silva prior to presenting Hasaranga. In that finished, de Silva had Sanju Samson confounding two trudges, the second had him gotten at diminutive third man.
Then Hasaranga turned his web during the organization among Kishan and Pandya. At last Kishan, who had gone from 17 off 8 to 36 off 27, wanted to trudge clear everything. At the point when that is going on, Hasaranga ensures he gets wickets. A wrong'un had Kishan gotten at profound midwicket.
While the returning Dilshan Madushanka had Pandya squeezed for room and scratching off, India had lost a portion of their side for under 100.
It began with the primary free ball from Theekshana. Most likely hoping to escape the spell, Theekshana hauled down an endeavored wrong'un in the sixteenth over. Hooda kicked off that pulled six. Also, you don't claim to know everything, Theekshana then answered with driving length interestingly, and Hooda got it over midwicket for another six. Hasaranga had one over at the passing, and Hooda figured out how to pull one six off him too as he went compliment to escape that over.
Kasun Rajitha and Madushanka finished off well yet India oversaw 34 off the last three. Hooda finished with 41 off 23, Axar 31 off 20.
Blazing beginning from India
Pandya amazed the first and tracked down development off the surface. It then, at that point, seemed OK to have Mavi share the new ball since Malik and Harshal don't frequently stand the crease up. With his fifth ball in worldwide cricket, Mavi had Pathum Nissanka bowled with crease development back in. Pandya followed it up with a tight finished, and Mavi answered with de Silva's wicket, got at mid-on.
Pandya bowled through the powerplay, and Malik kept the strain up with high speed and exact radar. Charith Asalanka top-edged a force, which Kishan ran back to take with a staggering plunge. Harshal was fortunate that Kusal Mendis coordinated a cut so well it conveyed directly to profound cover. His subsequent wicket was legitimate trickiness, however, with Bhanuka Rajapaksa deceived right on time into a shot.
Shanaka undermines India
In the midst of all that, it seemed Shanaka was playing on an alternate surface. All that he hit came pleasantly off the bat. At the point when Hasaranga got him together with two progressive trudge cleared sixes off Yuzvendra Chahal in the fourteenth over, Sri Lanka were well and genuinely back with 56 required off the last six.
This is the point at which India's bowling profundity proved to be useful. They might have chosen now to bowl no twist by any means with 47 off four overs of twist till then, at that point. Mavi returned to have Hasaranga gotten at mid-off, and Malik got back to have Shanaka captured at additional cover.
