Asitha Fernando to Rohit Sharma, FOUR! A real gift for Rohit Sharma first up and he duly obliges. A half volley on the pads, Sharma just lets the ball come on and caresses it wide of mid on, the ball speeds away to the fence and India are off the mark in style.

Maheesh Theekshana to Rohit Sharma, FOUR! Stand and deliver, sublime timing from Sharma there! Length ball around off, not short and wide by any means, Rohit simply rocks back and pats it sweetly square through covers for a boundary.

Maheesh Theekshana to Rohit Sharma, SIX! Rohit Sharma makes that shot look so easy! Quicker again and fuller on the stumps, Sharma simply sits down, gets inside the line and sweeps it over deep fine leg for a biggie.

Maheesh Theekshana to Rohit Sharma, MISFIELD AND FOUR! Full and wide, there to be hit, Rohit Sharma throws his hands at it but doesn't quite time it. However, he gets enough power on it and Dunith Wellalage gets a bad bounce at covers, only managing a bit of hand on it as the ball runs away to the fence.

3.5
Maheesh Theekshana to Rohit Sharma, FOUR! In the gap and Rohit Sharma is putting Maheesh Theekshana to the sword. Persists to bowl quick and full outside off, Sharma creams the cover drive, hitting it in between mid off and covers as the ball blitzs to the boundary ropes.

3.6
Maheesh Theekshana to Rohit Sharma, FOUR! Luck now favoring Sharma as well and Maheesh Theekshana cannot believe it, 18 off that over. Slows it up a bit and angles it full and into the pads, Sharma sits down for the big sweep but gets an inside edge past leg stump and fine of short fine leg for yet another boundary.

4.3
Asitha Fernando to Shubman Gill, OUT! TIMBER! Asitha Fernando sends Shubman Gill packing and Sri Lanka have an early wicket. Fernando bustles in and hits the deck hard at 132 KPH on middle, getting it to just angle back in. Gill tries to break the shackles by coming down the pitch and has a wild swing across the line but the ball keeps a tad low and beats the ball to smash into the stumps. Gill hasn't looked settled throughout this ODI series and departs for another low score.

4.5
Asitha Fernando to Virat Kohli, FOUR! That one bursts through the hands and Virat Kohli would have had his heart in his mouth for a second. Hard length on middle, squares Kohli up beautifully and the leading edge is found. The fielder at point is just too close in and has no time to react as the ball flies to his left and goes through the hands in a flash. Maheesh Theekshana at deep third covers good ground to his right and dives in to collect the ball but takes a tumble and lets the ball over the ropes. Asitha Fernando on song here!

5.4
Dunith Wellalage to Rohit Sharma, FOUR! Dunith Wellalage releases all the pressure with a loose delivery. Short and wide, begging to be hit, Rohit Sharma stands tall and slaps the ball past point for a boundary.

6.5
Asitha Fernando to Virat Kohli, EDGED AND FOUR! Good length on off stump, leaving the batter late and Virat Kohli gets a bit squared up but does well to watch it all the way and edges it down with soft hands, well fine of deep third for a boundary.

6.6
Asitha Fernando to Virat Kohli, FOUR! A shot in anger out of nowhere from Virat Kohli but it does the trick. Pitched up on the stumps, angling in, Kohli skips down the pitch and heaves across the line, lifting the back leg up and gets it well over mid-wicket. The ball bounces and trcikles into the fence.

7.1
Dunith Wellalage to Rohit Sharma, OUT! EDGED AND GONE! A sharp catch behind the stumps from Kusal Mendis and Dunith Wellalage gets the big wicket. Wellalage tosses the ball up, wide of off stump and not quite full either. The ball grips and turns away big as Rohit Sharma sits down to play that favorable slog sweep. Sharma goes against the turn though and gets a faint bottom edge on it. Kusal just moves to his right and pouches it with both gloves, excellent take given that one turned and bounced extra as well. For the first time this series, Sri Lanka have managed to send back Sharma before his fifty and India in a bit of early bother.

7.2
Dunith Wellalage to Rishabh Pant, FOUR! Wow, what a shot to play first up! Pitched up full on off and middle, Rishabh Pant gets on the front foot and flicks it away with stellar timing and through the gap at mid-wicket for a boundary.
4
8.5
Asitha Fernando to Virat Kohli, FOUR! Smartly played by Virat Kohli. Short of a length over leg stump, sitting up for the batter, Kohli gets on his toes, lets the ball come on and uses the ball on the ball to tuck it wide of short fine leg for a boundary.
W
9.2
Maheesh Theekshana to Rishabh Pant, OUT! STUMPED! Maheesh Theekshana comes back into the attack and picks up a wicket, India now 3 down for 63 inside the first Powerplay. Rishabh Pant pre-meditates and walks down the pitch as Theekshana flights it up on a dragged length and gets the ball to turn away. Pant is beaten in the flight and ends up just walking past the ball. Kusal Mendis has all the time in the world to dislodge the bails. Poor from Pant as there was no need to do that.

9.5
Maheesh Theekshana to Shreyas Iyer, FOUR! That's nicely done by Iyer! A bit too short, not all that wide bu Iyer rocks back and cuts it really late and well behind point for a boundary to get off the mark.

10.5
Dunith Wellalage to Virat Kohli, OUT! LBW! An appeal for LBW and up goes the finger! Virat Kohli sends it upstairs for a review! Dunith Wellalage stays around the stumps and lands it in the channel of the middle and leg with an in-drift on a fullish length. It comes off quickly from the deck. Virat Kohli strides out for a front foot defence as he anticipates the ball to turn but it straightens up and he plays it over the line of the ball and gets rapped on the front pad. UltraEdge shows there's nothing on it. Ball Tracking confirms it is pitching inside the line of the stumps and is hitting the stumps. A massive, massive scalp for Sri Lanka as Virat Kohli departs on 20. The top four of India have blown away in a quick succession.

12.1
Dunith Wellalage to Axar Patel, OUT! OUTCLASSED! OUTFOXED! This is a sensational bowling display from Dunith Wellalage. He stays around the stumps and lands it on a flatter trajectory with a quicker pace on a length and on the middle stump line. It turns degrees into the batter and Axar Patel is totally squared up for room. He finds himself in a weird position to negotiate with the excessive turn and bounce and the ball crashes into the stumps. Sri Lankans are all pumped up and why not! Half of the Indian side is back into the sheds in the 13th over itself.

12.2
Dunith Wellalage to Riyan Parag, FOUR! Off the mark with a boundary. Full and dropped on leg, Parag bends low crouching on it and paddles it behind deep fine for a boundary beating the fielder who runs from deep backward square to intercept it.

12.4
Dunith Wellalage to Shreyas Iyer, FOUR! In the gap! Full and on the middle, Shreyas Iyer reverse sweeps it past the diving backward point for a boundary.
W
12.5
Dunith Wellalage to Shreyas Iyer, OUT! LBW! Another huge appeal and the finger goes up again! Shreyas Iyer with that grim look on his face goes upstairs! This is pitched on the leg stump line, shade fuller in length and straightens after pitching. Shreyas Iyer goes back and across but opens his body to tuck it to the leg side and gets pinged on the front pad. Nothing on UltraEdge and Ball Tracking confirms three reds. The on-field decision stays and India burn a review here, but worse, India lose their 6th wicket. Dunith Wellalage has completely run through the Indian middle order. He gets his fourth wicket and Sri Lanka are sniffing a historic series win already with the Premadasa echoing to its fullest.

13.1
Jeffrey Vandersay to Riyan Parag, FOUR! Cut away into the gap! Jeffrey Vandersay starts off with a slip in place. Lands it full and outside off, Riyan Parag goes deep inside the crease and uses the width to perfection and cuts it into the gap between short third and point for a boundary.

13.3
Jeffrey Vandersay to Shivam Dube, FOUR! Punched away! Not that short but outside off, Shivam Dube reads the googly well off the bowler's hand and uses those long levers to slash it over cover for a boundary towards the vacant deep covers.
W
15.6
Jeffrey Vandersay to Riyan Parag, OUT! BOWLED'EM! It's getting from bad to worse now for India! 7th wicket down on a paltry 100. A googly now, around off, fuller in length. Riyan Parag takes out a big stride and expects the ball to turn away and looks to leave it alone but the ball stays straight after pitching and skids quickly as well. Riyan Parag is left two-minded whether to hit or leave it and the ball, within a fraction of a second dismantles the furniture. Total misjudgment from Parag and he too falls after a confident start.

17.3
Jeffrey Vandersay to Shivam Dube, OUT! LBW! An appeal and 'Out' says the umpire raising his finger. Dube cannot challenge it as India have no reviews left now. Jeffrey Vandersay lands it flat and full right in front of the stumps, and gets a bit of turn into the southpaw. Shivam Dube walks down a couple of steps and sits down to sweep it hard over the leg side but plays over the line of the ball and does not connect the shot at all. Gets rapped on the thigh pad of his back leg. Dube wants a review but India have burnt both of them and walks back in absolute distraught. India lose their 8th wicket. Sri Lanka just a couple of wickets away from a historic series win.

18.6
Maheesh Theekshana to Washington Sundar, FOUR! Down the ground! Length ball on the middle and leg stump line, Washington Sundar waits for the ball to arrive and flat-bats it over the bowler's head for a boundary towards the right of long on.

21.1
Jeffrey Vandersay to Washington Sundar, SIX! Not much to lose here for the tailenders and that is a brilliant shot from Washington Sundar. Tossed up, full and on leg stump, turning in, Sundar gets the front leg out of the way and heaves it over cow corner for a biggie.
6
21.4
Jeffrey Vandersay to Washington Sundar, SIX! Probably the shot of this run chase and Washington Sundar mustering up some vital runs here. Bowled from around the stumps, pretty full and on off, Sundar leans on, gets under the ball and just lifts it effortlessly over long off for another biggie.
4
21.5
Jeffrey Vandersay to Washington Sundar, FOUR! Terrific shot again from Washington Sundar and 18 runs off the over with one ball to go. Tossed up again on the stumps, Sundar has enough time to go for the reverse sweep and nail it towards deep fine leg. Janith Liyanage runs to his right and puts the dive in but can't stop the boundary.
6
23.1
Maheesh Theekshana to Washington Sundar, SIX! Washington Sundar is playing a bit of a blinder here and Sri Lanka haven't sealed things just yet. Just too full from Maheesh Theekshana, bowled from around the stumps and on off, Sundar gets under the ball and whacks it well over long off for a biggie.
W
25.6
Maheesh Theekshana to Washington Sundar, OUT! CAUGHT! Jeffrey Vandersay hangs onto the catch on the second attempt and Sri Lanka have the wicket they wanted. Maheesh Theekshana flights the ball up on a dragged length around off stump and draws Washington Sundar forward. Sundar leans on and looks to loft it away but has to reach for it and ends up skiing it over mid off. Vandersay comes in from the long off fence and moves to his right before fumbling the ball but he manages to regain composure and snatches it on the second attempt. Sundar departs after a fighting knock and Sri Lanka are one wicket away from victory.

26.1
Dunith Wellalage to Kuldeep Yadav, OUT! LBW! HISTORY HAS BEEN SCRIPTED AT THE 'KHETTARAMA'! And the 27-year long wait has finally come to an end for Sri Lanka. Dunith Wellalage hustles from around the stumps and dishes out a flighted conventional off-break around the middle and off stump line. Kuldeep Yadav sits down on his knee to sweep it away but completely misses and plays over the line of the ball, wearing it on the front pad and right in front of the pegs. Joel Wilson raises up his finger and the crowd erupts in delight and pride as Sri Lanka beat India by a huge margin of 110 runs. The hosts seal the series by 2-0. And in all fairness to say, the Lankan spinners have outnumbered the Indian batters in this ODI series. Dunith Wellalage finish off with a spectacular 5-fer.
