India Reviews
The bowling unit of India was not much impressive in the first match but they managed to defend the target of 163 runs and leaked 160 runs in 20 overs. Hardik Pandya, Shivam Mavi, Umran Malik, Yuzvendra Chahal, Harshal Patel, and Axar Patel were used as bowlers by India. Arshdeep Singh is also part of the squad for this series and he was not given a chance in the final playing eleven. It was also interesting to see that Hardik Pandya bowled out the first over for India but failed to provide an early breakthrough. Shivam Mavi proved the most successful and highest wicket-taker with four wickets to his name in four overs against 22 runs. Umran Malik was also good in the first match and he picked up two wickets in four overs while he was charged for 27 runs. Harshal Patel also picked two wickets but he leaked plenty of runs. He was charged with 41 runs in four overs. Axar Patel and Yuzvendra Chahal failed to pick any wicket.
Sri Lanka Reviews
The total of 163 runs was not much difficult to chase for Sri Lanka but their batting order was under the belts and failed to chase it. They scored 160 runs and their full team came back to the pavilion in 20 overs. Sri Lanka still needs to upgrade its batting squad for the remaining matches. The skipper, Dasun Shanaka was the highest run-scorer from their side with 45 runs to his name on 25 balls with the help of three boundaries and the same huge sixes. Kusal Mendis also had an outstanding performance with the bat and scored 28 runs. He faced 25 balls and smashed five boundaries during his inning. Chamika Karunaratne was the other batsman who put some runs on the board. He scored 23 runs and was the only batsman who remained not out till the 20th over. Wanindu Hasaranga performed well with the bat and scored 21 runs.
