India Beat Sri Lanka By 2 Runs To Take 1-0 Series Lead

Mumbai: Debutant Shivam Mavi scalped four wickets which helped India to clinch two runs victory over Sri Lanka at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on Tuesday.

Harshal Patel and Umran Malik bagged two wickets each. India bundled Sri Lanka in 160 runs.
