1st T20I: Suryakumar Leads The Charge As India Go 1-0 Up With A 43-run Win Over Sri Lanka (ld)
Pallekele International Cricket Stadium: In his first innings as India’s full-time T20I captain, Suryakumar Yadav smashed his 20th T20I half-century and kept his calm as a leader when the bowlers were put under pressure as the visitors went 1-0 up in the three-match series with a 43-run win over Sri Lanka at the Pallekele International Cricket Stadium on Saturday.
On a fresh pitch, Yashasvi Jaiswal tore into bowlers in power-play with a 21-ball 40, while sharing a 74-run opening stand with Shubman Gill. Suryakumar built on the stunning start by hitting 58 off 26 balls, laced with eight fours and two sixes at a strike-rate of 223.08.
Rishabh Pant struggled to get going initially but managed to accelerate at the end to make 49 off 33 balls, as India made a massive 213/7. For Sri Lanka, pacer Matheesha Pathirana got his yorkers and slower balls spot on to grab 4-40, with the hosts’ fielding being sloppy.
