IND vs SL: Mohammed Shami claimed five wickets as India’s speed attack outshone Sri Lanka with just 55 runs scored on their scorecard. Shubman Gil, Virat Kohli, and Shreyasir Iyer all played vital roles at bat, with Mohammed Siraj and Jasprit Bhumrah effectively stopping their batters’s runs from scoring.
Mohammed Shami took four wickets in a row to hasten Sri Lanka’s collapse, further weakening their batters. Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Siraj got India off to an excellent start by taking four early wickets each before Charith Asalanka, Angelo Mathews, and others tried their best to stabilize Sri Lankan batting.
India achieved 357/8 against Sri Lanka during their World Cup match. Virat Kohli scored 88 runs off 94 balls, while Shubman Gil scored 92 off 92 deliveries for India. In contrast, Shreyasi Iyer scored 82 off 56 balls to lead India’s efforts.
Ravindra Jadeja made it past 350 with 35 off 24 deliveries to push India past 350 total runs scored against Sri Lanka, with Dilshan Madhushanka being its star bowler with figures of 5 for 80 in 10 Overs.
Virat Kohli has overtaken Sachin Tendulkar to record the most runs scored in an ODI season. Former India captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni fell short of matching Sachin Tendulkar’s record for most One Day International (ODI) hundreds (49) achieved in just 49 matches.
Virat Kohli of India’s team playing in Russia won its 50-over match against Sri Lanka and scored 1000 runs. He made history.
Shubman and Virat’s partnership, combined with Shreyas Iyer’s explosive middle overs, propelled India to score 357/8 against Sri Lanka on Thursday at Wankhede Stadium.
Gill, Kohli, and Iyer had plenty of chances to score runs at Wankhede Stadium’s high-scoring environment.
Sri Lanka has won the toss at Mumbai’s Wankhede Stadium and will bat first. Rohit Sharma expressed his satisfaction with this decision, adding that had it been up to him, he would’ve batted first on home ground.
Due to Sri Lanka’s decision, India will open with Shubman Gil and Rohit Shah as opening partners. Rohit left early, which enabled Virat Sharma to come on for his debut over.
Rohit’s team was victorious in their match against Sri Lanka at the Asia Cup Final thanks to Mohammed Siraj’s goal, comprehensively defeating their neighbors 2-0.
Rohit Sharma of India remains unbeaten at this year’s ICC Cricket World Cup with six victories under their belt so far and hopes to become the first team in this tournament to advance past the quarterfinals and reach the semi-finals.
Shreyas Iyer will be looking to put up his best performance against Lanka on his home ground, having amassed 134 runs across six matches at an average score of 33.50.
However, Shreyas Iyer has yet to exactly excel at the World Cup this year, as teams have targeted his vulnerability against short deliveries as an area for improvement.
Sri Lanka has experienced an emotional rollercoaster during a tournament beset with injuries. After consecutive losses against South Africa and Pakistan in their first three matches, they recovered with two victories over England before suffering defeat against Afghanistan, which effectively ended their World Cup dreams.
Sri Lanka currently sits seventh on the ICC World Cup points table with four points and has an ICC World Cup run rate net of -0.275, making them 7th on their home turf and playing under Kusal Mendis’ leadership.
They must win again to stay competitive and advance further in this tournament. Mohammed Siraj congratulates Shami for breaking records against SL with the fifer.

Sri Lanka Breaks 48-Year-Old Unwanted Record Against India

IND vs SL: Mohammed Shami is the Player Of The Match
“I would like to express my deep appreciation to Allah for our hard work, the rhythm we’ve found, and how our bowling unit produces such spectacular performances on the cricket field.
There cannot be anyone who doesn’t appreciate how we bowl!” I always strive to do my best, to find my rhythm by pitching balls where needed and finding my pitch spots.”
As big tournaments can make it challenging to recover lost rhythm, we focused on hitting the correct areas and lengths from the beginning – it worked, so why shouldn’t we try again? Yes, it may be challenging, but please remember your rhythm must be correct to achieve success.
Striking white balls at just the right spots allows movement away from the pitch, which is the main objective. It doesn’t involve rocket science – rhythm, food, keeping your mind clear, and love for people.
India provides so much support when you leave India, so I will continue to ensure everyone is satisfied.” “I aim to make everyone happy.”
IND vs SL: Rohit Sharma After The Match
“I am overjoyed that we qualified for the semi-finals. This was our primary objective. Our approach has been strategic in each game; many people put forth effort into playing each game.
They also faced the challenge of scoring runs while batting.” When trying to score numerous runs, this template must be used. Both batters and seamers deserve credit for reaching that total.
Shreyas, in particular, stands out with his strong mind and rugged exterior. Siraj did what he’s known for today – taking on both bowlers and opposition batters quickly. Siraj has worked hard on improving his game, and we got to witness what he can achieve today.
Siraj is an outstanding bowler; if that is what Siraj contributes, then that will make a massive difference for our side. “I was delighted with Surya and his performance, along with his team. His performances against England and now show their quality and consistency as seamers; both players were lethal when conditions allowed.”
“I have left it up to the bowler to make these decisions; however, I must find individuals I can entrust. Some may make wrong calls on occasion – which happened today – though sometimes things don’t go exactly to plan.”
IND vs SL: Kusal Mendis After Match
“I am extremely dismayed that we couldn’t match their bowling with swing and seam. However, you cannot say this because Madushanka did an outstanding job in bowling first due to slow conditions on the wicket; Shubhman and Virat missed their chances, and it turned into a different game altogether;
Everyone bowled well during the middle innings with fast bowlers from Bangladesh and New Zealand doing extremely well in the early six overs; ultimately all their fast bowlers should be acknowledged.
We have two games against Bangladesh and New Zealand coming up so hopefully we will come out stronger next time around!”
India’s Next Match
India vs Sri Lanka Live: India won their match against Sri Lanka by 302 runs. Rohit Sharma’s side will next play South Africa at Eden Gardens, Kolkata, for World Cup 2023, match number four; both countries have shown great form thus far during this World Cup season, and this battle of titans should prove interesting!
