A combination of a tricky surface and a rejigged batting order presented India with their first challenge on this tour of Sri Lanka. It wasn’t a challenge they met with a great degree of success, limping to 137-9 after being put in by Charith Asalanka in the final T20I on Tuesday.
Play started an hour late here due to sharp showers and a wet outfield. Immediately when Shubman Gill—one of four replacements for this match—and Yashasvi Jaiswal walked out, it was obvious that this wasn’t going to be a hit-through-the-line surface.
