After 20 overs,Sri Lanka 183/5 ( Dasun Shanaka (C) 47 , Chamika Karunaratne 0)
Chamika Karunaratne joins Shanaka at the crease, with Harshal Patel bowling the final over. Patel starts off with a wide, followed by four leg byes as the ball deflects towards third man off Shanaka’s shoe. The SL skipper dashes back for a second in the second delivery, before heaving an off-cutter over backward square leg to collect a boundary next ball. Patel successfully appeals for leg-before in the fourth, with Shanaka overturning the decision after the ball is showing to be missing leg. Shanaka then tonks Patel for back-to-back sixes to finish the innings on a high, remaining unbeaten on 47 as Sri Lanka set India 184 to win after being asked to bat.

OUT! Bhuvneshwar grabs his first wicket off his final delivery of the innings, trapping Nissanka leg-before with a yorker. Nissanka misses while attempting a reverse lap, and it’s an easy enough decision for the umpire. SL 160/5
