Sri Lanka versus India CWC 2023 highlights: IND defeated SL by 302 runs to get to the semifinals

Highlights of India vs. Sri Lanka, World Cup 2023: On Thursday at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai, India put on yet another brutal display, crushing Sri Lanka by 302 runs. With this result, India became the first country to earn a spot for the semifinals and they won their seventh straight game.

After being asked to bat first, India amassed a formidable 357/8 thanks to half-centuries from Shubman Gill, Shreyas Iyer, and Virat Kohli. Following Rohit Sharma’s cheap dismissal in the opening over by Dilshan Madushanka, who went on to claim five wickets, Kohli and Gill each scored half-centuries on their way to an incredible partnership of 189 runs. After Madushanka interrupted the wicket-taking stand and prevented both set batsmen from reaching their century, Sri Lanka recovered thanks to the wickets of KL Rahul and Suryakumar Yadav. Iyer, though, returned to brilliant form and hammered off a 56-ball 82 to guarantee that India reached 300 before two thunderous strokes from Ravindra Jadeja in the closing stages lifted the total above 350.

Then, with a strike on the first ball, Jasprit Bumrah gave India the ideal start. Then Mohammed Siraj broke the celebration, taking two wickets in an over to reduce Sri Lanka to 3-4. Siraj had picked 6/21 in the Asia Cup 2023 finals. The Lankan innings was done in 19.4 overs when Mohammed Shami, who is in fantastic form, finished with a five-wicket haul.
