India's 'second-string' team made a mockery of the Sri Lankan team after chasing the target and winning by seven wickets in the first ODI. Youngsters Prithvi Shaw and Ishan Kishan smashed fours and sixes for fun and got the Men in Blue the victory. With the win, India made significant gains as they climbed to the fifth position by enhancing their tally to 40 points. Speaking of Sri Lanka, they remained at the penultimate spot with just 13 points in the bag. With the target not that daunting, the visitors could have walked away with a comfortable win.
