Hemantha to Shreyas Iyer, SIX, straight down the ground for a sixer! Tossed up ball, Shreyas Iyer wallops it over long-off. Huge hit indeed from Shreyas. That's how he deals with spinners. Was a lobbed up delivery and Shreyas Iyer didn't hold back. India looking for a huge score

India 82/1 after 13 overs

India 68/1 after 11 overs
In the India vs Sri Lanka match of the 2023 World Cup, a dramatic turn of events unfolded. Dushmantha Chameera bowled two consecutive maidens, putting the Indian team in a challenging situation. However, Shubman Gill turned the tide, smashing Dilshan Madushanka for back-to-back boundaries in the following over.
Gill's fate took an interesting twist when Madushanka had an opportunity to dismiss him, but a fielder at point was unable to grasp a promising chance. As a result, Gill survived on 8 runs, creating a lucky escape for the Indian batsman.
Sri Lanka's subpar bowling performance is coming back to haunt them.

Done with the national anthems and it is now time for the action to get underway
The players are out for the national anthems. Sri Lanka's first and then followed by that of India. Sachin Tendulkar's statue was inagurated yesterday and the great man should be present for today's match
We are moments away from the start of this clash, but before that, the match officials and the players, along with their mascots, will line up for the national anthems. They are joined by the UNICEF and ICC Ambassadors, Sachin Tendulkar and Muthiah Muralidaran. It will be Sri Lanka's national anthem first followed by the national anthem of India.
Rohit Sharma: Would have batted first. Obviously some assistance to start with but under lights there will be good assistance for our pacers. Great honour, great moment to lead the team. It's important for us to no get carried away by the performances we put in. Same team as the last game.
Kusal Mendis: We are going to bowl first. I think the pitch will be better for batting in the second part. Everyone did their best in the last few games. Hopefully they will continue to do the same today. One change, DDS is not playing, Hemantha is playing.
"It is the same pitch as the ENG v SA match - 64m and 69m square boundaries, the straight boundary is at 76m. There is a bit of shine and it means that it'll not slow down as the game progresses. The challenge for the bowlers is to hit a length around 6.5-7.1 metres, a hard length which has proved difficult to get away. It's hot and the pitch is full of runs, so the captain winning the toss might opt to bat first," reckon Ricky Ponting and Michael Atherton, in their pitch report
India Squad: Rohit Sharma (c), Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer, KL Rahul (wk), Ravindra Jadeja, Shardul Thakur, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj, Kuldeep Yadav, Mohammed Shami, Ravichandran Ashwin, Ishan Kishan, Suryakumar Yadav, Hardik Pandya.
