IND vs SL 1st ODI: Kohli’s century, Umran’s pace help India thrash Sri Lanka by 67 runs

The Hindu  

Virat Kohli’s 45th hundred in the 50-over format propelled India to a convincing 67-run victory in the first of the three-match ODI series against Sri Lanka at the Barsapara Cricket Stadium here on Tuesday. Apart from Kohli, who scored his third ODI century in the city and second successive one at the venue, captain Rohit Sharma and his opening partner Shubman Gill got fifties on a batters’ paradise as India, inserted, posted a strong 373 for seven. Express bowler Umran Malik’s career-best three-wicket haul enabled India to restrict Sri Lanka for 306 for eight despite skipper Dasun Shanaka’s defiant unbeaten hundred and Pathum Nissanka’s half-century. Bowling fast, Umran removed Nissanka in the 31st over to draw life out of Sri Lanka’s chase and secured Dunith Wellalage’s wicket to mark a fruitful outing.
