A stroll in the park for India with the bat. Chasing 78 in 8 overs they scored 10 runs off Shanaka's over. Theekshana cleaned up Samson for a duck and bowled a superb over. In walked Suryakumar Yadav and he joined hands with Jaiswal to take the attack to the Lankan bowlers.
While the captain swept for fun the young left-hander continued his good form. Pathirana dismissed SKY after conceding a six but that hardly had an effect on the Indian batters. Hardik Pandya hit a six and three fours to seal the deal as they hunted down the total with 9 balls to spare.
Earlier in the day Kusal Perera notched up a half-century and was involved in a couple of fifty partnerships. Sri Lanka were in a pretty good position at 130/2 after 15 overs. But they faltered in the latter part of their innings for the second time in as many days to finish with an under-par score.
The heavens opened up three balls into India's innings and play was stopped for more than an hour. The strong Indian batting line-up made a mockery of the revised target. Originally India were set a target of 162 runs to chase but 3 balls into the chase with the score reading 6/0 the rain arrived.
This resulted in the target for India being revised to 78 runs in 8 overs. Sanju Samson fell for a golden duck but Yashasvi Jaiswal came out swinging as did Suryakumar Yadav finding boundaries with regularity. Breezy cameos from Jaiswal and Suryakumar took India to the brink of victory.
Then Hardik Pandya came in and provided the finishing touches. Signed sealed delivered! India kickstart their new era in T20 cricket with a series win! All smiles in the Indian camp as Suryakumar Yadav and Co. seal the series with a game to go. As per Abhinav Mukund on air this is India's 77th bilateral T20I series win the most by any team.
As far as Sri Lanka are concerned they have only themselves to blame though imploding twice in 2 days. In the first game they lost their last 9 wickets for 30 runs and then in this game they lost their last 7 wickets for 31 runs.
