Several records were broken during the 2023 World Cup clash between India and Sri Lanka, which the hosts won by 302 runs, the second-largest win in the history of the tournament, to book their place in the semi-finals.

Batting first, India scored 357-8, their first 300-plus score in the 2023 World Cup, led by fifties from Shubman Gill (92), Virat Kohli (88) and Shreyas Iyer (82). Kohli narrowly missed out on his 49th ODI ton, which would have seen him equal Sachin Tendulkar’s tally in the format.

Rohit Sharma, who made 87 in the last game against England, was out for four, with the top four wickets falling to Dilshan Madushanka. The right-hand seamer also went on to dismiss Suryakumar Yadav, ending with 5-80, the most expensive five-for by a quick in ODIs. It was also India’s fifth-highest score in the World Cup, with the highest being 413-5 against Bermuda in 2007 and the highest team score in the tournament without a player making a hundred in the innings.
