India won a thriller as Sri Lanka which took the match to the last over with 13 needed off it, managed to get only 10 and lost the game by two runs to trail 0-1 in the three-match series. For India, debutant Shivam Mavi shone with his 4/22 spell and got a wicket every time it was needed. For the Lankan team, skipper Dasun Shanaka kept them in the game with his 45 off just 27 balls.

Earlier in the evening, after being asked to bat first, India lost wickets at regular intervals and were down to 94-5 in the 15th over before Deepak Hooda and Axar Patel added an unbeaten 68 off just 35 balls for the sixth wicket to get the men in blue to a respectable total. 

 

10:42 PM

India vs Sri Lanka 1st T20I Live Score Updates: India win by two runs

 

Waited for the wide ball, but it was definitely inside the line and therefore not called wide 

 

Running for the double and it was always going to the run-out chance and Kasun Rajitha has been run out here 

 

Four needed off 1 ball and it cannot be super over now because taking three runs in Wankhede is really difficult 

 

So in the end, it would be just a single and India win by two runs. But what a brilliant innings by Karunaratne 

 

10:38 PM

India vs Sri Lanka 1st T20I Live Score Updates: 5 needed off 3 balls

 

Wide off the first ball

 

And Rajitha takes a single and gives the strike to Karunaratne, the man who matters

 

That could have been wide, but was not given

 

Six!! No matter says Karunaratne as he picks the short ball and pulls it for a six 

 

10:34 PM

India vs Sri Lanka 1st T20I Live Score Updates: Drama in the 19th, 13 needed off 6

 

Six!! After the misfield on the last ball which cost India three runs, Chamiuka Karunaratne has hit a six over deep square leg and the match is suddenly alive once again

 

On the last ball Rajitha just needs to swing it for the heavens as even if he gets out, it won’t matter. But guess what happens, he takes a single and now it is 13 needed off 6 balls and seems like Hardik himself would bowl the over. No, it is Axar Patel  

 

10:29 PM

India vs Sri Lanka 1st T20I Live Score Updates: No-ball called, Free hit to Chamika

 

A no-ball has been called by the leg umpire even as there is a check for the run-out is definitely a not out. Now, Karunaratne would have a fee hit and Sri Lanka would want him to dispatch it for a six and keep the match alive

 

10:25 PM

India vs Sri Lanka 1st T20I Live Score Updates: Mavi picks his fourth

 

Shivam Mavi is indeed having a dream debut as he has now picked his fourth wicket as Maheesh Theekshana walks back. Sri Lanka are now eight down and Mavi has a great opportunity to get a five-for

 

10:19 PM

India vs Sri Lanka 1st T20I Live Score Updates: Shanaka departs, a lucky break for Umran and India

 

After a huge delay due to the DRS on a catch-out call, Shanka got an easy delivery to dismiss and yet he hit that straight to covers where Chahal took a good catch to get rid of the Lankan captain. 

 

10:17 PM

India vs Sri Lanka 1st T20I Live Score Updates: Shanaka sinks one into the stands

 

Dasun Shanka has hit one directly into the stand. It was a quick delivery from Umran and all it needed was timing and it was provided well enough by the Sri Lankan captain. Now, the runs needed have gone down to 34 off 22 balls. 

 

On the last ball, Shanaka cut it hard but it was well fielded by Hooda at the backward point 

 

10:13 PM

India vs Sri Lanka 1st T20I Live Score Updates: Shanaka keeps Lanka going

 

Dasun Shanka is playing the innings that are expected of him as he has hit 13 off this Harshal Patel over which included a six and a four. Sri Lanka now need 40 off the last four and if he stays, those runs might not be too difficult to make 

 

10:05 PM

India vs Sri Lanka 1st T20I Live Score Updates: Not with a direct hit, but Mavi gets Hasaranga eventually

 

Shivam Mavi eventually has his man Hasaranag as he bowls a slower one and Hasaranga, in an effort to get it over mid-off with an inside-out shot, lacked the elevation as the ball went straight into the hands of mid-off and Sri Lanka are six down. 

 

10:02 PM

India vs Sri Lanka 1st T20I Live Score Updates: A direct hit would have seen Hasaranga walking back

 

Shivam Mavi bowled a short of a length ball and Shanka played it towards the short leg. It should have been a sure single, but the Sri Lankan skipper declined and Hasaranga, who was at the non-striker’s end, almost hugged Mavi in his follow-through, he ran back and had Mavi hit the stumps directly, Sri Lanka would have been six down. But not to be as Hasarnga survives.  

 

9:59 PM

9:56 PM

India vs Sri Lanka 1st T20I Live Score Updates: Two fours from Umran Malik over

9:53 PM

India vs Sri Lanka 1st T20I Live Score Updates: The last batting pair for Sri Lanka

 

The pair of Dasun Shanaka and Wanindu Hasarnag is the last recognised pair which could take Sri Lanka to victory. They are also the captain and vice-captain respectively and therefore even have a greater responsibility to get going and make a match out of it. 

 

9:48 PM

India vs Sri Lanka 1st T20I Live Score Updates: Surya wears the captain’s hat

Bhanuka Rajapaksa, probably the only man capable of chasing this total down, has departed as he tried to clear the in-field but holed out to Hardik Pandya just beyond the 30-yard circle at mid-off. Hardik seems to have cramped up while taking the catch 

 

9:33 PM

India vs Sri Lanka 1st T20I Live Score Updates: Kusal Mendis gets out on a good shot

 

On the ball prior to the one on which he lost his wicket, Kusal Menids dismissed Harshal Patel for a four down the ground. Even on the wicket delivery, he packed a solid punch and drove it with power but the ball went straight to Sanju Samson who was standing at deep extra cover. 

 

9:29 PM

India vs Sri Lanka 1st T20I Live Score Updates: Ishan Kishan takes a stunner to dismiss Asalanka

9:23 PM

India vs Sri Lanka 1st T20I Live Score Updates: Chahal into the attack

 

Yuzvendra Chahal has come into the attack as the powerplay overs are done with 

 

Six!! Asalanka feels that Chahal should be treated with some ball hitting as he dances down the ground and hits him for a six off the very second ball

 

9:17 PM

India vs Sri Lanka 1st T20I Live Score Updates: Umran Malik into the attack

 

After a great start from Shivam Mavi, Umran Malik has been introduced into the attack and Hardik and the team would be expecting nothing less than a devastating pace from his side 

 

9:11 PM

India vs Sri Lanka 1st T20I Live Score Updates: The second wicket falls, Mavi gets another one

9:02 PM

India vs Sri Lanka 1st T20I Live Score Updates: Great start from Mavi

 

Wicket!! This is one of the great deliveries that Shivam Mavi has bowled. Not because the ball hit the stumps, but rather because he bowled the first two balls to get the batter driving. The other batter at the non-striker’s end thought it was easy to drive and just then, Mavi dolls out a perfect in-swinger that rattles the defences of Nissanka and he is gone for all money.

8:22 PM

India vs Sri Lanka 1st T20I Live Score Updates: Hooda goes bang bang

 

Deepak Hooda has given the crowd at Wankhede something to cheer about as he has dismissed Maheesh Theekshana for back-to-back sixes over long-leg as both the balls were pitched a tad bit short and the Lucknow Super Giants batter didn’t bat an eyelid while hitting the big shots that reached the crowd.
