India beat Sri Lanka by seven wickets. India finish their league stage campaign on a winning note. And if Australia lose today, Virat Kohli and Co can finish on top of points table. 

After 44 overs,India 265/3 ( Virat Kohli (C) 34 , Hardik Pandya 7)

After 43 overs,India 263/3 ( Virat Kohli (C) 33 , Hardik Pandya 6)

Malinga bows out of World Cup with this over which also included his signature yorker which was dealt excellently by Pandya. But a full toss on last ball was put away to the fence by Pandya. Malinga finishes with figures of 10-1-82-1. India need two more.

After 42 overs,India 253/3 ( Virat Kohli (C) 30 , )

India have lost Pant with 12 more required. Pant was hit on pads as he went for a pull. Looked harmless but Sri Lanka still went for a review and it was three reds on ball-tracking. Udana has a wicket.

REVIEW AND OUT! Pant lbw b Udana 4(4)

Excellent review It looked like a harmless review but has produced a wicket. Pant missed the ball trying to play a pull. Umpire gave it not out but it’s three reds on ball-tracking. India lose another wicket.

After 41 overs,India 244/2 ( Virat Kohli (C) 25 , )

Rahul hit two boundaries in the over on either side of the wicket with complete disdain for the great Malinga. But the pacer had his revenge in the end. Cramped Rahul with a short ball who tried ducking but edged it to the keeper. Rishabh Pant is the new man. 21 in 54 needed.

OUT! Rahul c Kusal Perera b Malinga 111(118) 

Malinga had his revenge. Rahul’s fabolous knock has come to an end. A short delivery that cramped Rahul for space. He wanted to duck the ball but ended up gloving it to the keeper.

After 40 overs,India 234/1 ( KL Rahul 102 , Virat Kohli (C) 24)

Indians are not in a hurry. Four collected from Udana’s over as Kohli  and Rahul continue to rotate the strike. 31 now needed in last 10 overs.

After 39 overs,India 230/1 ( KL Rahul 101 , Virat Kohli (C) 21)

India are heavily dependent on top-three and Shikhar Dhawan’s injury could have jeopardised things but credit to Rahul, he has done the job very well. First World Cup hundred for Rahul as he celebrated by kissing the tricolour on his helmet. Eight off the over. 35 more needed.

Both the openers scoring centuries in a same ODI WC match:

Tharanga/Dilshan v Zim, Pallekele, 2011

Tharanga/Dilshan v Eng, Colombo, 2011

Rohit/Rahul v SL, Leeds, 2019*

After 38 overs,India 222/1 ( KL Rahul 99 , Virat Kohli (C) 15)

A bit of tension is building at Headingley. Rahul is on 99. Got off the strike with a tight single but Kohli was committed to the run and reached safely into the crease. 43 more needed.

After 37 overs,India 221/1 ( KL Rahul 98 , Virat Kohli (C) 15)

Rahul pulled the last ball to deep square leg to retain the strike. He’s on 98. Total seven from the over. 44 more needed to win for India.

After 36 overs,India 214/1 ( KL Rahul 93 , Virat Kohli (C) 13)

As expected, Rahul and Kohli have approached this last stretch with a professional attitude. They are not trying to do anything fancy here. Happy to rotate strike. Three from Perera’s over. 51 more needed.

After 35 overs,India 211/1 ( KL Rahul 91 , Virat Kohli (C) 12)

Leggie de Silva has been called back into attack to replace Rajitha. The spinner has been expensive today but just four came off this over.

After 34 overs,India 207/1 ( KL Rahul 90 , Virat Kohli (C) 9)

Few good looking shots on the off in the over but the sweeper cover restricted them to just singles. Four from Perera’s over. India need 58 more.

After 33 overs,India 203/1 ( KL Rahul 88 , Virat Kohli (C) 7)

200 up for India as they collect seven from Rajitha’s over. 62 now more needed in 17 overs. Rahul added a boundary in the over with a well-controlled pull shot behind square on leg.

Rohit Sharma was left out of the 2011 World Cup squad.. Yusuf Pathan made the cut instead. Think about that!

After 32 overs,India 196/1 ( KL Rahul 82 , Virat Kohli (C) 6)

Two off the over as Perera returns to attack. India are just 69 away from a win. With Kohli and Rahul at crease we expect a professional job.

Indian players with 1000-plus runs in ODI WCs:

Sachin Tendulkar
Sourav Ganguly
Virat Kohli*

After 31 overs,India 194/1 ( KL Rahul 81 , Virat Kohli (C) 5)

India lose Rohit and it was a soft dismissal as he chipped his drive off Rajitha to mid off fielder. He has been guilty of not converting his hundred into big scores in this World Cup. But a standing ovation is well deserved. His replacement Virat Kohli gets into the act immediately with a lovely push through off for a four. Five off the over.
