IND vs SL 1st T20I Highlights: Shivam Mavi (4/22) shines on debut as IND grab victory in final ball thriller

Well that brings us to the end of our live coverage from this game. Join us again on Thursday, January 5 for round 2 of India vs Sri Lanka. Till then it's goodbye and goodnight. 

Deepak Hooda | Player of the Match: I try my best to practice according to the number I bat. We were discussing it is a matter of 2-3 hits and that we will get with some momentum. I want to contribute in every manner. I am coming on the back of domestic cricket and know how to target the spinners.

Dasun Shanaka | Sri Lanka captain: It was (our game to lose). Really disappointing with the way we finished. In Wankhede you need the batsmen to help you cross the line. I use the matchups really well and that's the reason we restricted India to 162. It is still the first game and they (batters) are really good bunch of youngsters, they will come good.

Shivam Mavi (4/22 on Debut): The landing zone was a little slippery. Was waiting for six years after playing U19. Had to work hard in those six years - got injured as well. For a while it looked like my dream will remain a dream. But I kept at it. Having played the IPL, the nervousness is a little less. My idea in the powerplay is to attack and get them out. Favourite dismissal was the first one, getting him bowled.

India win by 2 runs! 

IND vs SL 1st T20I Live: India clinch victory! 

Axar starts off with a WIDE down leg. Rajitha manages to work the 1st ball to midwicket for a single and more importantly bring Karunaratne on strike. Karunaratne leaves the 2nd ball and wants a wide, but the umpire isn’t interested. He then waits on the back foot and pulls the 3rd delivery high over cow corner for SIX. Just 5 needed off 3 balls now! 

Axar sends it outside off and again Karunaratne wants a wide called but it rightly isn’t given. RUN OUT! Karunaratne flicks the 5th delivery to deep midwicket and calls for two but there was never another run there as Hooda sends in a throw at the non-striker’s end to catch Rajitha short. RUN OUT! Axar fires in a quicker final delivery and this time Karunaratne can only mistime the heave to deep midwicket and they try to push for two but Madushanka is caught well short as India win by 2 runs. 

Sri Lanka 160/10 after 20 overs. 

Axar Patel [2.0-0-21-0] is back into the attack to bowl the final over. 

IND vs SL 1st T20I Live: Karunaratne sets up a tense finish! 

Harshal starts with a wide yorker and Karunaratne can’t find the gap. He then sends down a high full toss and it’s given a NO-BALL as they even grab 2 runs. Karunaratne fails to make the most of the free-hit though as he only pulls to long-on for a single. Harshal sends the next ball WIDE down leg and has to reload. Rajitha flicks the 3rd ball to fine leg and Chahal fumbles allowing them to take 3 runs. Karunaratne then pulls the 4th delivery high over midwicket for SIX before grabbing a single on the 5th delivery. Rajitha drives the last ball to long-on for a run. 16 runs come off the over. Just 13 needed off the final over now.

IND vs SL 1st T20I Live: Mavi finishes with 4/22! 

Excellent start to the over from Mavi as he gives away just 1 run off the first 3 balls. CAUGHT! The pressure finally catches up to Theekshana as he goes for the big hit but doesn’t get enough distance on the shot to find the man at long-off. Rajitha walks out and misses with the flick as they grab a leg bye. Karunaratne taps the last ball to point for a single. Mavi caps off an excellent debut with figures of 4-0-22-4. 

Sri Lanka 134/8 after 18 overs. 

Kasun Rajitha, right handed bat, comes to the crease

A four-wicket haul on debut for Mavi as he sends down a clever slow ball and Theekshana goes big only to pick out the fielder at long-off.
