There is no stopping Vaibhav Sooryavanshi. The 15-year-old clobbers Tharindu Ratnayake for two sixes and a four in the over as India race away to 58/2 in the powerplay. Shreyas Iyer is giving Sooryavansi all the support from the other end.

OUTTT!!! Sanju Samson is knocked over by Tharindu Ratnayake. The Indian goes on the backfoot to play on the off-side, but the ball skids and clips on the pads before crushing onto the stumps. Samson goes back for 7. IND 24/2 (3)

Time for National Anthems as both teams walk out in the middle. Sri Lanka will go first, followed by India. Anthems over, Vaibhav Sooryavanshi and Abhishek Sharma walk out to bat for India. Tharindu Ratnayake will open the attack for Sri Lanka. Sooryavanshi starts with a four on the final ball of the first over. IND 6/0 (1)

Toss news: Sri Lankan captain Sahan Arachchige has won the toss and opted to field first. The biggest news is the return of Vaibhav Sooryavanshi and Jasprit Bumrah in the Indian playing XI. While Sooryavanshi replaced Sanju Samson at the top, Bumrah comes in place of Yash Thakur.

What happens if the India vs Sri Lanka semifinal clash is abadoned? In this case, India will go through to the final, due to their higher ranking. India are placed on top of the ICC T20I Rankings, while Sri Lanka are 9th.

The strips at the Korogi Sports Park has been on the slower side during the last few days. With rain adding more misery, the pitch is going to be unpredictable.
