Sri Lanka Eleven posts 363/8, India begins chase after early setback

In the opening day of the three‑day warm‑up, Sri Lanka Eleven compiled 363 runs for the loss of eight wickets. Nishan Madushka anchored the innings with a fluent 66 off 65 balls, while Ravindu Rasanga added 71 and captain Sonal Dinusha contributed a steady 52 from 71 deliveries.

India's reply started poorly when opener Yashasvi Jaiswal was dismissed on the second ball he faced, bowled without scoring. The early wicket placed pressure on the Indian batting lineup. KL Rahul and Devdutt Padikkal responded, forging a 67‑run partnership that steadied the innings before rain intervened.

The Indian pace unit, featuring Mohammad Siraj and Prithvi Shaw, struggled to break through the Sri Lankan batting, securing only a solitary wicket between them.
