Nidahas Trophy: Thakur, Pandey help India beat Sri Lanka by six wickets

With the scoreboard reading 34/2, Mendis and new batsman Upul Tharanga (22) joined hands and forged a 58-run partnership to stabilise the innings. Just when things seemed good in the middle, Tharanga was sent back by pacer Vijay Shankar in the 11th over, making the score read 96/3. Here we see Sri Lankan fans cheering their team.
