SL 46-1 (13 ovs) vs India | Scorecard

Axar getting a lot of extra bounce. Mendis does well to avoid it as the ball kicks off alarmingly from length before the Sri Lankan taps the next ball for a single.

Axar gets the fourth ball to turn away sharply to beat Nissanka, who was looking to drive before he again plays and misses next ball attempting to cut. He slaps the last ball for a single to retain strike.

Dube continues as Nissanka picks a single from the first ball and Mendis glances the third ball fine on the leg side for a four.

Some movement from Dube as he beats Mendis on the outside edge before he picks one off the last ball.

In the next over, Mendis sweeps Axar for one before Nissanka gets the edge trying to cut but the ball flies over Rohit at slip.

Just a single from the over as Axar keeps things tight, giving away seven runs from his first three overs.
