Against Sri Lanka earlier in this World Cup, Mohammed Shami became India's top wicket-taker in World Cups.
After being put into bat, India made their way to 357/8, courtesy of excellent knocks from Shubman Gill (92), Virat Kohli (88) and Shreyas Iyer (82). Sri Lanka while chasing were bowled out for just 55 runs with Mohammed Shami and Mohammed Siraj shining with the ball.
