7.37pm: Incredible first-half of the match. India will be content with 173 for 3, the highest team total in this World Cup. Half-centuries from captain and vice-captain and a handy contribution from Shafali stood out for India. They scored 46 at the death (16-20) today, the most by any team in this T20 World Cup. After a strong 98-run opening stand, SL pulled things back - briefly - with two-wicket over from Athapaththu but they did miss a few opportunities on the field. Mandhana, Rodrigues and Kaur used the crease well to create scoring chances and showed better intent. Will this be enough for India or are we going to see SL's first win of this tournament tonight? Join Sudarshanan after a short break for the start of the chase.
