The whole cricket is witnessing another exciting clash between India and Sri Lanka at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. After 2011’s iconic Final, both teams are locking horns. India is in a great form. They are winning all the matches and moving forward by conquering the tournament. They are the only unbeaten team in the tournament. Sri Lanka is not in that good position. They were struggling with many losses in previous matches. This is a crucial game for them.
The Fire Iyer:
India has been dominating Sri Lanka in this match since the start. After Rohit Sharma’s out, Shubman Gill and Virat Kohli held the innings. After Gill’s our Shreyas came and started playing attacking cricket. He is in an excellent flow. He was smashing sixes like no way. That is helping India to reach a good fighting total.
Shreyas Iyer hit the longest six in the match. In the 36th over, Kasun Rajitha was bowling against Shreyas Iyer. Rajitha bowled a seam on the length of the outside of the off stump. Shreyas clears the front leg and smashes it into a massive six. That was 106 m long. This was the biggest hit of the tournament.
A Sneak Peak to Wankhede:
This is an interesting clash. The 2011 finalists are facing each other at the same venue after years. Sri Lanka won the toss and opted to bowl first. While batting first, Rohit Sharma was dismissed on 4 runs. That was a setback but Shubman Gill and Virat Kohli held the innings. Gill was outstanding as well as unfortunate. He played an excellent knock of 92 runs in 92 balls. He missed the well-deserved century by 8 runs. He smashed 11 boundaries and 2 over-boundaries.
Virat was outstanding yet again. He scored 88 runs in 94 balls. He smashed 11 boundaries. KL Rahul came and played a quick-fire of 21 runs in 19 balls. SKY scored 12 runs in 9 balls. Shreyas Iyer is showing his class again. He is still batting on 59 runs in 45 balls. He smashed 2 boundaries and 4 over-boundaries. Jadeja is batting on 10 runs in 10 balls. In the 46th over, India is on 305/5.
