For India Riyan PRaga grabbed three vital wickets to all-out the hosts for 170 runs, 43 short of their target.

Sri Lanka captain Charith Asalanka agrees they lapsed in some areas, “”We were not up to the mark in the powerplay, but in the latter part, we came back pretty strong. Some stage, we thought they might get to 240, but we did well. Little disappointed with the way the middle-order batted, we could have done better.”
