India hammered Sri Lanka by 302 runs in Mumbai on Thursday as the unbeaten tournament hosts reached the World Cup semi-finals with a crushing victory.<\/p>\n
Sri Lanka collapsed to 55 all out inside 20 overs, having been set 358 to win.<\/p>\n
Mohammed Shami took 5-18 in five overs after Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Siraj struck with the new ball in an innings featuring five ducks and a top score of just 14.<\/p>\n
Both Sri Lanka openers fell for golden ducks as they slumped to 14-6.<\/p>\n
Bumrah, with 1-8 in five overs, and Siraj (3-16 in seven) did the early damage before Shami took two wickets in two balls as Sri Lanka\u2019s rapid collapse continued.<\/p>\n
India\u2019s winning-margin was their biggest success, by runs, in a World Cup game surpassing their 257-run defeat of non-Test nation Bermuda during the 2007 edition in the Caribbean.<\/p>\n
Virat Kohli missed out on equalling Sachin Tendulkar\u2019s all-time record of 49 one-day international hundreds but still made 88 in a total of 357-8 Opening batsman Shubman Gill top-scored with 92.<\/p>\n
The pair were out in quick succession after they had shared a stand of 189 following the second-ball exit of India captain Rohit Sharma.<\/p>\n
But Shreyas Iyer kept the runs coming with a blistering 82 off just 56 balls including six superbly struck sixes.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
