Match Tied | India vs Sri Lanka Highlights of 1st ODI 2024: Series Opener Ends in Thrilling Tie After Charith Asalanka and Co Showcase Impressive Bowling Effort

That match had everything in it and the momentum kept swinging like a pendulum. India were off to a great start with Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill scoring runs at a very good pace. But Sri Lanka did not give up and kept hanging in there. The bowlers took wickets at regular intervals and did not let India run away with the contest. Charith Asalanka took a big review when the ball had raced to the boundary after it struck Shivam Dube on his pads. The DRS showed three reds and later, Arshdeep Singh was trapped right in front and this time too, the DRS did not have any hesitation in showing that it was plumb. It was India's game to lose from the position they were in but Sri Lanka did extremely well. Apart from Rohit Sharma's 58, no Indian batter could get past the fifty-run mark. India batted well in patches but Sri Lanka will take a lot of inspiration from this morale-boosting performance. Wanindu Hasaranga and Charith Asalanka took three wickets each while Dunith Wellalage, after his 67*, ended up with two wickets. 

What drama! Sri Lanka have tied the match and what a bowling performance it has been! Charith Asalanka dismisses Arshdeep Singh, who was struck in front as he went for a wild slog. The match ends in a tie! The Sri Lankan players are ecstatic and the Indian dressing room is in disbelief! 

OUT! Just when one thought India have won it, it is Charith Asalanka who dismisses Shivam Dube! A DRS showed three reds and India are dented big time! A rollercoaster of emotions and the crowd is cheering hard for the hosts! Will we see a tie?

Shivam Dube is the key here for India, with India needing just five runs in three overs. Sri Lanka applied a lot of pressure by regularly taking wickets but Shivam Dube has ensured that India's winning run on this tour continues. 

OUT! India lose an eighth wicket and it is once again Wanindu Hasaranga, who has bowled a sensational delivery to castle Kuldeep Yadav. This match is getting tense every over and we are in for an exciting finish. Kuldeep Yadav b Wanindu Hasaranga 2(10)

OUT! Charith Asalanka has struck for Sri Lanka and removed the set Axar Patel, who gets a slight edge with Kusal Mendis taking a good catch. India are under pressure here with three wickets in hand and still 34 runs needed to win. Axar Patel c Kusal Mendis b Charith Asalanka 33(57)

OUT! Oh no! Just when it seemed that India were regaining control of this chase. KL Rahul has played a poor shot and has perished. The right-hander attempted to sweep a Wanindu Hasaranga delivery but ended up top-edging it and Dunith Wellalage takes a simple catch. KL Rahul c Dunith Wellalage b Wanindu Hasaranga 31(43) 

KL Rahul and Axar Patel are out in the middle and they are looking at steadying the ship for India here. Quick wickets by Sri Lanka after a positive start by India has somewhat tilted the momentum in favour of the hosts. But India need 82 runs to win off 120 balls and it should be achieved. 

OUT! Sri Lanka now have put India under pressure with Asitha Fernando dismissing Shreyas Iyer with a peace of a delivery. Earlier, Wanindu Hasaranga got Virat Kohli and now, the visitors seem to be under the pump here. It is a massive phase in this match. Virat Kohli lbw b Wanindu Hasaranga 24(32) and Shreyas Iyer b Asitha Fernando 23(23)

OUT! India have lost a third wicket in this match with Akila Dananjaya trapping Washington Sundar LBW. He did go for a review but it was eventually 'umpires call' which prevailed. India's ploy to have Sundar at number four did not work. Washington Sundar lbw b Akila Dananjaya 5(4)
