Sri Lanka A vs India A, 1st Match, Tri Nation A Series in Sri Lanka 2026 - HighlightsSLA vs INDA, 1st Match, Tri Nation A Series in Sri Lanka 2026 - Highlights

Garuka Sanketh to Ayush Badoni, out Lbw!! Slower delivery does the trick. A slower yorker at the stumps and Ayush Badoni completed gets deceived by it. Looks to swipe it through the leg-side, gets rapped on the pads, and up goes the umpire's finger. End of a handy cameo by Ayush Badoni. Ayush Badoni lbw b Garuka Sanketh 24(18) [4s-2]

Karunaratne to Suryansh Shedge, FOUR, short and slow around off, Suryansh Shedge waits for it to arrive and smashes it right over the bowler's head for a boundary. Very expensive over by Chamika Karunaratne

Karunaratne to Suryansh Shedge, SIX, juicy full toss on the pads and Suryansh Shedge has whipped it over deep backward square leg for back-to-back maximums

Karunaratne to Suryansh Shedge, SIX, 250 up for India A! This was a shortish delivery and Suryansh Shedge thumped it over long-on for a convincing six. Was struck powerfully and cleared the fence comfortably

Mohamed Shiraz to Ayush Badoni, FOUR, an ideal start to the over for India A. This was a full toss outside off, Ayush Badoni opens the bat face and slices this through backward point for a boundary

Garuka Sanketh to Ayush Badoni, FOUR, not a convincing shot, but he'll take it. Ayush Badoni goes down on his knee to drag this through the leg-side, gets an inside edge past the leg-stump. Very similar to the french-cut

Mohamed Shiraz to Tilak Varma, out Bowled!! Another set batter departs. Sri Lanka pulling things back to an extent. Pitched up by the bowler around off, Tilak Varma goes for sweep and ends up getting a bottom edge onto the stumps. He shuffled way to across, hence couldn't middle it. A pretty handy innings, but his strike rate could have been much better. Tilak Varma b Mohamed Shiraz 60(97) [4s-2 6s-1]

Wanuja Sahan to Ruturaj Gaikwad, out Caught by Avishka Fernando!! Ruturaj Gaikwad departs after notching up a well deserved century. Goes for the slog and holes out to deep mid-wicket. Fernando latches onto a safe catch and Ruturaj Gaikwad walks back to a standing ovation from his teammates. A pretty impressive knock that was. The ball was very close to the rope but Avishka judged it well. Rutu looked at the bottom of the bat after the catch was taken. Was Tilak unhappy that Rutu got out or was he passing on a message to the dugout through Rutu? He seemed a bit animated as well in his chat as Rutu was making his way back. With a lot of power-hitters to follow next, India A will try to maximise the final overs. Ruturaj Gaikwad c Avishka Fernando b Wanuja Sahan 101(114) [4s-6 6s-3]

Wanuja Sahan to Ruturaj Gaikwad, wide, 150-run stand up as Wanuja Sahan fires a wide ball outside off

Wanuja Sahan to Ruturaj Gaikwad, 1 run, Ruturaj Gaikwad brings up his 21st List A century. Gets a standing ovation from his teammates and Tilak congratulates him too. This was a flatter delivery and Ruturaj Gaikwad nudged it past the bowler for a single. The bowler bumped into the non-striker so he couldn't stop the ball. Tilak had nowhere to hide though but he still had his hand up in kind of an apology

Mohamed Shiraz to Ruturaj Gaikwad, FOUR, width on offer outside off and Ruturaj Gaikwad has slapped it over covers for a rollicking boundary. Moves closer to his century

Wanuja Sahan to Tilak Varma, 2 runs, 200 up for India as Tilak Varma slices this through point for a couple of runs

Garuka Sanketh to Tilak Varma, SIX, Tilak Varma brings up his fifty with a maximum! On a length around middle and leg, Tilak Varma swipes it over fine leg for half-a-dozen

Ravindu Fernando to Ruturaj Gaikwad, SIX, juicy full toss by Ravindu Fernando and Ruturaj Gaikwad has launched it right over the bowler's head for a towering six. Moves to 80*

V Viyaskanth to Ruturaj Gaikwad, SIX, fifty for Ruturaj. He has held this innings together. Did not have a great IPL but has looked the best batter today. He's got a reprieve the previous ball and will want to make it count. This is a juicy full toss, Ruturaj picked his spot and launched it all the way. The ball sails over the cow corner fence

Sahan Arachchige to Tilak Varma, FOUR, hat-trick of fours for India. Second for Tilak. That should make him feel good and get him going. Fraction short and around off, Tilak opens the bat face and carves it behind square on the off-side

Sahan Arachchige to Tilak Varma, FOUR

V Viyaskanth to Ruturaj Gaikwad, FOUR, boundary after ages. After 11.5 overs. Flatter and sliding into the pads, Ruturaj camps back and whips it off the pads in front of square. The timing was so good that the fielder in the deep had no chance

Sahan Arachchige to Ruturaj Gaikwad, 1 run, dipping full toss, Ruturaj crouches low and sweeps to deep square leg

Ravindu Fernando to Ruturaj Gaikwad, FOUR, poor delivery and Ruturaj helps it along. Drifting down leg, Ruturaj sits down and sweeps it fine

Ravindu Fernando to Ruturaj Gaikwad, out Priyansh Arya Run Out!! 1 run completed. Brainfade moment from Priyansh Arya. There was easily two in it and it's evident from the fact that Ruturaj was able to get home even before the keeper collected the throw. Priyansh thought other wise and stood his ground. The call was too late and Rutu was already cruising. Unfortunately for Priyansh when he tried to ground his bat inside the line before Rutu crossed, Dickwell's foot came in the way and he couldn't ground the bat inside the crease. With both batters at the keeper's end, Dickwella underarmed the ball to the bowler, who took the bails off at his end. It was a push to deep cover, even the deep fielder was jogging, which is why Rutu thought he could steal a second run. In fact he did complete two runs. The replay confirms that Rutu when calling for the second run, looked at his partner, saw Priyansh take off and was convinced his partner was coming. So he turned his head towards the ball to see how quickly it's coming as he had to make it in time. Meanwhile, Priyansh suddenly decided the run wasn't on and slammed the brakes. Now Rutu is ball-watching because he had already got the signal of yes from Priyansh so had no doubts in his mind. Since he's ball-watching, he isn't aware that Priyansh had stopped. Only when he got close to the crease that he got know that his partner had stopped. The funny thing is, Ruturaj had even crossed the stumps before the keeper got the ball. Needless runout when Priyansh Arya was looking good and he has only himself to blame. Priyansh Arya run out (Avishka Fernando/Dickwella/Ravindu Fernando) 32(32) [4s-4 6s-1]

Ravindu Fernando to Ruturaj Gaikwad, SIX, great use of the feet to get to the pitch of this flighted delivery and he smashes it straight towards the sightscreen

Mohamed Shiraz to Priyansh Arya, FOUR, oh that's off the bottom of the bat. Short delivery, Priyansh early into the pull, gets away with the edge

Ravindu Fernando to Priyansh Arya, 2 runs, fullish delivery outside off stump, Priyansh drives off the front foot through cover

Mohamed Shiraz to Ruturaj Gaikwad, FOUR, lovely front foot push, tease for the man at mid-off and he gives chase and dives but the ball just escapes. Lovely from Rutu. Just leaned into the drive and placed it to the left of mid-off

Garuka Sanketh to Priyansh Arya, FOUR, cut away nicely. This time in front of square. This is brilliant batting. Sri Lanka placed deep point in the previous over so he cut the ball finer. Now the man is more at deep backward point so Priyansh plays in front of square. Fielder actually got there to the left but couldn't quite man a clean stop

Mohamed Shiraz to Priyansh Arya, FOUR, that's exactly the shot he practiced after leaving the previous ball. And the length also allowed this shot. Wasn't full to deny this shot and the moment it was back of a length, Priyansh looked to place it fine. No third man and no way deep point could have cut that off to the right

Karunaratne to Priyansh Arya, FOUR, full and outside off stump, Priyansh leans forward and plays a square drive through cover-point and he finds the gap so well

Mohamed Shiraz to Priyansh Arya, SIX, it's taken him 6 balls to open his account and but he does so in style. Full and angling into the LHB from round the wicket, Priyansh leans forward, plays a lovely lofted cover drive and smacks it over the infield

Karunaratne to Prabhsimran Singh, out Caught by Samarawickrama!! Oh that's a great bouncer and Prabhsimran Singh was totally surprised by the length. The ball thuds the glove and goes up, backward point runs in, dives full length and takes it inches off the ground as well. Two great catches resulting in two quick wickets. India in a spot of bother. Full credit to Chamika Karunaratne to having the thought to dig it into the pitch. The batter was not expecting that at all. Prabhsimran couldn't get out of the line as it came around his left chest. Flings the hand in pain as he walks off. Replays confirm sharp bounce and Prabhsimran was gesturing to his PBKS opening partner that kicked off. Prabhsimran Singh c Samarawickrama b Karunaratne 2(11)

Mohamed Shiraz to Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, out Caught by Sahan Arachchige!! Oh that's a lovely diving catch at mid-off. Vaibhav wanted to belt this full ball down the ground, but the bat turned in his hands and flew towards mid-off. The Sri Lanka A skipper judged that so well and ensured he plucked the ball inches from the ground. Massive wicket as Vaibhav could have easily helped India get an above-par total. So the excitement is evident in the home camp. Vaibhav Sooryavanshi c Sahan Arachchige b Mohamed Shiraz 14(12) [4s-3]

Karunaratne to Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, FOUR, lovely hands once again from Vaibhav this time. He didn't hit the ball with any power the moment he saw width. No one at third man so it was a freebie outside off stump. Vaibhav opened the bat face and just guided it past backward point to get another four

Mohamed Shiraz to Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, FOUR, and again! This time he goes aerial over cover. Full and in the slot, asking for punishment, Vaibhav lofts it over the infield and gets four more. Cannot be bowling there to this youngster

Mohamed Shiraz to Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, FOUR, and he starts with a bang straightaway! Short of a length delivery sitting up to be hit, Vaibhav waits and just plays a lovely back foot drive square through point, just in front of square and none of the fielders moved
