Out! Ravindra Jadeja provides the finishing touch but it was Mohammed Shami who went through the middle and lower order of the Sri Lankan batting order scalping another five-wicket haul. Sri Lanka were no where in the chase and kept losing wickets.  Top bowling performance from India. So much that the batting performance was overshadow. The winning streak of India now extends to seven matches in the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 and they have now qualified for the semifinals.

Out! The last recognised batter of the Sri Lankan lineup falls. Very much Mohammed Shami dismissal. The ball seems to be pitched up for a drive only to hit the seam and jag back taking off the stumps. Nothing going well for Sri Lanka. 

02 Nov, 19:58 (IST)

Out! Mohammed Shami strikes again! Dushmantha Chameera tries to duck a bouncer aimed at body and in the way, the ball takes a nudge of the gloves to the wicketkeeper. KL Rahul insists for the review and UltraEdge shows a spike. Sri Lanka need a saviour desperately. 

02 Nov, 19:41 (IST)

Out! Sri Lanka is just crumbling down now. After a period of playing out the new ball attack as the Sri Lanka batters looked like they can get off the mark, they have lost Charith Asalanka and Dushan Hemantha in quick succession, thanks to Mohammed Shami. They are really looking down the barrel now. Angelo Matthews has to find a way to escape this stranglehold. 

02 Nov, 19:02 (IST)

Out! Mohammed Siraj seems to have ascended to next level now. First ball of his second over, against pitches in line and seams just enough to open up Kusal Mendis and knock-off his off-stump. This might get worse then the Asia Cup 2023 final for Sri Lanka as things are going. 

02 Nov, 18:53 (IST)

Out! It is currently unwatchable for the Sri Lankan fans out there. Sadeera Samarawickrama hangs his bat out to a out-seaming ball from Mohammed Siraj and edges straight into the hands of the slip fielder Rohit Sharma just brought in. Someone has to arrest this collapse from Sri Lanka. 

02 Nov, 18:49 (IST)

Out! Sri Lanka will now surely have flashbacks of Asia Cup 2023 final. Mohammed Siraj joins Jasprit Bumrah in the wicket takers column. Similar delivery, pitches in the line of the stumps and seams away a little while Dimuth Karunaratne commits the front leg across. Wastes another review and Sri Lanka are in big, big trouble. 

02 Nov, 18:46 (IST)

Out! Jaspirit Bumrah welcomes Pathum Nissanka on the pitch with a peach. The ball pitches in the line of the stumps, seams away a little and Nissanka gets caught in front. Sri Lanka lose one very early and are already in trouble. 

02 Nov, 18:07 (IST)

A good last over from Kasun Rajitha, yet India will feel comfortable as they have reached a mammoth total of 357 on the board. After the early blow of Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli and Shubman Gill stitched up a big partnership. Shreyas Iyer kept the momentum going and then Ravindra Jadeja finished strong taking India to a very good total. Dilshan Madushanka picked five wickets and was the pick of the Sri Lankan bowlers.  

02 Nov, 17:52 (IST)

Out! That's the fifth for Dilshan Madushanka! He gets a well-deserved five-wicket haul in the last over of his spell. Shreyas Iyer has been going hard and he bowls this one a little wide and made him reach for it. Shreyas skies it and the short cover takes the catch comfortably.

India and Sri Lanka are set to write a new chapter in their storied rivalry when they lock horns in the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023. India vs Sri Lanka, April 2, 2011--a match that Indian cricket fans would never forget as the Men in Blue had triumphed that night 12 years ago at this very venue to win the ICC World Cup 2011. The Wankhede Stadium today will host a repeat of that epic final match 12 years ago. This time though, the tide is heavily in favour of the Men in Blue. India have been in red-hot form, steamrolling past every opposition that they have faced so far. And they would look to do the same to Sri Lanka as well. Rohit Sharma and his team would look to become the first side to qualify for the semifinals in CWC 2023 with a win in this match. For the record, India are the only undefeated team in the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023. India vs Sri Lanka, ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 Free Live Streaming Online: How To Watch IND vs SL CWC Match Live Telecast on TV?.

The story cannot be said for Sri Lanka, who have had a poor campaign so far. The 2011 WC finalists have lost four matches out of six and are fighting hard to stay alive in the race to enter the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 semifinals. Two months ago, these two teams had squared off in the Asia Cup 2023 final in what was a completely one-sided encounter with India blowing Sri Lanka away for just 50 runs on the board. Will the Lankan Lions bounce back? Or will Team India's juggernaut carry on?

Squads:

India: Rohit Sharma(c), Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer, KL Rahul(w), Suryakumar Yadav, Ravindra Jadeja, Mohammed Shami, Jasprit Bumrah, Kuldeep Yadav, Mohammed Siraj, Ravichandran Ashwin, Shardul Thakur, Ishan Kishan
