India, under Pandya, clinched a 1-0 series win against New Zealand in its last T20I assignment and the new-look squad will hope to keep the momentum going. After scraping through to the Super 12, it lost to Australia, New Zealand and England and crashed out of the tournament.

19.2 Axar to Karunaratne, no run, flatter and outside off, Karunaratne moves away and then allows it to pass. He thought it was a wide but it was clearly inside the marker. 19.4 Axar to Karunaratne, no run, this is turning into a cat and mouse contest. Ishan Kishan joins in and this must be about where to bowl because they can't do much about the field. 19.5 Axar to Karunaratne, out Rajitha Run Out!! I use the matchups really well and that's the reason we restricted India to 162. But Mavi, who had picked up the first two wickets, came back and broke the partnership and Umran followed it up with the big wicket of Shanaka a couple of overs later. I am coming on the back of domestic cricket and know how to target the spinners. If the same situation is there then yes, I have worked on my swing bowling and I have worked on that (inswinger), I am bowling in nets and I like bowling with the new ball. They lost a couple of wickets early and could not keep up with the asking rate, the impetus to the innings came when Shanaka walked out to the middle and started to send a few balls into the crowd, he was supported by Hasaranga and at that stage the visitors looked favorites. Hooda and Axar played a couple of cameos to get them to a par total and then the bowlers came to the party, led by debutant Shivam Mavi.

Sri Lanka, on the other hand, have not had much cricketing action in recent months, playing a three-match ODI series against Afghanistan at home besides the Asia Cup and the T20 World Cup with the Dasun Shanaka-led side winning the former after beating Pakistan in the final. They would then lose yet another ODI series in Bangladesh after back-to-back defeats in Dhaka, but would end the year on a high with a 2-0 sweep of the Test series against the Tigers.

India vs Sri Lanka, 1st T20I: Arshdeep Singh isn’t a part of the first match of the series. Arshdeep rose to fame after having a few decent seasons for the Punjab Kings (PBKS) in the Indian Premier League (IPL).

But Karunaratne couldn't get the job done as Rajitha and Madushanaka were run out to see Sri Lanka get all out for 160 runs and India took a 1-0 lead. Mavi would pick up his fourth wicket in the form of Theekshana as Sri Lanka's hopes started to fade. Kishan got to 37 runs but he was dismissed by Hasaranga with the score at 77 for four. However, Sri Lanka bounced back quickly as Mahesh Theekshana dismissed Shubman Gill, with just 27 runs on the board. Shivam Mavi impressed on his debut as he picked up four wickets for just 22 runs in his four overs. Sri Lanka won the toss in the match and put India to bat first.
Hardik said he would have batted anyway because India wanted to challenge themselves in bilateral games.
It seemed all over with 29 required off the last two with two wickets in hand, but Harshal bowled an ordinary 19th over to let Sri Lanka back. When Hasaranga joined him with two successive slog-swept sixes off Yuzvendra Chahal in the 14th over, Sri Lanka were well and truly back with 56 needed off the last six. Kasun Rajitha and Madushanka closed out well but India managed 34 off the last three. Two curious events happened around the last ball of the 19th over. Hasaranga had one over at the death, and Hooda managed to pull one six off him too as he went flatter to get out of that over. Kishan got them off to a rollicking start, taking 26 off the first two overs, but then the masters went to work. Probably looking to get out of the spell, Theekshana dragged down an attempted wrong'un in the 16th over. Eventually Kishan, who had gone from 17 off 8 to 36 off 27, felt the need to slog-sweep everything. This seam-up delivery had come on slowly off the surface. Gill picked a carrom ball, but it landed on the leather to skid on with the angle to trap him lbw. Hooda and Axar then added 68 in 5.5 overs to take India to 162. On the same pitch, India found assistance for fast bowlers with Hardik Pandya joining debutant

Shanaka scored 45 from 27 deliveries and ensured his side remains in the hunt. The duo hit four boundaries and five maximums. But, jokes apart, he was very effective at the start and applied brakes on the Sri Lankan powerplay. He is willing to open the experiment lab for this purpose. The right-hander scored 23 runs from 16 balls. Popular gadgets including laptop, tablet and mobile specifications, features, prices, comparison. A target of 161, which would have been thought of as below par at the Wankhede Stadium was made to look like a mountain of runs by the Indian bowling attack. More importantly, he hit two sixes – one each in the 19th and 20th over – and brought his side closer to the target. He later confirmed at the presentation that he has been practicing in the nets with the new ball and that is why he tried to bowl upfront.

However, this is the identical approach that had cost KL Rahul a place in the T20 squad. The batting unit will like to score more runs in the second game and a lot will depend on the manner in which new vice-captain Suryakumar Yadav does what is known as "front-loading" (heavy-duty hitting in the first 10 overs) in cricketing jargon. While Gill has opened a lot for KKR and even was an integral part at the top of the order for Gujarat Titans, his game is primarily based on consolidation and then going for the kill.
