India vs Sri Lanka HIGHLIGHTS, 1st T20I: IND beats SL by 2 runs at Wankhede; Mavi gets four wickets on debut

It was just cramps (injury in 2nd innings). Now I have a tendency to scare people. I did not sleep well, did not drink enough water and hence the glutes were stiff. I want to put this team in difficult situations because it will help us in big games. Bilaterals we are very good at and this is how we are going to challenge ourselves. To be honest, all the young guns got us out of the situation today.

I try my best to practice according to the number I bat. We were discussing it is a matter of 2-3 hits and that we will get with some momentum. I want to contribute in every manner. I am coming on the back of domestic cricket and know how to target the spinners.

Really disappointed with the way we finished, it was a game we should have won. At Wankhede, the batters need to cross the line easily when you are chasing 163. We used the match-ups well to restrict India. This bunch of youngsters is a very good bunch of players, they will come back strongly.

“I was waiting for this moment for the last six years. Had injuries in between and it felt my dream will never come true. Nerves were 3-4 on a scale of ten because you know what to expect when you have played the IPL. The first wicket was my favourite.”

Best bowling figures for India on men’s T20I debut:

4/10 - Barinder Sran v ZIM, 2016
4/21 - Pragyan Ojha v BAN, 2009
4/22 - SHIVAM MAVI v SL, today*
3/9 - Bhuvneshwar Kumar v PAK, 2012
3/17 - Axar Patel v ZIM, 2015

India pulls through at Wankhede, barely! On a half-paced wicket in the traditionally quick Mumbai wicket, India faltered with the bat in the first 15 overs before Deepak Hooda and Axar Patel pushed the total past 150 with their late surge. An impressive start from India’s bowlers led by skipper Hardik Pandya, Shivam Mavi and Umran Malik meant the home side had put Sri Lanka under pressure with constant wickets. However, Hardik’s counterpart, Shanaka put up an excellent riposte to keep his team in the chase. While Shanaka fell short of his half-century, Karunaratne nearly pulled off a win for Sri Lanka but Axar Patel managed to hold his nerve in the final over.

Axar Patel to bowl last over. He starts with a wide! Rajitha flicks the next ball for a single. 11 needed off 5. Axar keeps it out of Karunaratne’s arc and maintains the ball within the permissible range as well. Karunaratne expects a wide but is denied one. Short ball from Axar and Karunaratne clobbers it over wide long-on for SIX! Another ball within the tram line and another ball let go by Karunaratne! 5 needed off 2. Axar to Karunaratne, OUT! Run out at the non-striker’s end as Karunaratne flicks the ball to deep mid-wicket and attempts to reel in two runs. Hooda sends in a good throw from the deep and Axar does the rest. Sri Lanka needs four runs from one ball to win.

19.6 - Axar to Karunaratne: Axar comes over the wicket. Karunaratne slogs but only manages a single as he miscues the hit to deep mid-wicket. India beats Sri Lanka by 2 runs. What a match to start India’s home season!

Kasun Rajitha run out (Hooda/AR Patel) 5 (4b); Dilshan Madushanka run out (Hooda/AR Patel) 0 (0b)

Harshal concedes a no-ball for height against Karunaratne. Rajitha finds himself on strike and Harshal gives away a wide. Harshal strays to the pads and Rajitha flicks it through short-fine leg. Misfield from Chahal and the ball trickles to the fence. Mavi cuts the ball out from the boundary and saves a single. Length ball and Karunaratne smokes it over deep mid-wicket for SIX! Karunaratne advances and slaps the ball to long-off for one run. 14 needed off 7. Rajitha only gets a single off the last ball as he drives it down the ground. Sri Lanka needs 13 off 6 but Rajitha will keep strike for the last over.

Shivam Mavi is up for his last over. Karunaratne drives the first ball to long-off for one run. Slower-ball from Mavi and Theekshana slaps it straight to the cover fielder. Shivam Mavi to Maheesh Theekshana, OUT! Length ball and Theekshana lifts it to the long-off fielder. Mavi bowls out with figures of 4-0-22-4 - only the third Indian bowler to pick four wickets in men’s T20I debut.

Maheesh Theekshana c Yadav b Shivam Mavi 1 (4b)

Umran to bowl out. Room on offer and Shanaka slashes it straight to the point fielder. Length from Umran and Shanaka nonchalantly flicks it over square-leg for SIX. What a shot. Umran sends in one into the blockhole. And there is some discussion after Kishan’s clean take. India reviews for a catch but the visuals suggest that the ball is deflecting to the ground after hitting the bat. Umran to Shanaka, OUT! Undone by sheer pace. Full and straight at 155kph. Shanaka attempts to carve it over cover but fails to overpower Umran this time. Fine catch from Chahal as well. Will that do for India? Maheesh Theekshana walks in at 9.

Dasun Shanaka c Chahal b Umran Malik 45 (27b 3x4 3x6)

Harshal returns. Harshal sends in a short ball and Shanaka swat it over deep mid-wicket for SIX. A couple of singles to follow. Short ball and Shanak slaps it across the line for FOUR.

Mavi sends in a quick bumper to Shanaka. The ball lobs over to the on-side as Hasaranga sets off on a single and briefly crosses lines with Mavi. Mavi collects the ball and attempts a hit at the non-striker’s as Hasaranga puts in a desperate dive and hurts himself in the process. A single to follow. Mavi to Hasaranga, OUT! Holes out straight to mid-off. Mavi moves the ball outside Hasaranga’s reach and he still has a swing at it. Simple catch for Hardik and SL are six down now. Chamika Karunatne in at 7. A wicket and just three runs from Mavi’s third over.

Wanindu Hasaranga de Silva c Pandya b Shivam Mavi 21 (10b 1x4 2x6)

Chahal is back. A couple of singles to start the over. Shanaka steps out and flicks the ball through the on-side and attempts to find two but settles for another single. Loopy delivery lands on the full and Hasaranga unleashes the slog-sweep for SIX. Another SIX. Similar trajectory from Chahal and a similar result. Hasaranga flat-bats the ball through wide long-on for a maximum. Hasaranga completes the over with two runs and seems like Mavi has hurt his finger in the process of collecting the ball.

Umran returns. Hasaranga guides the ball down to third for one run. Shanaka uses the pace of Umran and guides the ball down to third-man. Samson rallies around the ball but lands his knee hard on the ground and trips over. The ball trickles away for FOUR. Umran follows up with a searing delivery past Shanaka’s outside-edge. Short ball and Shanaka pulls it to deep mid-wicket for one run. Width on offer and Hasaranga guides the ball over backward point for FOUR.

Harshal slips in the slower-ball from around the wicket and Rajapaksa attempts to run it past Ishan Kishan down leg. Rajapaksa chips another slower ball through mid-wicket and sneaks in two runs. Harshal to Rajapaksa, OUT! In the air and Hardik holds onto a simple catch running backwards from mid-off. He is limping after completing the catch and falls down with cramps. He clutches his right calf and he walks off the field with the physios.

Axar Patel into the attack. Axar cramps Shanaka with the angle. He slides the ball into Shanaka and forces him to find singles across the line. Shanaka gets a thick outside-edge off the last ball for FOUR.

Harshal Patel into the attack. In the slot and Mendis pumps it down the ground for FOUR. Harshal to Mendis, OUT! Straight to Samson at deep point.

Harshal comes around the wicket and Rajapaksa gets a thick outside-edge past the keeper for FOUR.

Kusal Mendis c Samson b HV Patel 28 (25b 5x4)

Umran continues to attack the stumps. Mendis and Asalanka nudge through the gaps for single. IN THE AIR and short of Harshal at third-man. Umran sends in a quick bumper and Mendis nearly lands his upper-cut in Harshal’s throat. Umran to Asalanka, OUT! Ishan Kishan pouches a spectacular catch.

Umran constricts Asalanka with a couple of incoming deliveries from around the wicket. Four successive dots. Fine start for Umran.

Hardik continues to surprise the batters with his movement and extra pace. A hint of room on offer and Mendis guides the ball to deep backward point for one run. Hardik shapes the ball away from the left-handed Asalanka who is content by leaving the deliveries on length. Fraction short from Hardik and Asalanka pulls the ball through deep mid-wicket for FOUR.

Mavi goes full and straight. de Silva flicks the ball to the square-leg fielder. Mavi pushes another ball through the gates and hits de Silva high on the back-pad. Mavi strays to the pads and de Silva flicks it down leg for FOUR. In the slot and de Silva elegantly lofts the ball over mid-off for FOUR. Mavi to de Silva, OUT! In the air and straight to Samson at mid-on. Undone by the extra pace here is de Silva. He hits the deck hard and gets the extra bounce to put off de Silva’s flick towards mid-on. Samson is watchful this time and pouches an easy chance. Charith Asalanka in at 4.

Dhananjaya de Silva c Samson b Shivam Mavi 8 (6b 2x4)

Fraction short from Hardik and Mendis slices the ball to the point fielder. Mendis shuffles across the line and Hardik slides the ball in past the gloves to the keeper down leg. Beauty from Hardik. Hardik swings the ball in sharply to beat the outside-edge. Quicker from Hardik and he attacks the stumps. Neat defence from Mendis to keep out the nagging delivery. A touch too full from Hardik and Mendis lifts the ball over mid-wicket for FOUR.

Debutant Shivam Mavi from the opposite end. Mavi starts with a length ball past Mendis’ outside-edge. Straighter line from Mavi and Mendis shuffles across nimbly and lofts the ball over mid-on for FOUR. Mavi overpitches and Mendis punches the ball through cover for another FOUR. Change of pace from Mavi and Mendis gets an outside-edge past first slip for a single. Mavi to Nissanka, OUT! Cleans him up.

Pathum Nissanka b Shivam Mavi 1 (3b)

Interesting to see Hardik Pandya taking the new ball. A hint of swing away from the pitch for Hardik as he shapes it towards the off-stump from length. Mendis offers a solid block. Hardik follows up with a sharp inswinger that slides down leg for a wide. In the air and dropped! Sanju Samson pops a catch second ball. A cracking delivery from Hardik finds the leading-edge from Mendis that flies over the bowler. Samson runs in from wide mid-off and puts in a dive and the ball pops out of his grasp as his elbow hits the ground. Hardik squares up Mendis with another length ball that shapes away genty past the outside-edge.

Hardik leads the talk in the Indian huddle. Kusal Mendis and Pathum Nissanka walk out for Sri Lanka in the chase.

Rajitha to bowl the last over. A fine yorker to start off. Hooda slices it through cover for one run. Axar drives the next ball to long-on for a single. Slower-ball on length and Hooda smokes it over the sightscreen for SIX! Swing and a miss. Rajitha offers a half-volley outside the off-stump but Hooda plays down the wrong line. Room on offer and Hooda slices the ball over short-third for FOUR. Rajitha finishes with a yorker from around the wicket and India makes 162.

Madushanka slides the ball in quickly to it Hooda on the back-pad. He finds a leg bye but SrI Lank opts for an lbw review. Wickets missing and Hooda survives.

Hasaranga up for his last over. Axar and Hooda exchange strike with singles. Short ball and Hooda rocks back to slog-sweep for SIX over deep mid-wicket.

Theekshana to bowl out. Too short from Theekshana and Hooda pummels it over deep mid-wicket for SIX. SIX more! Hooda swings across the line once again as Theekshana wafts one into the slot.

Madushanka to Hardik, OUT! A fine ball to find the edge. Madushanka cramps up Hardik with a quick bumper and Hardik’s attempted cut lands in the keeper’s gloves. That’s a huge wicket for Sri Lanka. Axar Patel in at 7. Outside-edge for Axar off a fuller ball and the ball races away past the keeper for FOUR. Tighter lines and Madushanka slides the ball past the outside-edge. High bouncer and the umpire signals a wide. 100 up for India.

Dhananjaya de Silva into the attack. Kishan chips the ball to long-on for one run. IS THAT OUT? Samson slog-sweeps Dhananjaya to deep mid-wicket. No timing there and Asalanka leaps forward to claim a catch at deep mid-wicket. A review for the third-umpire and the replays suggest that Asalanka has grassed the ball. Huge reprieve for Samson.

Which TV channel will telecast IND vs SL 1st T20I live?

The first T20I between India and Sri Lanka will be aired LIVE on the Star Sports Network.

Where can I watch the live stream of IND vs SL 1st T20I?

The first T20I between India and Sri Lanka will be streamed LIVE on Disney+Hotstar.

It’s the start of the 2023 home season for India and we cannot ask for a better venue than the iconic Wankhede Stadium to play host. Less than an hour for the toss and the stands are slowly filling up.

Shivam Mavi has been at the top of his mark for Uttar Pradesh in the 2022-23 domestic season across formats. Mavi was also the most expensive uncapped player signing at the IPL 2023 auction. Here’s more on the 2018 U19 World Cup star:

• IND (highest score) vs SL: 260/5 (20) - India won by 88 runs (Indore; December 2017)
• IND (lowest score) vs SL: 81/8 (20) - Sri Lanka won by seven wickets (Colombo; July 2021)
• SL (highest score) vs IND: 215/5 (20) - Sri Lanka won by 29 runs (Nagpur; December 2009)
• SL (lowest score) vs IND: 82 (18.0) - India won by nine wickets (Visakhapatnam; February 2016)

• Matches played: 26

• India won: 17

• Sri Lanka won: 8

• No result: 1

• Last result: Sri Lanka won by six wickets (Dubai; September 2022)

• Last five results: IND won - 3; SL won - 2

ICYMI: Jasprit Bumrah will mark his return next week after the seamer was added to India’s ODI squad earlier on Tuesday.

Hardik Pandya and Suryakumar Yadav were among the few bright spots for India’s men’s cricket team in a largely forgettable 2022.

The duo will start the New Year at the helm of affairs of the T20I team as India looks to continue its enviable record in bilateral series.

Hardik, the captain, with Surya as his deputy will shepherd a young Indian squad against neighbours Sri Lanka in a three-match T20I series, starting at the Wankhede Stadium on Tuesday. In a year when the focus will primarily be on ODIs, with T20Is taking a backseat, the only aspect that will spice up the contest is the memory from United Arab Emirates last year.

After bowing out of the Asia Cup with a loss to Sri Lanka in September, India’s young brigade will be keen to avenge the loss with a whitewash in the series. While the captain stressed on India not looking to “settle any scores”, he added that India will ensure the Sri Lankans feel like “playing India in India”.

​

The task, though, will be easier said than done. Sri Lanka is an extremely competitive unit, especially in the subcontinent. It will rely on its spin twins — Wanindu Hasaranga and Maheesh Theekshana — to use their prowess and utilise the Indian Premier League experience to pressurise India’s batters.

Pathum Nissanka and Kusal Mendis will be eager to continue their good work at the top of the order. In addition, a fit Avishka Fernando will further bolster the islanders’ batting armoury.

India, on the other hand, will hope that Ishan Kishan will carry on his exploits from the ODIs in Bangladesh at the top of the order. It will be interesting to see who will partner the little dynamo up top. If India’s pre-match training was an indication, Shubman Gill is likely to be handed debut in the shortest format.

Similarly, India will also face a conundrum of selecting its bowling combinations. Yuzvendra Chahal, the lone leggie in the squad, faces stiff competition from spin-bowling allrounders Axar Patel and Washington Sundar.

As for the pace attack, with Arshdeep Singh leading the attack, Umran Malik’s raw pace all but makes him a certainty. Whether India prefers Harshal Patel as the specialst death bowler or hands debut to either Shivam Mavi or Mukesh Kumar will be a point to ponder for Hardik and head coach Rahul Dravid.
