Sri Lanka A vs India A, 1st Match, Tri Nation A Series in Sri Lanka 2026

Tilak Varma: We want to bat first. Pitchs looks to be around the dry side so we want to bat. 270 should be a good score

Pitch report: It's bright and sunny but there are some clouds hovering around. Pitch looks dry and there are some cracks as well. Should be good for batting and maybe the spinners will be in the game later on.

India A have won the toss and have opted to bat

Avishka Fernando, Niroshan Dickwella, Sadeera Samarawickrama, Chamika Karunaratne... Sri Lanka A have a fair bit of experience in their side as well. So this should be a fun contest between the two sides. We will get you the pitch details, toss and more in a short while.

Good morning everyone! Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, Priyansh Arya, Prabhsimran Singh, Anukul Roy, Arshad Khan, Anshul Kamboj... You saw these youngsters showcase their wonderful talent and impress in the IPL over the last couple of months. Now they are ready to challenge themselves in the slightly longer format. Playing for India A is a step closer to entering the senior national team. The management has asked Tilak Varma to lead the side to see how he grows in this role for any potential opportunities in the future with the senior side. Riyan Parag was the original vice-captain but the injury he picked up during the IPL sidelined him and Ruturaj Gaikwad was roped in as replacement. Rutu had an underwhelming IPL season and will be keen to get back some consistency.

Thanks for the tag

Wow all looking good

National anthem going on

Sahan Arachchige | Sri Lanka A captain: We were thinking to bat first as well. Maybe not give more than 250. Wicket looks dry and it could spin in the second innings.

Tilak Varma | India A captain: We want to bat first. Pitch looks to be around the dry side so we want to bat. 270 should be a good score.

Tillu said 270 score will be a good one

Needs little confidence Too meeky voice At the toss

Prabh and Vaibhav opening

Players are making their way out to the middle. Bright sunshine on one side. Few clouds on the other side and there's a lovely breeze blowing across as well.

Prabhsimran Singh and Vaibhav Sooryavanshi are at the crease. Prabhsimran Singh is on strike. Karunaratne will open the attack

Karunaratne to Prabhsimran Singh, no run, oh nips back in from good length and thuds the pad but too high for LBW and maybe even just slipping down the leg-side as well

Wind is so strong that bell came off on its own
