00:00It's the third T20 International at the Pallakalai International Cricket Stadium, Sri Lanka versus India.
00:17But a short while ago, he won the toss because Suryakumar Yadav called wrong, decided to have a bowl first.
00:26India will be batting first, Sabakar will take us through India.
00:29On expected lines Russell, four changes here, four players rested, Sanju Samson gets another look in, Shubman Gill comes back.
00:38We see Rinku Singh Shivam Thube, part of the World Cup winning campaign.
00:42He's there now, Vashi Sundar, the right arm off-spinner and the all-rounder, he finds a place.
00:47And Khalil, made a comeback in the India Zim series after five years, gets a look in, in today's encounter.
00:54Good evening Scott Cyrus, Sri Lanka for you.
00:56Yeah, expected change I felt, Vikram Sinha coming in on debut for Dasun Shanaka.
01:04He's capped number 108 for Sri Lanka in T20s, so something to look forward to, maybe he is the future.
01:18He's not extra space, balls in the 130s Vikram Sinha.
01:23Mahesh Dikshan.
01:29Gets it on the full, one thing's for sure, India like to sweep.
01:37Cracked, that was tossed up.
01:42He's got enough, he's got enough, heavy outfield but it'll run away.
01:47Is that straight, is that straight, he's bleeding, given.
01:51I did mention, when you're playing the sweep you've got to make contact.
01:54The Indian batters.
01:56Out, I will let you know when you're on screen, you're on screen now, you can make your signal.
01:59Indian batters rarely miss a sweep shot, this time Jaiswal, he misses so he goes for 10.
02:11He sliced that, that's the point.
02:13He sliced that, that's the point.
02:16Taken, Sanju Samson's gone again and a wicket.
02:20Sanju Samson, he gets a duck, a four ball duck for him.
02:26Gets a hand to it, Pathumne Sankar.
02:29Rinku Singh, leans into it nicely, he's off the mark, it's 13 for 2.
02:3413 for 2.
02:39Oh, that's slower, but it's in the air, who's getting underneath it, Pathirana wants it, he takes it.
02:45Goes back for 1, it's 14 for 3.
02:50Is it that well, that's 4.
02:57Heading in line this time around, easy pickings for Shubman Gill.
03:01You can't keep that shot too long, but there's a fielder right there.
03:07Indian skipper, Surya Kumar gone for 8.
03:13In the gap, runs in, excellent effort from Pathirana.
03:18Definitely saves 2, what a spell from Vikram Singh, 4 overs, 1 for 17, India 35 for 4.
03:24That's it, Ramesh Mendis, not the greatest delivery, but it doesn't matter.
03:30Outside the off stump, looks like it held up in the wicket just a bit.
03:34You could hear that nick almost here in the dressing room, Shivam Dube.
03:38He goes for 13 of 14 deliveries.
03:44Down the ground, that's 4.
03:49Lovely hit, off the mark.
03:52Lovely hit, up and over, short extra cover, that's a boundary.
03:59Full toss, into the crowd she goes.
04:09He goes again, hit it well enough, 2 sixers in the over.
04:15That'll be the 50 partnership, it gets through, it'll be 4.
04:22Has to be, and this is easy stomping.
04:25Nicely bowled by Vanidu Hasaranga, slowed it down, and beaten on the air.
04:29Vanidu Hasaranga, finally.
04:31Shubman Gill goes after a well made 39.
04:36That's in the air, here's an opportunity, deep mid wicket, takes it.
04:41Riyan Parag, the batsman dismissed, caught by Mendis, bowled by Hasaranga for 26, India 105 for 7.
04:51It's gone straight, timing was very good.
04:59That's a beautiful shot, connects with it well, and that will run away for the second boundary in the over.
05:07That's a beautiful shot, in the gap, they need a lot more of these to India.
05:13Short ball, this could be all the way, is it? No, it's going to, it will bounce over.
05:18Could have been taken.
05:20In fact, should have been taken at this level, he had the height.
05:24They just palmed it over, unlucky.
05:29Oh, he's picked him up.
05:32He comes back, shows the fight.
05:35Washington goes for 25, India 137 for 8.
05:39Final ball.
05:42They're going to try and get through, if he hits he's out, he does, brilliant fielding.
05:46Great way to finish the inning, Sri Lanka 20 overs of excellence.
05:51And they will keep India down to just 137 for 9.
05:57A rare top order failure for India, just what's that, 48, 50, 58 runs from the top five batsmen.
06:05And you don't see it that often, it was a rejigged top order as well.
06:09The one partnership for the sixth wicket, 54 between Riyan Parag, who I thought just looked at ease at the crease.
06:15Along with Shubman Gill, the vice-captain.
06:18The backbone of this inning is just 137.
06:21And as I just mentioned, the spinners in particular were very good.
06:25As a whole, Sri Lanka fielded well, they were backed up with their hands, taking a lot of good catches.
06:31Tikhshana opening the bowling, we've seen that a lot from him, whether it be the IPL or internationally.
06:37Picking up those three wickets, the best of Sri Lanka's bowlers.
06:41Start off with Khalil Ahmed, the left arm seam bowler.
06:46Here we go, first ball.
06:51Looking for that swing in.
06:57And he keeps bowling like that, he'll need two slips.
07:03Ahmed, but not quite as well as he would have liked, but it's running away.
07:08First boundary, yes it is, beats the fielder.
07:16Got that in the gap, yes it's past the fielder.
07:19That's a top shot, not an easy shot to play on a slow pitch.
07:25In the gap, that's four, no doubt about that.
07:30Now that's an option, that is an option.
07:35There goes the sweep, and there goes the boundary, Kusal Mendis needed it.
07:41Another short delivery, this time in front, oh no.
07:50Thumbs it down the ground, and it will be four.
07:55Oh, what about that, this is brilliant bowling.
07:59The cannonball, or leg cutter, whatever it is, but cut him in half.
08:04They're going for a big appeal, but again the umpire not really interested, they'll have a quick chat.
08:11Oh he's chipped it in the air, you asked for a wicket, here it is, simple catch at long on.
08:17Batum Nisanker, he's thrown it away, he goes for 26.
08:24That is beautifully bowled.
08:26That is beautifully bowled.
08:31Straight down the ground, beautiful shot, one bounce four.
08:37This is called fine, work again, Khalil gives it up, so back to back boundaries.
08:46Edged, no.
08:49Stay behind about 4-5 yards, we'll get some more runs here.
08:57Nicely done by Kusal Pereira, hangs on the back foot, and punches it away nicely, didn't try to hit it hard.
09:07Nicely done again, a late cut this time around from Kusal Pereira, he's playing a brilliant innings here.
09:15That's close, that's close.
09:19Umpire unmoved, he's given it, second time in the series.
09:24Ravi Bishnoi, as soon as he goes for the review, the umpire signalled out, but it's Kusal Mendes who takes the review.
09:31Ball tracking coming up, orientation is out.
09:34Pitching, outside off, impact in line, wickets hitting, give me the on-field umpire, run it in.
09:40Impact in line, wickets hitting, give me the on-field umpire.
09:44Ravi, you can stay with your orientation of out, you're on screen now, we can make your signal.
09:49Kusal Mendes has to walk back after a well-made 43, Sri Lanka lose their second on 1-1-0.
09:59Was dismissed first ball in the previous game, this time gets off the mark, Hasaranga.
10:04Oh, it's gone high, is this the wicket they needed, it's Bishnoi under it.
10:10And he does really well, stunning catch.
10:14Third wicket down, one in though, Hasaranga goes for just three.
10:19Got him with an outside edge, is he? Yes.
10:22Given it and walks straight away.
10:24They'll get rid of the Sri Lankan captain, he's gone without scoring.
10:27Hattrick delivery for Washington Sundar.
10:34Over there.
10:36Anticlimax.
10:45It's gone high, it should be out, should be taken.
10:48Rinku takes the catch, a brilliant bowling change.
10:52And nevertheless, a good knock by Kusal, 46 of 34, Sri Lanka 1-2-1-9 for 5.
10:59Oh, it's going to be close, he's got to get back.
11:03The dive gets in.
11:07It's gone high and into the crowd, is he? No, it's going to be out.
11:11Brilliantly caught.
11:13The four-fielder's out on the leg side, works once again.
11:17Ramesh Mendis, he's gone for three, Sri Lanka 132 for 6.
11:25And gets turned immediately.
11:27Nowhere near the bat.
11:29Oh, what a start by Surya.
11:34Shot, there's a man out there though.
11:36He's going to take the catch and he does.
11:38The skipper picks up his first wicket.
11:41To the pavilion, gone for one, Sri Lanka 132 for 7.
11:47That might be close.
11:49Was it off the pad?
11:51They're going upstairs to take a look.
11:55Okay, freeze it there.
11:57There's a spike, a clear spike when the ball is next to the glove.
11:59Ravi, I recommend you change your position from not out to out.
12:02You can make your decision.
12:04Outstanding review from India.
12:06Six off three now.
12:08Who wants to be a hero?
12:11Goes down the ground.
12:13They have to come back.
12:15They won't.
12:18Goes to the wrong end, does he?
12:20They're going to go upstairs, I'm sure.
12:22Are they?
12:27Goes straight.
12:29They've got to come back for two.
12:31Skies are lit.
12:33He gets home.
12:35That'll end up being a super over.
12:37India have fought brilliantly.
12:40They've given themselves a chance.
12:42The match is tied.
12:44And India get out of jail.
12:46Oh, what are we watching?
12:48Take a deep breath, everyone.
12:50Last 30 deliveries.
12:5229 for 7, Sri Lanka.
12:54And lots of credit should go to the Indian team.
12:56The way they fought, they never gave up.
12:57So confirming the third match of this T20I series
13:00between India and Sri Lanka.
13:02The scores end up level.
13:04137 apiece.
13:06The super over to come.
13:09That'll be a wide to get us started.
13:15He's gone high.
13:17It's gone straight down his throat.
13:19This will be a wicket.
13:21First ball.
13:23Good safe hands in the outfield.
13:25Wouldn't have been an issue.
13:27Well done, Perra.
13:30That's in the slot once more.
13:32It should be out.
13:34It is out.
13:36India have done it.
13:38They have ended the super over quickly.
13:41And only found the field at mid-wicket.
13:44And he was waiting there like a hawk to take it.
13:47And Rinku Singh, he cannot do anything wrong in this game.
13:50Elated Indian team.
13:52And Washington Sundar playing his first game of the series.
13:55Back off a good series up in Zimbabwe.
13:57Can be the hero for India.
14:01Tanu, Yashaswi, Jaiswal.
14:04The two right-handers at the crease.
14:08And as expected, Mahesh Dixana.
14:12With the ball.
14:14Can he defend three runs?
14:19Oh, misfield.
14:21That should run away for four.
14:23And it does.
14:24India somehow have pulled out a miracle.
14:29And they will celebrate with another victory and take the series 3-0.
14:33Sums up the day for Sri Lanka.
14:36A straightforward delivery just to a field.
14:39But I think Asit Fernando at short, fine leg.
14:41Goes through him.
14:43How do they pick themselves up for that ODI series?
14:47Confirming where we stand here in the third.
14:49T20I in Pallakele.
14:51The scores finished 137 apiece after Sri Lanka.
14:56And they're cruising along.
14:59Throughout that chase.
15:01Suryakumar Yadav.
15:03Two for five.
15:05His first two wickets in T20Is.
15:07Rinku Singh, two for three.
15:09His first two wickets.
15:20Across the world.
