India 16-0 (2 ovs) vs SL 230-8 | Scorecard

Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill are the openers for India, who will need to make most of the Powerplay.

Pacer Asitha Fernando opens the bowling for the hosts. Rohit defends the first ball before he runs down the track and heaves the next ball over midwicket for a six to get going in great style.

He misses the flick next ball to collect a leg bye and Gill mistimes the pull shot for a single to get off the mark.

Rohit gets a thick outside edge as the ball flies wide of the slip fielder for a four as 12 runs come from the first over.

Pacer Mohamed Shiraz from the other end. Gill keeps out the first four balls before he plays the full delivery to the left of the fielder at mid-off for a four and blocks the last ball.
