Meanwhile, Rinku Singh and Suryakumar Yadav’s late bowling efforts, along with Washington Sundar’s impressive performance in the Super Over, helped India defeat Sri Lanka in the third T20I.

Chasing a modest target of 138, the hosts had a strong start with openers Pathum Nissanka and Kusal Mendis forming a 58-run partnership for the first wicket.

Spinner Ravi Bishnoi broke the opening stand in the ninth over. Kusal Perera joined Kusal Mendis and they built another substantial partnership of 52 runs, setting the stage for what seemed like an easy win. However, Bishnoi struck again, removing Mendis (43) in the 16th over.

At that point, Sri Lanka needed 28 runs off 28 balls. But their batting collapsed, reducing them to 132/6 in 19 overs. Rinku Singh took two wickets, including Perera (46), in the penultimate over, which was his first of the match.

In a surprising move, Suryakumar Yadav bowled the final over, needing to defend six runs. Remarkably, he restricted Sri Lanka to 137/8, matching India’s total and sending the match into a Super Over.

In the Super Over, Washington Sundar dismissed both Kusal Perera and Pathum Nissanka, limiting Sri Lanka to 2/2 in 0.3 overs. In reply, Suryakumar hit a boundary off the first ball of Maheesh Theekshana’s Super Over, securing the series for India.
