The leg-spinner Yuzvendra Chahal and fast bowler and vice-captain Bhuvneshwar Kumar took three wickets each and helped India keep the scoring rate of the hosts in check. Both Avishka and Minod looked to be aggressive from the start after playing watchful first three overs as they didn't leave any bad balls and played them on merit. Sri Lanka were 59/0 after the first powerplay and India were desperately in need of a breakthrough as their early wickets woes came to haunt them again. He along with Chamika Karunaratne provided the late push to help Sri Lanka get to a total of 275/9. Deepak Chahar took a couple of wickets apart from three-wicket hauls by Chahal and Bhuvneshwar.
