IND vs SL Highlights: Mohammed Shami picks a 5-wicket haul as Sri Lanka bundled out for a mere 55 in the IND vs SL Cricket World Cup match. It was a pure annihilation by Indian pacers as they ripped apart the Sri Lankan batters. While Jasprit Bumrah dismissed Pathum Nissanka on the first delivery of the innings, Mohammed Siraj picked three wickets in his first two overs. Shami then took the centre stage and picked a 5-wicket haul to end Sri Lanka’s misery. With this win, Team India have qualified for the semi-final of the tournament.
Earlier, India posted 357/8. Shubman Gill (92) and Virat Kohli (88) did the heavy lifting after Dilshan Madushanka dismissed Rohit Sharma on the 2nd delivery. After the partnership was broken, Shreyas Iyer took charge, scoring 82. In the end, Ravindra Jadeja scored 34 as India scored 357/8. Madushanka bagged five wickets. Earlier, Sri Lanka captain Kushal Mendis won the toss and opted to bowl in the India vs Sri Lanka ICC Cricket World Cup game at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai.
The Men In Blue have been in outstanding form, winning all seven of their matches in the tournament and currently leading the points table with 14 points. Meanwhile, with their 5th loss in 7 games, Sri Lanka’s chances to the semi-final has become more bleak.
