Sri Lanka vs India Match Stats

FIFTY FOR CHAHAR! Taps a shortish length ball to point and takes a run. A very good knock so far from him, can he take India home?

On a length and around off, nipping in, Kumar defends it off the inner half to mid-wicket and takes a single.

A bumper to follow the batsman down the leg side, Chahar ducks.

Well bowled! A slower delivery, full and outside off, cutting away, Chahar tries for a booming drive but misses.

Wide! Short delivery down the leg side, Chahar allows it through to the keeper. The 50-run stand is up, India are marching along now. 32 needed off 32 balls.

Slower length ball close to off, Chahar pushes it with an angled bat to point and takes a single.

Chameera bangs in a short ball around off, Kumar lets it be and Minod does well to jump and collect the ball. No signal from the square leg umpire and the over is completed. 31 needed off the last 5 overs. This game is on a knife-edge.

Fullish and on middle, helped to mid-wicket.

Leading edge but safe! A leg spinner on off, Chahar tries to flick but it takes the leading edge and goes to point.

In the air... safe! Tossed up ball around off, Chahar decides to take the aerial route but doesn't get the connection right. It drops safely before the long on fielder for a run.

Skidding down the leg side, Kumar tries to work it away but misses.

The batsman has just watchfully blocked this out.

Too full in length on middle, Kumar eases it down to long on for a run. 2 from the over, 29 needed off 24 balls.

EDGED AND FOUR! That possibly brushed the fingertips of the keeper! What a start to the over. This is on a length and outside off, Kumar opens the face of the bat, he looks to play it down to third man but it goes off the outside edge and finds the third man fence.

Well played! Slower delivery, short and on middle, Kumar stays back and calmly guides his pull down to fine leg for a run.

FOUR! Handy runs for India! A short delivery, around leg, Chahar tries to pull but it takes his gloves and speeds away to the fine leg fence. This match is slipping away from Sri Lanka. 20 needed off 21 balls.

This is lazy from Sri Lanka, shoulders are dropping. On a length and outside off, Chahar plays it softly behind square on the off side and returns for the second run as the fielder takes his time to release the ball.

Play and a miss! Slower delivery, shortish and outside off, Chahar pushes at it and misses. The ball bounces in front of the keeper and strikes him in the unprotected area behind the flap of his pads. The batsmen cross for a bye.

Width on offer outside off, Kumar reaches out and slashes it to deep cover for a run. 13 from the over, 16 needed off 18 balls.

Dot to begin! Sri Lanka need a lot more! On off, this is pushed back to the bowler.

Singles will do it for India! On off, this is pushed down to long off for one.

Yet another dot! Flighted on off, this is pushed to covers for one more.

Make that another dot! On middle, Chahar is happy to play Hasaranga out. Blocks it to mid-wicket.

Good sensible batting! On middle, Chahar hangs back and works it to mid-wicket.

End of Hasaranga! He though keeps his team in it with a one-run over. 15 needed in 12. On middle, it is defended. What a spell from Hasaranga. 10-0-37-3 for him.

A single to begin the 49th! Full and on middle, Kumar helps it in the gap at mid-wicket for a single.

FOUR! Another edgy boundary! Not sure why the third man is up with so many runs going down that region! It is short and outside off, Chahar slashes at it and it goes off the outside edge past the short third man fielder for a boundary.

A dot! Chameera might have felt there goes another boundary in that third man region. Good work from the keeper! This is a slower one on off, Chahar looks to play it with an open face of the bat. It goes off the outside edge to the right of Minod who dives and stops it. 10 needed in 9 balls.

Two and Mickey Arthur does not like that work in the field! A short ball, it is slapped through covers. The fielder in the deep does not stop it cleanly as he overruns a bit. He then releases a loopy throw to the keeper and the batsmen get two.

Another one! 7 needed in 7! Short and outside off, this is slapped again but to long off for one. An important ball coming up, can Chameera get a wicket or bowl a dot?

FOUR! Kumar gets it away for a boundary and that is probably the stroke that wins India not only the game but the series too. Again, not a good ball with point and third man in the ring. Full and outside off, Kumar carves it over the point fielder for a boundary. 12 from the over and India are on the cusp of victory.

FOUR! Chahar finishes it in style! A fitting end to this game. A slower short ball on middle, it sits up to be hit and Chahar was ready for it. He smacks it over the mid-wicket fielder for a boundary. INDIA WIN BY 3 WICKETS!
