Sri Lanka have finished the innings with some big blows. fireworks from Pathum Nissanka (75) and Dasun Shanaka (47*) help Sri Lanka to a score of 183/5. Will it be enough?
Shanaka brings up the fifty stand with Nissanka in the penultimate over of the innings, while also guiding the Lankans past 150. How much can the visitors get from here? Can they get 180 ? SL: 156/4 in 18.3 overs
And a solid 50 for Nissanka! he has shown his ability to accelerate greatly post reaching that milestone in his short T20I career so far. SL would need that today. Dasun Shanka also with a few lusty blows. SL: 130/4 after 17 overs
The batter chips it to Rohit Sharma at short cover and that was another offcutter from Bumrah, from wide of the crease. Chandimal shapes to drive, he plays early, and slices a drive to Rohit. Chandimal departs for 9 off 10 balls. SL: 103/4 after 15 overs
Nissanka gives Sri Lanka a much-needed push by stepping down and driving one from Bhuvneshwar over cover for four. The right-handed opener then picks up another boundary with a pull that goes fine. Pathum Nissanka (43*) hits two fours as Bhuvneshwar Kumar leaked 12 runs in the over. SL: 98/3 in 13 overs
Harshal picks up Mishara! That was the slower one again at 115.7kmph and its full and dips outside off. Creates distance between the bat and pitch. Shreyas Iyer takes a good catch. SL: 76/3 after 11 overs
Jadeja snares Gunathilaka and it is caught by Venkatesh Iyer! Chahal has dismissed Asalanka cheaply. Yuzi gets his first of the night. Plumb as it can get. Asalanka is trapped in front of the wicket. SL: 69/1 after 9 overs
Gunathilaka has got the measure of Jadeja and smashes him for two sixes and a four. this is a small ground, so the bowlers don't have much to play with here. True pitch and Gunathilaka goes for glory with no fear.
Nissanka tries to play the reverse sweep but extra bounce induced a false shot & give him a boundary towards fine leg. Didn't middle it, but got enough on it for four over the keeper's head. SL: 41/0 after 7 overs
End of Powerplay! With conditions favouring swing and Indian bowlers on top, the Lankans will be the happier side without any loss of wicket. Pathum Nissanka 14* & Danushka Gunathilaka 14* are in the middle. SL: 32/0 after 6 overs

Sri Lanka have got a move on as Gunathilaka drives it past cover for four. Despite the wet outfield, the ball has traveled quickly to the boundary ropes. SL:: 13/0 after 3 overs
Jasprit Bumrah doesn't get an LBW appeal his favour against Gunathilaka. Plenty of movement on offer, both ways for Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Bumrah. India will be keen to make the most of these conditions with quick strikes. SL: 6/0 in 1.4 overs
Nissanka and Gunathilaka are at the crease. Nissanka is on strike. Bhuvneshwar will open the attack. LET'S PLAY!
