Scorecard
Left-arm fast bowler Saurabh Netravalkar routed Sri Lanka, taking 5 for 26 to lead India to a thumping ten-wicket win in Johannesburg. India, who won their second consecutive game, justified their decision to field by picking up early wickets. The first four Sri Lankan wickets fell for just nine runs, with Netravalkar doing the bulk of the damage. He was supported by his new-ball partner Sandeep Sharma, who grabbed 3 for 26, as India allowed just two Sri Lankan batsmen to reach double-figures. Sri Lanka only managed 52, and the Indian openers, Lokesh Rahul and Mayank Agarwal, required just 9.1 overs to complete the victory.
