cricinfo were talking about the indian batting machine and how a depleted SL side would struggle

well ... first match and SL win the toss on a green pitch ... Indian batting machine are 54/6 after 10 overs!

Is there any way back from that for Ind?

Shanaka looks really good for a part-timer seamer.

Mightily impressed with Sri Lanka.

Sri Lanka bowlers = Good

Mix of bowlers a bit dodgy though. Once you get past the fast bowlers I'd be a bit worried.

India batsman = Bad

Ashwin being your top scorer puts you in a world of bother.

that is one of the greenest pitches i have ever seen

yeah bit surprising for a T20 in India of all places.

Been a bit critical of Indian bowlers on here before, and they still lack in many departments, but Bumrah looks a good find for the death overs.

Some spell by ashwin here.

SL are in real trouble here.

21/5.

33/5 in 7 overs

Six down.

Athletic piece of fielding there for the run out.

surprised the pitch is turning loads, considering it looks like a great pitch.
Although it is mostly been poor batting by the sri lankan batsman.

82 all out for SL.

India will make short work of this.

Ashwin and Bumrah made fools of the Sri Lankan batsmen. They still haven't quite got the balance between youth and experience yet.
