An electrifying fast bowling performance by India’s Mohammed Shami and Mohammed Siraj ignited the World Cup match against Sri Lanka, propelling the undefeated hosts to a staggering 302-run win on Thursday. This victory made India the first team to secure a place in the semi-finals.

India Seals Semi-Final Spot

This win was India’s seventh consecutive triumph in the ongoing 50-over competition, showcasing their unparalleled dominance. Sri Lanka, while pursuing a daunting target of 358 runs, succumbed in less than 20 overs. The ramifications of this defeat have effectively extinguished Sri Lanka’s slim chances of advancing to the knockout phase, with Kusal Mendis’s team enduring their fifth loss in seven matches. Sri Lanka’s innings commenced disastrously, with Jasprit Bumrah making an immediate impact. Mohammed Siraj quickly followed suit, claiming the next three wickets, leaving Sri Lanka at 4/3. Shami, entering the fray next, clinched a five-wicket haul, ensuring India’s supremacy continued unhindered. With figures of 5-18 for Shami and 3-16 for Siraj, Sri Lanka collapsed at 55, marking their lowest World Cup score in the 50-over format.

Indian Batsmen’s Commanding Stance

In the match, India’s stalwarts, Virat Kohli and Shubman Gill, demonstrated batting prowess by notching impressive half-centuries. Their partnership of 189 for the second wicket laid the foundation for India’s formidable total of 357/8. Following their dismissals by left-arm pacer Dilshan Madushanka in rapid succession, Shreyas Iyer stepped up, delivering a rapid 56-ball 82, enriching the innings. Iyer’s blistering innings included three boundaries and six maximums. Madushanka, with figures of 5-80, eventually claimed Iyer, marking his maiden five-wicket haul in one-day internationals. The game began with Madushanka providing an early breakthrough, dismissing the in-form Indian skipper, Rohit Sharma. However, Kohli (88 off 94) and Gill (92 off 92) capitalized on their early reprieves and dominated the Sri Lankan bowlers, steering India to a commanding position.
