Mavi’s performance allowed India to put Sri Lanka on the back foot from the outset of the 163-run chase, as he took a wicket in each of his first two overs. Not only that, but Mavi was as good in his comeback period, giving India a key breakthrough in the shape of Wanindu Hasaranga, who was working on a rescue act for the guests with Sri Lankan captain Dasun Shanaka.
