A near-capacity Wankhede crowd got the most bang from their bucks and became the envy of cricket fans as they witnessed India set up a 302-run annihilation but also a semi-final berth

Key Highlights
- Shami took his second five-wicket haul in this edition and with 45 scalps
- Facing a daunting chase, the visitors would have wanted a solid start at the Wankhede
- Notably, Kohli’s 88 was nine runs short of Tendulkar’s 97
Watching India intimidate and scar an under-prepared Sri Lankan side on a seemingly placid Wankhede track on Sunday rekindled fond memories of a World Cup Super Six encounter between the same opponents two decades ago.
