India Face Sri Lanka XI in Colombo Warm-Up Day 2

India Face Sri Lanka XI in Colombo Warm-Up Day 2

Cricket is a sport where one team bats to score runs while the other team bowls to get them out.

India's cricket team is playing a practice match, called a warm-up game, against a team named Sri Lanka Cricket XI.

The match is happening in Colombo, a city in Sri Lanka.

On the first day, Sri Lanka's batsmen played very well.

Their first two batsmen, called openers, both scored half-centuries, which means more than 50 runs each.

They also shared a century partnership, which means they scored 100 runs together.

By the end of Day 1, Sri Lanka had scored 363 runs but had lost 8 wickets.

India's bowlers had a hard time at the start but bowled better later in the day.

This match is not a first-class game, so it follows special rules.

Each team bats for 90 overs on the first two days and only 45 overs on the third day.
