Indian pacers showcased their prowess in a high-stakes World Cup 33rd match at the iconic Wankhede Stadium. Chasing a formidable target of 358, Sri Lanka's innings took a disastrous turn early on as they found themselves at 3/4. 

The relentless Indian pace attack was in scintillating form, led by the talismanic Mohammed Shami, who played a pivotal role in Sri Lanka's early collapse.

In the 10th over of the match, it was Shami's precision that proved decisive. Bowling round the wicket and delivering a length ball well outside off, he enticed Charith Asalanka into an ill-fated shot.

Asalanka attempted an aerial cut, but the ball found its way to the backward point region, where one of the finest fielders in the world, Ravindra Jadeja, was strategically positioned. With graceful ease, Jadeja completed the catch, and Asalanka had to depart with a mere solitary run to his name.

This wicket signaled the beginning of a remarkable downfall for Sri Lanka, who were reeling at 14 for 6 in just 14 overs. The Indian pacers had set the stage for a compelling contest, and Shami's contribution was undeniably vital in this crucial World Cup encounter.
