When is Team India's next match in the series against Sri Lanka?
India beat Sri Lanka in the Super Over in the third and final T20I of the three-match series at the Pallekele International Cricket Stadium on Tuesday, July 30. With the win, the Men in Blue completed a 3-0 whitewash of the hosts.
In a low-scoring thriller played on a turning pitch and delayed by rain, Sri Lanka won the toss and decided to bowl first. The Lankans did a great job to pick up the first five India wickets for only 48.
However, Shubman Gill (39), Riyan Parag (26) and Washington Sundar (25*) combined to lift India to 137-9 even as Maheesh Theekshana claimed three wickets and Wanindu Hasaranga two.
In their chase, the top three once again laid a great platform for the hosts. Kusal Perera top-scored with 46; Kusal Mendis made 43 and Pathum Nissanka 26. However, the middle and lower-order once again crumbled as Sundar, Ravi Bishnoi, Suryakumar Yadav and Rinku Singh claimed two wickets each. India then dominated the Super Over without any trouble.
