Sri Lanka's bowlers delivered a disciplined performance to limit India to a modest 137/9 in the third and final T20I on Tuesday. The match, which began an hour late due to a wet outfield, saw the Lankans employ tight lines and lengths on a slow pitch to stifle the Indian batters.
Spinners Wanindu Hasaranga and Maheesh Theekshana led the attack, sharing five wickets between them. Hasaranga took 2 for 29, while Theekshana claimed 3 for 28. Vice-captain Shubman Gill top-scored for India with 39 runs, supported by Riyan Parag's 26 and Washington Sundar's 25.
India, having already secured an unassailable 2-0 lead in the series, struggled to build momentum after an early collapse.
Brief scores:
India: 137/9 in 20 overs (Shubman Gill 39, Riyan Parag 26, Washington Sundar 25; Wanindu Hasaranga 2/29, Maheesh Theekshana 3/28).
