Sri Lanka were cruising at 140/1 in the 14th over while looking to chase India’s total of 214, but Axar Patel struck in the 15th over to dismiss Nissanka and Kusal Perera to change the game in India’s favour. Post the duo’s dismissal, Sri Lanka failed to capitalise on their explosive start as they were dismissed for 170.
