India v/s Sri Lanka, 1st ODI: Scorecard

HERE'S HOW IT HAPPENED:

'17:10

THAT"S IT

Mathews does it with FOUR. Sri Lanka win the Dharamsala ODI by 7 wickets. Their first win 13 ODI matches.​

'17:05

Just 4 runs needed now. 

Sri Lanka's win makes the series very interesting. Can India, without Kohli, come back to win the series? 

SL- 109/3 after 20 overs

'17:00

100 up for Sri Lanka in the 19th over. Going through the motions now. 

'16:53

FOUR 

Another easy six runs off the over. 

SL- 91/3 after 17 overs

'16:48

FOUR and FOUR

It is getting easy for Sri Lanka now. Mathews has waited to settle down and now he is playing his shots. The pressure is off.

SL- 85/3 after 16 overs

'16:42

DRINKS

Sri Lanka are cruising to a win. Mathews and Dickwella seem comfortable out in the middle. 

Just 37 runs required from 210 balls now. 

SL- 76/3 after 15 overs

'16:36

Sri Lanka are 71 for 3. 42 runs required from 36 overs now. 

'16:28

OUT 

Tharanga finally falls to Hardik Pandya. But has he done enough damage? 49 off 46 balls. 

SL- 65/3 after 12.3 overs

'16:16

FOUR and FOUR

Tharanga is looking to finish it early. Two boundaries again, this time off Bumrah. India are running out of runs here. 

SL- 42/2 after 10 overs 

'16:10

FOUR and FOUR

Upul Tharanga has played a quiet knowck so far but now he is letting loose some shots. Cuts the first one to left of backward point, flicks the second one in the air over the man at midwicket. 

SL- 31/2 after 9 overs 

'15:58

OUT

Thirimanne is gone. Kumar gets the wicket. This one comes back into Thirimanne who is caught on the crease. He chops it back onto his stumps. 

Another funny scene here. They check for the no-ball and can't find one clear angle. The bastman had to return back.

SL- 15/2 after 6.1 overs

'15:45

Bumrah gets India the first wicket. 

Gunathilaka is OUT. He was going for a massive heave and only manages a nick through to Dhoni. 

SL- 7/1 after 3.4 overs

'15:38

Good stuff from Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Jasprit Bumrah. Only three off the first two overs. But India need wickets. 

'15:30

It's not a big target for Sri Lanka- can India take some quick wickets to make a contest out of it? Let's see, the SL innings is about start. 

'14:45

India all out for 112, Dhoni is the last man to go. He was going for the big one and ended up slicing it straight to the sweeper on the cover boundary. Perera gets the wicket.

He scored 65. There were 5 extras so the other 10 bastmen added just 42 runs.  

IND- 112 after 38.2 overs

'14:43

Well done Chahal. The No.11 survives Pradeep's over. It's over to Dhoni now.

IND- 108/9 after 38 overs.

'14:38

SIX and FOUR

Dhoni gets going now. Huge hit over long-on. It takes India past 100. 

Then he takes a boundary off the last ball of the over. 

IND- 108/9 after 37 overs.

'14:34

50 for MS Dhoni!

​Drives a full-toss from Pradeep for four to bring up his landmark.

What a knock this has been from the legend! Will be spoken about for years to come.

Calmly picks up a single to keep strike.

IND - 98/9 after 36 overs.

'14:31

What a shot from Dhoni!

​Stands still, goes through the shot and the ball sails over the rope.

He needs to keep going! It's now or never.

'14:26

OUT!

Bumarh has a brain-fade and goes for a wild hoick out of nowhere.

The bat is nowhere close to the ball and the stumps get rattled.

Disappointing choice of shot from Bumrah. Dhoni looks exasperated at the other end.

IND - 87/9 after 34.3 overs.

'14:21

Another hilarious scene out on the field in Dharamsala.

Bumrah gets wrapped on the pad and the umpire raises his finger. But instead of Bumrah asking for the review, Dhoni takes matters into his own hands and asks for the review himself immediately.

It's all MSD at the moment for Team India!

IND 87/8 after 33 overs.

'14:16

Five dot balls and Dhoni once again picks up a single off the last ball.

Top stuff this from MSD!

'14:12

Left-arm spinner Sachith Pathirana joins the attack, Dhoni cuts him for four.

Strange that skipper Perera is holding back Mathews who has five overs left.

Dhoni successfully manages to pick a single off the last ball of the over to keep strike.

IND - 85/8 after 31 overs.

'14:09

Hilarious scene there!

Dananjaya bowls a waist-height full toss first up. Bumrah, with defence on his mind, blocks the ball.

Dhoni yells out from the other end: "Maar na!"

Bumrah survives the over as Lanka get in another maiden.

'14:05

Pradeep bowls a maiden over to Dhoni.

Bumrah will have to face the first ball next over. Will he make it through?

'14:01

Dhoni steps out to Akila Dananjaya and sends one to the mid-wicket rope.

Strange that Dananjaya, who bowls good leg-spin, is choosing to bowl off-spin to the right-handed Dhoni.

Good forward defence from Bumrah to end that over. Five runs came from it.

IND - 80/8 after 28 overs.

'13:55

Dhoni living life dangerously. Picks up another boundary through an inside edge.

Went for a wild hoick but couldn't find the middle of the bat.

He will need to go big and get as many runs as he can now. No point just sticking around.

With Jasprit Bumrah at the crease and Yuzvendra Chahal to follow, Dhoni's surely not going to have company at the other end for too long.

IND - 75/8 after 27 overs.

'13:48

OUT!

India pegged back once again as leg-spinner Akila Dananjaya gets Kuldeep stumped.

Soft dismissal this as Kuldeep offered a simple forward defence there.

Just as the Indians were looking to get a move-on, Lanka strike again.

What will Dhoni's strategy be now?

IND - 70/8 after 25.3 overs.

'13:43

There's a flurry of boundaries all of a sudden in Dharamsala!

​Perera pitches it short, Dhoni plays a trademark, ferocious square-cut for four.

The Lankan skipper then drifts on to Kuldeep's pads and gets clipped to the fence.

There's a definite swing in momentum.

IND - 69/7 after 25 overs.

'13:39

India avoid scoring their lowest ever ODI total!

Dhoni pulls one from Pradeep and picks up another boundary.

What a shot from Kuldeep to end the over!

Gets on the front foot and plays a delectable cover-drive for four.

India getting a kick-on here!

IND - 60/7 after 24 overs.

'13:34

Dhoni begins Perera's second over with another boundary.

Steps out again and swings his bat hard, the ball takes the outside edge and races to the fine-leg fence.

The former Indian captain has clearly decided to go after the Lankan skipper.

India's 50 comes up as the crowd gives out a modest cheer.

IND - 50/7 after 23 overs.

'13:29

Another boundary!

Kuldeep joins the act, flicks one beautifully through mid-wicket.

Looks like Dhoni will need to show more faith in the batting prowess of the young chinaman bowler.

And one more boundary to end the over!

Pradeep gets Kuldeep's outside edge, the ball races past gully for four.

India could do with more of this!

IND - 44/7 after 22 overs

'13:24

BOUNDARY!

Yes, you read that right. India have finally managed to send one to the fence.

Dhoni steps out again and thumps it through the covers for four.

Skipper Thisara Perera has come into the attack. Will MSD target him going forward?

IND - 35/7 after 21 overs.

'13:20

Interesting approach from Dhoni. He's refusing to take singles if he is on strike at the beginning of an over and if Kuldeep Yadav is on strike towards the end of an over.

He wants to keep as much strike, refusing to trust his partner.

Meanwhile, Sri Lanka take another unsuccessful DRS review.

Fourth consecutive maiden over for the Lankans as Dhoni tries to step out and hit one out of the park.

IND - 29/7 after 20 overs.

'13:14

India's lowest ever total in an ODI is 54. That too came against Sri Lanka in Sharjah in 2000.

Will they exceed that score today?

IND - 29/7 after 19 overs.

'13:03

OUT!

Bhuvneshwar walks back for a duck, Lakmal picks up his fourth wicket.

Yet another outside edge, yet another safe catch behind the wicket.

India in a sorry, sorry position at the moment.

IND - 29/7 after 16.4 overs.

'12:59

One can't help but look back at the Toss.

Perera won it and chose to field, while Rohit said he would've liked to bat anyway.

What was the Indian captain thinking?! The conditions at the moment are a bowler's paradise!

Meanwhile, India survive another scare as Bhuvneshwar Kumar is declared not-out after an LBW review.

A run and a wicket in that over.

IND - 28/6 after 16 overs.

'12:54

OUT!

Pandya edges it to Mathews at first slip, Pradeep picks up his second wicket.

The all-rounder was caught in two minds there. Tried to get his bat out of the way, but it was too late.

This is getting ridiculous now!

IND - 28/6 after 15.2 overs.

'12:51

Hardik Pandya and Dhoni are out in the middle at the moment.

It's all come crashing down in a hurry for Team India today.

India scoring their lowest ever total in an ODI is looking like a real possibility.

Meanwhile, Pandya gets his second boundary, and India's third of the day, with a glorious cover-drive.

IND - 27/5 after 15 overs.

'12:42

OUT!

Iyer gets an inside-edge and is clean-bowled by Pradeep!

​What is happening here?! There is pin-drop silence in the stadium at the moment.

Iyer walks back for 9 off 27. Not a memorable debut at all for the youngster.

Will India register their lowest ever ODI total?

​IND - 16/5 after 13.2 overs.

'12:39

Mahendra Singh Dhoni walks out as the crowd in Dharamsala goes bonkers!

Will the legend be able to bail India out once again?

'12:37

India's middle-order in ODIs has been a work in progress. Great opportunity for Iyer and Pandey to stake a claim.

OUT!

Just as we were talking, Pandey edges one to Mathews at first slip. Lakmal picks up another wicket.

Poor shot from Pandey, closed his bat way too early.

This is turning out to be a nightmare for Team India.

IND - 16/4 after 12.5 overs.

'12:32

Nuwan Pradeep joins Lakmal and Mathews in troubling the batters.

The ball is moving both ways in the air, staying low and climbing up from the wicket.

What score will India look at from this position in the match?

IND - 14/3 after 12 overs.

'12:22

Finally a few runs for India. A wide, a bye and a single.

Sri Lanka have absolutely dominated the first 10 overs here in Dharamsala.

IND - 11/3 after 10 overs

'12:16

 

OUT!

Lakmal strikes again! This time Karthik gets wrapped on the pads.

This is sensational bowling from the Lankan pacer. Beat the bat with a few out-swingers, then brought one back in sharply.

India are in deep, deep, trouble. Manish Pandey walks out to bat.

IND - 8/3 after 9 overs.

'12:10

Mathews complimenting Lamkal wonderfully.

Gives just a single from his fourth over, while also beating DK's bat a couple of times.

There's a lot happening off the wicket and in the air in Dharamsala. India will have to work hard to earn their runs.

IND - 7/2 after 8 overs.

'12:05

Lakmal bowls another over and guess how many runs he conceded? You're right, none!

Top bowling from the pacer here. Yet another maiden by him. He started off the Test series with a bang, he's doing the same in the ODI series.

'12:00

And he's off the mark!

Big moment for young Iyer as he gets his first international runs by sending the ball to the fence with a fine clip off his pads.

This will do his confidence a world of good. Needs to calm down now and focus on rotating. The Mumbaikar is a natural stroke-player so the boundaries will take care of themselves.

IND - 6/2 after 6 overs.

'11:56

Another maiden for Sri Lanka. Lakmal is spitting fire here!

India have a big job on their hands. Need to start rotating the strike soon.

IND - 2/2 after 5 overs.

'11:52

OUT!

Lanka get the big wicket as Lakmal removes Rohit.

A beautiful ball by the right-arm quick that gets a faint outside edge.

The umpire gave it not-out, but Lanka reviewed successfully once again.

India are in deep trouble here. Dinesh Karthik joins Iyer in the middle.

IND - 2/2 after 4.1 overs.

'11:49

Top over once again from Mathews!

Troubling Iyer, who's understandably nervous, with a probing line.

Another maiden for Lanka!

'11:46

Wonderful bowling from the experienced Mathews.

Bowled a couple of out-swingers from over the wicket, before bringing one back in to trap Dhawan.

Meanwhile, Lakmal gives two runs from his second over as debutant Shreyas Iyer joins his captain out in the middle.

IND - 2/1 after 3 overs.

'11:41

OUT!

India have lost their first wicket!

Angelo Mathews traps Shikhar Dhawan in front with a beautiful delivery that came in late.

This is a big blow to the hosts.

Lanka have started off with back to back maidens, and a wicket to go with it!

'11:34

Lakmal pitches the first ball in the corridor of uncertainty, Rohit plays with soft hands and the edge falls just short of gully.

Good start by Lakmal, getting good shape away from the batsman. But Rohit is looking solid in defence too.

A maiden to start with!

'11:29

Right, we're all set for the first ball in this first ODI between India and Sri Lanka in Dharamsala.

The national anthems of both teams have been played, the players are in readiness.

Skipper Rohit Sharma and Shikhar Dhawan will open for the hosts, Suranga Lakmal will bowl the first over for Lanka.

Here we go!
