LIVE score updates, India vs Sri Lanka, Nidahas Trophy Colombo: Covers brought back as drizzles get heavy

Rohit Sharma led young team India learnt from their mistakes in the first defeat of their Nidahas Trophy campaign against Sri Lanka and came back stronger in their second game to beat Bangladesh by six wickets. With Bangladesh claiming their first victory in their last encounter against Sri Lanka, the series has been left open for anyone to win. All the three teams will ensure they put up their best show on the pitch against each other. For the young Indian team, it will be a tough task to tackle the wounded Lankan lions, but a win and a loss in their respective last ties separate the two teams.

For India, apart from a misfiring top order, the bowling department will be a major concern with the likes of Jaydev Unadkat not performing on top of their game. Captain Rohit Sharma has failed to deliver in two successive games but boasts a superb record against the hosts. India have a heavy batting deployment waiting for their chance and Rishab Pant's continuous failures suggest that KL Rahul, Deepak Hooda and Axar Patel should be tried on but the situation is tricky and the tournament lies hanging in a balance. Shikhar Dhawan meanwhile has been the bright spot in an otherwise ordinary Indian batting. The Southpaw has enjoyed his Sri Lanka outing but India would expect the same kind of work from other batsmen. Stay tuned as we bring you all the live updates from India vs Sri Lanka, the fourth game of the Nidahas Trophy 2018 in R Premadasa Stadium, Colombo.
