India faced Sri Lanka in the 33rd match of the current World Cup. This match is being held at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. Team India is in a good place with six wins out of six matches. On the other hand, Sri Lanka has won only two out of six matches. They have lost four matches. If they win this match, India will almost guarantee a place in the semi-finals.
At the same time, it is a ‘do or die’ match for Sri Lanka. Defeat will make their situation extremely difficult. Sri Lanka captain Kushal Mendis won the toss and decided to bowl first. India did not get off to a good start after losing the toss and batting first. Captain Rohit Sharma was bowled by Madushankar in the first over of the innings.
In this match of the day, Rohit Sharma returned to the pavilion early, but Virat Kohli and Shubman Gill took control of the innings. The two-star batsmen moved the Indian scoreboard forward bit by bit. As a result, after Virat Kohli completed his fifty, Shubman Gill also scored a 55-ball half-century. It was his 11th ODI half-century.
Shubman Gill was not in great form in the current World Cup. His half-century on this day signaled his return to form. However, Shubman failed to make a hundred. He got out for 92 runs. And Sara Tendulkar was disappointed when Shubman returned.
