Join us then. Cheers!

7:26 PM IST ... THE PRESENTATION ...

7:26 PM IST Earlier, Sri Lanka opted to field first, handing India the strike. India lost Gill early in the Powerplay, but Abhishek Sharma, with his trademark aggressive strokeplay, tore the attack apart, providing a perfect launchpad before departing for 61. SKY struggled again with the bat, but crucial middle-order contributions from Tilak Varma and Sanju Samson kept the innings on track. Despite a brief wobble, Tilak’s 49 and Axar’s late cameo of 21 propelled India past the 200-run mark - and it was the first time any team crossed this milestone in this Asia Cup. For Sri Lanka, wickets were shared across the board, with Nuwan Thushara standing out among them, but none of them could actually put a lid on the runs.
