IND vs SL T20 Highlights: India beat Sri Lanka by 2 runs in a last-ball thriller

India prevailed over Sri Lanka by two runs in their first T20 International to take a 1-0 lead in the three-match series in Mumbai on Tuesday. Sent in to bat, India scored 162 for five at the Wankhede Stadium, reaching the total after being in a spot of bother at one stage of their innings. In reply, Sri Lanka were all out for 160 in 20 overs with debutant pacer Shivam Mavi (4/20) picking the first two wickets.
21:00 (IST) Jan 03
Sri Lanka 12/1 after 2 overs | Target - 163
Debutant pacer Shivam Mavi grabbed his first T20I wicket in his first over itself. Mavi clean bowled Sri Lanka opener Pathum Nissanka (1) to give India an early breakthrough. Kusal Mendis (10*) smashed back-to-back fours in it but the young pacer got his first scalp.
20:59 (IST) Jan 03
OUT! Shivam Mavi cleans up Pathum Nissanka for 1 | Sri Lanka 12/1 in 1.5 overs
20:56 (IST) Jan 03
FOUR! Kusal Mendis chips it over mid-on fielder for the first boundary of the run chase off debutant Shivam Mavi. | Sri Lanka 7/0 in 1.2 overs | Target - 163
20:53 (IST) Jan 03
Sri Lanka 3/0 after 1 over | Target - 163
Excellent start from India skipper Hardik Pandya, gave away just three runs in it including a wide. Hardik was unlucky not to get a wicket in it, when Sanju Samson dropped a decent chance at mid-off to give Pathum Nissanka an early life.
20:50 (IST) Jan 03
Poll
Can India defend the 163-run target tonight?
20:49 (IST) Jan 03
Pathum Nissanka and Kusal Mendis to start the Sri Lanka run chase. Hardik Pandya with the ball for India.

* In the seven previous T20Is at Wankhede, only twice have teams batting first successfully defended their total. South Africa 209/5 vs Afghanistan in 2016 & India 240/3 vs West Indies in 2019
20:45 (IST) Jan 03
India's innings: Spin - 3/57 in 9 overs (ER 6.33) | Seam - 2/104 in 11 overs (ER 9.45)
20:38 (IST) Jan 03
That's it! India 162/5 after 20 overs
13 RUNS! Deepak Hooda (41* off 23) smacked a six and a four in the final over bowled by Kasun Rajitha to collect 13 runs off it. Hooda and Axar Patel (31* off 22) added 68 runs for the sixth wicket to take India past 160-run mark. But the big question is, will it be enough?
20:37 (IST) Jan 03
SIX! Deepak Hooda (36*) smokes Kasun Rajitha straight down the ground for a big six. | India 157/5 in 19.3 overs
20:34 (IST) Jan 03

20:28 (IST) Jan 03

Excellent over at this stage from pacer Kasun Rajitha, just six runs off it. India need two big overs to post a competitive total.
20:24 (IST) Jan 03
India 128/5 after 17 overs
BOOM! Deepak Hooda (28* off 15) smoked the last ball of the over over deep mid-wicket for his third maximum of the night. The six made sure that India score 10 runs off Wanindu Hasaranga's final over of his spell. The spinner returned figures of 1 for 22 in 4 overs. Hooda is giving India some much needed late push.
20:21 (IST) Jan 03
India 118/5 after 16 overs
17 RUNS! 1 2 1 6 6 1 - Deepak Hooda (20* off 12) smacked two sixes to make a good one for the hosts. Spinner Maheesh Theekshana leaked 17 runs in his final over to return figures of 1 for 29 in 4 overs.

20:17 (IST) Jan 03
India 101/5 after 15 overs
Another good one for Sri Lanka - a big wicket and just 7 runs in it. Dilshan Madushanka removed Hardik Pandya off the first ball and bowled a tidy one at this stage despite conceding a four off the second ball to Axar Patel.
20:13 (IST) Jan 03
OUT! Dilshan Madushanka strikes to dismiss Hardik Pandya (29) | India 94/5 in 14.1 overs
Edged and gone! Hardik Pandya edged it to give a simple catch to keeper Kusal Mendis. First wicket for Dilshan Madushanka, who cramped India skipper with an inswinger. India are struggling to score freely in the middle and regular wickets are not helping them either.
20:11 (IST) Jan 03
India 94/4 after 14 overs
TIDY! India batters are struggling to score against the spinners. Another tidy one from Wanindu Hasaranga, gave away just three singles in it.
