Talking about the match, India were put into bat by Asalanka, and the decision paid off immediately as India struggled for runs and lost a couple of early wickets. It was the middle-order resistance, Riyan Parag (26), and Washington Sundar (25), which took them to a decent 137/9.

In reply, Sri Lanka had a decent start, with openers adding 58 runs for the opening wicket. However, as the first wicket fell, the Lankan Lions fell like a pack of cards as Sri Lanka, too, struggled for runs. It came down to the wire, with 6 runs required off 6 deliveries.
