Only two wickets for Lions in first 7 overs

India got off to a dominant start as opener Abhishek Sharma led the charge with a blistering innings against Sri Lanka.

The left-hander smashed 61 runs off just 31 balls, including 8 fours and 2 towering sixes, before being dismissed by Charith Asalanka.

However, fellow opener Shubman Gill couldn’t settle at the crease, falling for just 4 off 3 balls in the very first over, bowled by Maheesh Theekshana. Having increased the team’s total to 74 runs, the Indian team gained a strong confidence in the early 7 overs to post an unbeaten target in the second last game of the ACC tournament.
