India are currently hosting Sri Lanka in a three-match T20I series that began on February 24. Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium in Dharamsala is set to host the last of the three clashes.

The Men in Blue, led by Rohit Sharma, have already taken an unassailable 2-0 lead in the series. On Saturday, February 26, they won their second game in Dharamsala by seven wickets. After being sent in to bat first, the Lankans racked up a decent score of 183 for five on the board.

Pathum Nissanka, who opened the batting, top-scored for them with a 53-ball knock of 75, laced with 11 fours. He was also involved in a 67-run stand for the opening wicket, with Danushka Gunathilaka, who made 38 runs off 29 balls with four fours and two sixes.

Skipper Dasun Shanaka also came to the party at the death as he scored an unbeaten 19-ball 47, decorated with two fours and five sixes. All the Indian bowlers picked up one wicket apiece.

The Men in Blue lost Rohit Sharma and Ishan Kishan early on in the second innings, but Sanju Samson and Shreyas Iyer steadied the ship. Samson looked dangerous, scoring a 25-ball 39 with two fours and three sixes before Lahiru Kumara dismissed him. Shreyas Iyer smashed his way to 74 off 44 balls with six fours and four sixes.

Ultimately, it was Ravindra Jadeja’s blistering 18-ball 45 that took his side over the line with 17 balls to spare and confirmed yet another series victory.
