NEW DELHI: Debutant Shivam Mavi made a dream debut on Tuesday, but India were in a spot of bother before eking out a narrow two-run victory against Sri Lanka at the Wankhede stadium. The thrilling last-ball win in the opener gave India a 1-0 lead in the three-match T20I series.
Sent in to bat, India recovered from a top-order collapse to post a competitive 162 for five riding on the unbeaten 68-run stand for the sixth wicket between Deepak Hooda (41 not out off 23 balls) and Axar Patel (31* off 20).
