India have had a mixed run across formats since their semi-final exit from the T20 World Cup at the hands of eventual champions England, winning the T20I series in New Zealand 1-0 but losing the one-dayers by a similar margin.

Sri Lanka, on the other hand, have not had much cricketing action in recent months, playing a three-match ODI series against Afghanistan at home besides the Asia Cup and the T20 World Cup with the Dasun Shanaka-led side winning the former after beating Pakistan in the final. They would then lose yet another ODI series in Bangladesh after back-to-back defeats in Dhaka, but would end the year on a high with a 2-0 sweep of the Test series against the Tigers. Preview: Team India will hope to get off to a winning start in 2023 when they take on Sri Lanka in the first of three T20Is at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on Tuesday.

India vs Sri Lanka, 1st T20I: Arshdeep Singh isn’t a part of the first match of the series. Arshdeep rose to fame after having a few decent seasons for the Punjab Kings (PBKS) in the Indian Premier League (IPL). During the toss, Hardik Pandya, who is captaining India in his third bilateral T20I series, said that Arshdeep wasn’t available for the game.

India will field a new-look team under Hardik Pandya - much like they did in New Zealand - and plans could be afoot to identify players and try different ...

19.2 Axar to Karunaratne, no run, flatter and outside off, Karunaratne moves away and then allows it to pass. He thought it was a wide but it was clearly inside the marker. 19.4 Axar to Karunaratne, no run, this is turning into a cat and mouse contest. Ishan Kishan joins in and this must be about where to bowl because they can't do much about the field. 19.5 Axar to Karunaratne, out Rajitha Run Out!! I use the matchups really well and that's the reason we restricted India to 162. But Mavi, who had picked up the first two wickets, came back and broke the partnership and Umran followed it up with the big wicket of Shanaka a couple of overs later. I am coming on the back of domestic cricket and know how to target the spinners. If the same situation is there then yes, I have worked on my swing bowling and I have worked on that (inswinger), I am bowling in nets and I like bowling with the new ball. They lost a couple of wickets early and could not keep up with the asking rate, the impetus to the innings came when Shanaka walked out to the middle and started to send a few balls into the crowd, he was supported by Hasaranga and at that stage the visitors looked favorites. Hooda and Axar played a couple of cameos to get them to a par total and then the bowlers came to the party, led by debutant Shivam Mavi. Player of the Match: I try my best to practice according to the number I bat.

Hardik said he would have batted anyway because India wanted to challenge themselves in bilateral games.

It seemed all over with 29 required off the last two with two wickets in hand, but Harshal bowled an ordinary 19th over to let Sri Lanka back. When Hasaranga joined him with two successive slog-swept sixes off Yuzvendra Chahal in the 14th over, Sri Lanka were well and truly back with 56 needed off the last six. Kasun Rajitha and Madushanka closed out well but India managed 34 off the last three. Two curious events happened around the last ball of the 19th over. Hasaranga had one over at the death, and Hooda managed to pull one six off him too as he went flatter to get out of that over. Kishan got them off to a rollicking start, taking 26 off the first two overs, but then the masters went to work. Probably looking to get out of the spell, Theekshana dragged down an attempted wrong'un in the 16th over. Eventually Kishan, who had gone from 17 off 8 to 36 off 27, felt the need to slog-sweep everything. This seam-up delivery had come on slowly off the surface. Gill picked a carrom ball, but it landed on the leather to skid on with the angle to trap him lbw. Hooda and Axar then added 68 in 5.5 overs to take India to 162. On the same pitch, India found assistance for fast bowlers with Hardik Pandya joining debutant

At a stadium where the bowlers historically do not have much to boast about, the first T20I of 2023 between India and Sri Lanka was a game highlighted by the ...

Shanaka scored 45 from 27 deliveries and ensured his side remains in the hunt. The duo hit four boundaries and five maximums. But, jokes apart, he was very effective at the start and applied brakes on the Sri Lankan powerplay. He is willing to open the experiment lab for this purpose. The right-hander scored 23 runs from 16 balls. Popular gadgets including laptop, tablet and mobile specifications, features, prices, comparison. A target of 161, which would have been thought of as below par at the Wankhede Stadium was made to look like a mountain of runs by the Indian bowling attack. More importantly, he hit two sixes – one each in the 19th and 20th over – and brought his side closer to the target. He later confirmed at the presentation that he has been practicing in the nets with the new ball and that is why he tried to bowl upfront.

Not to forget Sri Lanka’s efforts as the bowlers hunted in pack and restricted India for such a total in first place.

Pacers Umran Malik and Harshal Patel also starred with two wickets each and ensured Sri Lanka did not build a long partnership.

Debutant Shubman Gill began with a boundary but soon fell lbw for seven to Maheesh Theekshana as the mystery spinner broke through in his first over. Earlier in the match, cameos by Deepak Hooda and Axar Patel steered India to 162-5 after Sri Lanka’s bowlers made an impression. India won by 2 runs against Sri Lanka to seal a thrilling encounter in the first Twenty20 International at Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai on Tuesday.
