Jeffrey Vandersay to Washington Sundar
SIX! Not much to lose here for the tailenders and that is a brilliant shot from Washington Sundar. Tossed up, full and on leg stump, turning in, Sundar gets the front leg out of the way and heaves it over cow corner for a biggie.

Jeffrey Vandersay to Washington Sundar

Jeffrey Vandersay to Washington Sundar
FOUR! Terrific shot again from Washington Sundar and 18 runs off the over with one ball to go. Tossed up again on the stumps, Sundar has enough time to go for the reverse sweep and nail it towards deep fine leg. Janith Liyanage runs to his right and puts the dive in but can't stop the boundary.

Jeffrey Vandersay to Washington Sundar
NOT OUT! The inside edge saves Washington Sundar here and Sri Lanka lose a review now. Jeffrey Vandersay bowls it flatter and from the front of the hand, on a nagging length and around middle, Sundar gets on the back foot to cut but gets caught on the crease. A half-hearted appeal but it is turned down. They go upstairs but UltraEdge confirms the inside edge.

Maheesh Theekshana to Washington Sundar
SIX! Washington Sundar is playing a bit of a blinder here and Sri Lanka haven't sealed things just yet. Just too full from Maheesh Theekshana, bowled from around the stumps and on off, Sundar gets under the ball and whacks it well over long off for a biggie.

Maheesh Theekshana to Washington Sundar
A confident appeal from Kusal Mendis for a caught behind but the umpire says no. Maheesh Theekshana drags this one down and bowls it wide of the off stump, turning it away. Washington Sundar backs away to cut but misses and Mendis does well to move to his left and pouch the ball. No review taken and the replays show that the ball went well under the bat.

Maheesh Theekshana to Washington Sundar
OUT! CAUGHT! Jeffrey Vandersay hangs onto the catch on the second attempt and Sri Lanka have the wicket they wanted. Maheesh Theekshana flights the ball up on a dragged length around off stump and draws Washington Sundar forward. Sundar leans on and looks to loft it away but has to reach for it and ends up skiing it over mid off. Vandersay comes in from the long off fence and moves to his right before fumbling the ball but he manages to regain composure and snatches it on the second attempt. Sundar departs after a fighting knock and Sri Lanka are one wicket away from victory.

Dunith Wellalage to Kuldeep Yadav
OUT! LBW! HISTORY HAS BEEN SCRIPTED AT THE 'KHETTARAMA'! And the 27-year long wait has finally come to an end for Sri Lanka. Dunith Wellalage hustles from around the stumps and dishes out a flighted conventional off-break around the middle and off stump line. Kuldeep Yadav sits down on his knee to sweep it away but completely misses and plays over the line of the ball, wearing it on the front pad and right in front of the pegs. Joel Wilson raises up his finger and the crowd erupts in delight and pride as Sri Lanka beat India by a huge margin of 110 runs. The hosts seal the series by 2-0. And in all fairness to say, the Lankan spinners have outnumbered the Indian batters in this ODI series. Dunith Wellalage finish off with a spectacular 5-fer.
