Adieu legend!
Rohit Sharma is the Man of the Match
"I wasn't thinking about milestones, my job is to keep my head straight and get the team towards the finishing line. When you are in, shot selection becomes very important, I try to calculate how I want to go forward, and it has paid dividends, You have to be disciplined in batting, and I've learned from my mistakes in the past."

Indian openers Rohit Sharma and KL Rahul walk out into the middle. Lasith Malinga with the new ball. This is possibly his last ever World Cup match.
The onus will be India's top three: Rohit Sharna, KL Rahul and Virat Kohli to give India a solid start. If Sri Lanka can get a couple of early wickets, then they can expose the vulnerable Indian middle order.
SL 264/7 (50)
The pitch has been slow. The ball has gripped and there has been plenty of turn for the two spinners. Even the pacers resorted to slower balls and cutters. Jasprit Bumrah was once again the peak of the bowlers for India. But on a detorioting pitch, chasing 265 can be a very very tricky business.
Cometh the hour, cometh the man
Pick your side at the halfway stage
Going to be an interesting chase
