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.

Who do you think will win tonight?

Time for the national anthems. First up Sri Lanka's anthem, followed by hosts India's.

I have played so many games here. It seems like a lot here. I want to watch the ball and then take it from there. We are a young side and we are eager to express ourselves. When I first heard the news, thought it was a normal accident and people are making a big thing out of it, but when I got to know, I was really scared. Don't know how fast my heartbeat was during the Ranji Trophy game. We wish him a speedy recovery and wish him all the best [on Rishabh Pant].

Excited. Always been excited to play for the country, but obviously leading now makes it more special. Excited to see how this new bunch of guys express themselves. We were going to bat first. Yes this is a chasing ground but we want to put ourselves in more difficult situations generally in bilaterals. Anyone who comes here will make sure we'll give them the confidence. Two debutants today - Gill and Mavi. Arshdeep was not available.

Going to bowl first. Dew factor will be there later. We were doing well in T20Is except the World Cup. We are following the routines. Got the same batting line-up we had previously. Bowlers will be changed.

Sri Lanka skipper Dasun Shanaka

Pitch Report
"Historically this has been an absolute belter for the batters. Small boundaries is one factor" -- Deep Dasgupta. "Won't get a better venue to start the year in T20Is. Even bounce and pace on this surface. Will be a tough night for bowlers. The threat of dew will make defending difficult" -- Ajit Agarkar
18:20 (IST) Jan 03

18:17 (IST) Jan 03
