ICC World Cup 2019 IND vs SL highlights: India thumps Sri Lanka by seven wickets

India and Sri Lanka faced each other in the penultimate match of the group stage of ICC World Cup 2019. In the end, the 'Men in blue' thumped Sri Lanka by 7 wickets in what was a largely one-sided contest, to seal their place in the top two of points table. Rohit Sharma became the first batsman to score five centuries in a single edition of World Cup. KL Rahul notched up his first World Cup hundred to compliment his opening partner. India march on to the semifinals brimming with confidence. Lasith Malinga played in his last ever World Cup match, and the 'slinger' would have liked to sign off with a win. But still, the legend gave his all in the tournament, carrying Lanka's bowling attack single-handedly. What a servant he has been for Sri Lankan cricket!

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."

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

Both the Sri Lankan opners walk out into the middle. Can they give their side a solid foundation, against arguably the best bowling attack of this tournament?

Time for the national anthems, and a trivia

Both the teams walk out into the middle for the national anthems.

India's nationa anthem was written by Rabindranath Tagore, and Sri Lanka's by Ananda Samarakoon, whowas a student of Tagore.

Or a tie?
