| Rohit Sharma C | 118 | 43 | 12 | 10 | 274.41 |
|
12.4 OUT! ROHIT SHARMA IS GONE! An imperious knock comes to an end. Short ball outside off, Rohit looks to loft it over short third man but finds Akila Dananjaya there who takes a good catch. The Indian skipper then waits as he thinks it's a no ball for height, but the umpire doesn't signal anything. He has to walk back, but he's done his job, to say the least. The Indore crowd has been thoroughly entertained as Rohit Sharma walks back to a loud cheer. Thoroughly deserved. 165/1

| KL Rahul | 89 | 49 | 5 | 8 | 181.63 |
|
18.3 OUT! A rare positive instance in this innings for Sri Lanka. That's a brilliant take from Niroshan Dickwella. Full and wide outside off, Rahul looks to go big down the ground but edges it behind. It's travelling fast, but Dickwella dives superman-like to his right and takes a one-handed stunner. Lovely take, something for the Lankans to smile about. Rahul misses out on a century. Would have been the first instance of two batsmen scoring centuries in the same T20I innings. 243/2

| MS Dhoni Wk | 28 | 21 | 2 | 2 | 133.33 |
|
19.4 OUT! BOWLED 'EM! Thisara is right on the money with that. Full on off, Dhoni in an attempt to slam it out of the park swings across the line but misses. The off stick is knocked over and that's the end of Dhoni's breezy cameo. 255/5
|
|||||
| Hardik Pandya | 10 | 3 | 1 | 1 | 333.33 |
|
19 OUT! No hat-trick for Sadeera! He manages to hold on to his catch on his third attempt in the match. Back of a length around off, Pandya just throws his bat at this. Gets a big top edge towards covers where Sadeera backpedals and takes a good reverse cup catch. One over remains, India need 11. The highest T20I total under threat? Surely! 253/3

| Shreyas Iyer | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | |
|
19.2 OUT! He's gone! Iyer knew that, so the review was probably for namesake. Fuller and slower on the stumps, Iyer misses the shot and is caught flush on the pads. Appeal from Thisara, the umpire raises his finger. It's taken upstairs and replays show that Shreyas is gone. He started walking even before the decision came in, the third umpire actually had to ask the on-field umpire to stop him. Anyway, Iyer is gone and the Lankan captain has this wicket. 254/4

|
4.3 OUT! One wicket down. A length ball on the pads, Dickwella swings it with all his might but perhaps the ball comes slowly off the surface. The timing is totally off and he ends up skewing a simple catch to Hardik Pandya at deep square leg. Possibly the best chance for Sri Lanka would have been Dickwella firing. But... 36/1

| Upul Tharanga | 47 | 29 | 3 | 2 | 162.06 |
|
13.2 OUT! The 109-run stand is broken. Finally an Indian spinner takes a wicket. Full and slow, on middle, Tharanga looks to slog but gets a top edge. The ball goes straight up in the air and Chahal calls for it, taking it cleanly. 145/2
|

| Kusal Perera | 77 | 37 | 4 | 7 | 208.10 |
|
14.2 OUT! Caught. Second wicket in the over. Full and outside off, Kusal comes down the track and looks to go over the top but finds Manish Pandey at long off. Simple catch to end an outstanding innings. At least he offered some fight in this run chase. 156/4
|
|||||
| Thisara Perera C | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | |
|
14.1 OUT! A golden duck for the skipper. Full and outside off, Perera slogs across the line and gets a top edge. Hardik runs across to his right like a panther and catches his prey at the ropes. Then he jokingly mocks Manish Pandey at long off saying that he should have got there instead! 155/3
|
|||||
| Asela Gunaratne | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | |
|
14.5 OUT! Stumped! MS Dhoni is seldom wrong. Full and flat outside off, Gunaratne looks to sweep but misses. In the process, his back foot is dragged out of his crease. Dhoni whips off the bails in a flash and appeals, reckoning he has his man. Replays confirm. Third wicket in the over! 161/5
|
|||||
| Sadeera Samarawickrama | 5 | 2 | 1 | 0 | 250 |
|
15.2 OUT! Stumped off a wide. Chahal floats this wide outside off, Samarawickrama comes down the track and is nowhere near the pitch of the ball. Swings but misses. Dhoni doesn't. 164/7
|
|||||
| Chaturanga de Silva | 1 | 2 | 0 | 0 | 50 |
|
15.1 OUT! Another one goes. Landed on middle, Chaturanga looks to play the reverse sweep but is cramped for room and ends up dragging it onto the stumps. 162/6
|
|||||
| Akila Dananjaya | 5 | 3 | 1 | 0 | 166.66 |
|
15.5 OUT! Fourth wicket for Chahal. Can he get a fifer? The googly outside off, Dananjaya looks to go over the top but only succeeds in finding Manish Pandey at long on. 170/8
|

| Dushmantha Chameera | 3 | 5 | 0 | 0 | 60 |
|
17.2 OUT! That is the end of the game. India win the match and the series. Sri Lanka fall 88 runs short. Hardik bowls an off cutter, around off, Chameera looks to turn it to the leg side but misses and the ball knocks the leg stump out of the ground. 2-0 to India. One more match left for Sri Lanka to end their misery. 172/9
