IND vs SL: India reached semi-finals with 7th consecutive win, many unique records made in the match
IND vs SL: Thanks to the brilliant bowling of Mohammed Siraj, Mohammed Shami and Jasprit Bumrah, India bowled out Sri Lanka for 55 runs at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. With this victory, India has registered its seventh consecutive win in the World Cup 2023 and secured its place in the semi-finals.
Fourth lowest score in World Cup history :-
Sri Lanka’s score of 55 is the fourth lowest score in all World Cup games and the lowest ever score by a Full Member nation. Earlier, the record for the lowest score by a Full Member nation was in the name of Bangladesh which was bundled out for 58 runs against West Indies in 2011.
Also, this is the fourth time that a team has lost a match by a margin of 300+ runs and the surprising thing is that all these four matches have been played in 2023.
Mohammed Shami achieved a special achievement :-
Apart from this, Mohammed Shami has also achieved a special achievement. In fact, Shami has become the highest wicket taker for India in the World Cup with 45 wickets. He has left behind Javagal Srinath and Zaheer Khan.
Also, this was Shami’s third five-wicket haul in the World Cup and with this, Shami has equaled the record of Mitchell Starc of Australia in terms of taking maximum 5 wickets in the tournament.
Virat Kohli also made a special record in his name :-
In this match, Virat Kohli also made a special record in his name. King Kohli has now become the batsman to score 1000+ ODI runs most 8 times in a calendar year. Kohli achieved this position leaving behind Sachin Tendulkar who has the record of doing this feat 7 times.
The total of 2 runs scored by Sri Lanka’s top five batsmen is the lowest in the history of ODI cricket. Earlier this record was held by Canada who had scored the least four runs against Netherlands.
