Team India scored massive 228/5 runs in their 20 overs after batting first. Big smiles on the faces of the two Indian batters as they walk back. The hosts have posted a mammoth total in this series-decider after opting to bat. Kishan fell early, Gill took ten balls to get off the mark and it was Rahul Tripathi who ensured that India had a good powerplay. The Indian No. 3 perished in the final over of the powerplay and in arrived Suryakumar Yadav. The Indian star batsman wasted little time to get off the blocks and he did what only he can do. Shots all around the park, treating every bowler with disdain and he notched up his third T20I century. The Sri Lankan bowlers couldn’t do anything to stop him. They managed to remove his batting partners but that hardly had an impact on India’s scoring rate. Axar Patel continued from where he left in the previous game and played a little cameo towards the end. The visitors breached 200 in the previous game. Can they hunt down this toal and seal their first-ever T20I series in India? Suryakumar Yadav scored 112* runs of 51 balls and Shubman Gill scored 46 runs of 36 balls. For Sri Lanka, Dilshan Madushanka picks 2 wickets for 55 runs in his 4 overs quota.

Sri Lanka unable to chase the target and bowled out for 137 runs in 16.4 overs and lost the game by 91 runs and series by 1-2. A complete no-contest in the run chase. It’s not every day that a team successfully chases down a 220-plus score and the pressure was too much for the young Lankan side to handle. Mendis started well with a flurry of strokes but once India adjusted their lines and lengths, the visitors simply fizzled away. All the bowlers had a good time out there, notably the spinners who did a fine job. There was a bit of grip for the slower deliveries, and that makes SKY’s innings all the more incredible. To state the obvious, his innings just batted Sri Lanka out of the game at the halfway mark itself. The score was about 20-30 runs above par and India were clinical in their plans with the ball. Hardik will be happy with his team’s attitude in this decider game, especially considering how the bowling was taken apart last game at Pune. For SL, there are a lot of positives from the series, because they did stretch India in two of the three games. Kusal Mendis scored 23 of 15 balls and skipper Dasun Shanaka also scored 23 runs of 17 balls. For Team India, Arshdeep Singh picks 3 wickets for 20 runs in his 2.4 overs.
Arshdeep Singh picks up the final wicket of the innings as #TeamIndia win by 91 runs and clinch the series 2-1.
This is also India's 25th bilateral series win against Sri Lanka in India.#INDvSL @mastercardindia pic.twitter.com/AT7UyqA6hf
