Twitteratis were not silent as the umpires forgot to award India 5 runs for Chandimal's "fake fielding" during India's innings. Virat Kohli was also left fuming after the completely ignored Chandimal's antics on the field. India still ended up scoring 172, thanks to Mohammed Shami's cameo.

Led by Tillakaratne Dilshan’s 83 off 56 balls, Sri Lanka registered a six-wicket victory over Afghanistan in their opening game of the World T20. Despite Afghanistan putting up a challenging total of 153/7, Sri Lanka chased it down with seven balls to spare to announce their title defence.

Avenging the embarrassing defeat they suffered in the first T20I at Pune, India defeated Sri Lanka by 69 runs in the second T20I at Ranchi on Friday to level the series 1-1. The hosts registered a huge score of 196 batting first before stifling the opposition for 127/9 with Ashwin taking three wickets.
