Malinga's first was the last of the Powerplay overs as Rohit got his second boundary, smashing an over-pitched delivery from Malinga back past him. India were 31 for one at the end of the Powerplay and it was not one of the smoothest start by the favourites. Herath would consider himself unlucky as he could have got Kohli, then on 11, with the first delivery of his spell. He dropped it a bit short and Kohli got on the backfoot to play the pull-shot. Malinga standing at short mid-wicket got his hands to it but it bounced off.
