India easily defeated Sri Lanka by 93 runs in the first of three match T20I series at Cuttack.

The 93-run win is India's greatest win in T20 Internationals, bettering the 90-run triumph over England recorded in Colombo in September, 2012.

The hosts set an objective of 181 for the Lankans to pursue, with KL Rahul putting on a decent show scoring 61 off 48 balls. The Islanders, be that as it may, were bundled out by the grandeur of Indian spin assault.

Sent into bat, Rahul's grand fifty and some sensible batting from Mahendra Singh Dhoni (39 not out) and Manish Pandey (32 not out) mighted India to a formidable 180 for three.

Chahal at that point completed with splendid figures of 4 for 23, taking wicket in each of his four overs to lead Sri Lanka's destruction as the guests were bundled out for 87 out of 16 overs on a dew-loaded Barabati Stadium.
