Wanindu Hasaranga is declared the player of the match as well as the player of the series. Richly deserved.

Sri Lanka win by 7 wickets!

Starting from 2019, India had won their last 8 T20I series. But it’s Dasun Shanaka and Co who clinch this 2-1. The star performer for them tonight was Wanindu Hasaranga who took a four-wicket haul.

SL 77/3 after 14 overs: Four overthrows! Well, it’s no secret that this hasn’t been India’s day. Sri Lanka are almost home.

SL 48/2 after 11 overs: Six runs come from Kuldeep Yadav’s first over. India need quick wickets, that’s the only way they can have a chance.

SL 42/2 after 10 overs: Five runs come from Chahar’s third over. There was an appeal for LBW but the ball was missing the stumps and India ended up losing the review.

SL 20/0 after 4 overs: Varun drops it short and Fernando pulls it for four. Eight runs come from that over. Sri Lanka will be happy with their start.

SL 12/0 after 3 overs: Bhuvneshwar Kumar pitches it on a length and Avishka Fernando pushes it past mid-on for three. Seven runs come from that over.

SL 5/0 after 2 overs: Tidy first over by Varun Chakravarthy, two singles from it. The Sri Lanka openers seem are being watchful.

SL 3/0 after 1 over: Fine first over by Bhuvneshwar Kumar. Plenty of swing for the right-arm pacer and a couple of plays-and-misses by Minod Bhanuka.

9.46 pm: Sri Lanka are ready for the chase. They need 82 runs to win the series. Can India make a match out of this?

Birthday boy Wanindu Hasaranga finishes with sensational figures of 4/9 from his 4 overs.

IND 48/5 after 13 overs: Five runs from that Karunaratne over. Bhuvneshwar and Kuldeep look determined to fight it out.

IND 43/5 after 12 overs: Another quiet over for India, just a single from it. Bhuvneshwar and Kuldeep have plenty of time to get their eye in.

IND 39/5 after 10 overs: This is the lowest ever 10-over total by India in a T20I. India’s lowest ever total in a T20I is 72. They have a long way to go to cross that mark.

IND 33/4 after 7 overs: Another testing over by Hasaranga. He’s found the right length and is using his variations wonderfully.

IND 29/4 after 6 overs: That’s the end of the powerplay. Sri Lanka are in complete control at the moment. India have just one specialist batsmen to play with and need something extraordinary to fight back.

IND 25/4 after 5 overs: WICKET! What. Is. Happening?! Hasaranga has two wickets in his first over. Gaikwad the man dismissed this time. He was given out LBW and opted for the review but it didn’t help. India are in all sorts of trouble.

IND 24/3 after 4.4 overs: WICKET! This is turning into a horror start for India. Now Sanju Samson is out LBW for a duck. The in-form Wanindu Hasaranga, on his birthday, strikes in his first over.

IND 23/2 after 4 overs: WICKET! Devdutt Padikkal is run-out and India are in a serious spot of bother. The left-hander never looked settled at the crease and has to walk back for 9 off 15.

IND 14/1 after 3 overs: Top over by Chameera, just two runs from it. India need a big partnership, they’re once again short on batsmen in the XI.

IND 12/1 after 2 overs: Shot! Devdutt Padikkal gets going with a stylish drive past extra-cover for four. Seven runs come from Chamika Karunaratne’s first over.
