Abhishek Sharma Sets the Tone
Opening the innings, Abhishek Sharma played with fearless intent. His 61 runs from just 31 deliveries included well-timed boundaries and aggressive stroke play that immediately shifted momentum in India’s favor. Despite Sri Lanka’s disciplined fielding, Sharma’s control and power ensured India built a strong base.
Tilak Varma and Sanju Samson Build Middle-Order Strength
After the brisk start, Tilak Varma and Sanju Samson stabilized the middle overs with calculated aggression. Their partnership of 66 off 42 deliveries allowed India to maintain a high scoring rate without taking unnecessary risks. Varma’s unbeaten 49 reflected maturity, while Samson’s fluent stroke play kept Sri Lanka’s bowlers on the back foot throughout.
Sri Lanka’s Bowling Efforts Fall Short
Although Sri Lanka’s bowlers managed to pick up wickets at regular intervals, no bowler could deliver sustained pressure. Five bowlers shared wickets, yet none managed to strike more than once. Maheesh Theekshana and Dushmantha Chameera impressed with excellent catches off their own bowling, while the ground fielding remained sharp. However, every bowler conceded runs at a steady pace, and none managed to keep the economy below six per over.
Tilak Varma finishes strong with an unbeaten 49* against Sri Lanka! Just one short of a well-deserved fifty. 💪🔥

With Abhishek, Varma, and Samson leading the charge, India’s innings looked in control from the very first over until the close.
