Right then, it's a wrap from the penultimate ODI. Sri Lanka, the home side has comprehensively defeated India by 32 runs and has taken the lead by 1-0 in this 3-match ODI series, which means, they cannot lose the series now. A tremendous comeback by the Lankan Lions when the backs were against the wall. This is their first ODI win against India after a wait of three long years. For India, to save themselves from a series defeat, a win is a must in the last remaining game. They will be going back to the drawing board and analyzing where things went so wrong for them. This India's tour of Sri Lanka has offered nail-biting thrillers. The fans have been treated to sheer entertainment through and through. The final and 3rd ODI is scheduled to be played on August 7, Wednesday and the first ball will be bowled at 2.30 pm IST (9 am GMT). But please do join our pre-match build-up as well. Until then, cheers, and take care.
Charith Asalanka, the skipper of Sri Lanka is up for a chat. On being asked about whether 240 was enough, Asalanka says it was good enough. Says it's good to have Vandersay in the side again and feels it was an unbelievable spell from him. Smiles and says that he is happy to bowl a few overs for his side.
Rohit Sharma, the captain of India says that when you lose a game, everything hurts and you need to play consistent cricket in order to win and they failed to do that today. Adds that you need to adapt to what's in front and keep the left-right combination as it would be easy to rotate but Jeffrey Vandersay bowled well and the opposition was better than them. Mentions that he got 65 runs because of the way he batted and he isn't afraid of taking risks but there is always some disappointment when you get out. Adds that they knew the nature of the surface and how things were going to go, especially in the middle overs and hence, the intent in this first 10 overs has to be there.
Jeffrey Vandersay is adjudged as the PLAYER OF THE MATCH for his match-winning spell of (10-0-33-6). He begins by saying that there was a lot of pressure coming into the side. Tells he was coming off a layoff and had to do something really special. Adds it is easy to take the credit but applaud the batters for playing the way they did and taking them to a good total. Also appreciates Wanindu Hasaranga by saying that he is the number one spinner. Says he had to keep motivating himself and tried to do the basics right. Further mentions that when he got his first wicket, it certainly built his confidence a lot. Ends up thanking God and walks with a broad smile.
The presentation ceremony...
Kamindu Mendis is down for a quick chat. He says that it was a good match and they did really well in all three departments. Adds that the skipper did his job and took excellent decisions. Mentions that he reckoned 210-215 would be a good score but they got 240 and his partnership with Dunith Wellalage was crucial. Adds that chances and half-chances in the field matter a lot which they were able to take and after the T20s, they had good plans which they executed as well.
Earlier in the game, Sri Lanka opted to bat first, despite the R. Premadasa Stadium's average first-innings score being a modest 225. They began cautiously after losing a wicket on the very first delivery. Avishka Fernando and Kusal Perera steadied the ship, building a solid 74-run partnership before both fell in quick succession, forcing Sri Lanka to rebuild once again. However, their middle order crumbled, repeating a familiar pattern after getting decent starts. The decision to include an extra batter down the order proved beneficial, as Wellalage and Kamindu Mendis weathered the storm admirably. Their valuable partnership of 71 for the 7th wicket and 32 for the 8th really saved them. India might be thinking that they conceded too many runs in the last 10 overs - 79 to be precise and couldn't get the tailenders cleaned up quickly.
Sri Lanka, missing their ace spinner Hasaranga, knew early breakthroughs were crucial. Despite the pitch offering grip and turn, they struggled to make inroads initially. Enter Jeffrey Vandersay, filling into Hasaranga's big shoes, who rose to the occasion spectacularly. The leggie turned the match on its head with a gutsy six-wicket haul, single-handedly dismantling and running through India's top and middle order. With momentum slightly slipping again, in comes Charith Asalanka and removes both the well-settled batters in his second spell and it was followed up by Vandersey cleaning up the tail effectively. Sri Lanka played to their skins and were shouldered by some exceptional fielding performances.
With their backs against the wall, India found a hero in Axar Patel, who was thrust into the pivotal number 5 position. The left-hander, partnering with the dependable Washington Sundar, arrested the fall of wickets and navigated the mid-phase adding 38 crucial runs together. The duo struck a fine balance between defense and attack, nudging the score along and keeping the fielding side on their toes. Just as it seemed they had weathered the storm, disaster struck again. Both Axar and Washington fell in quick succession, their dismissals separated by a mere 5 runs. This sudden turn of events breathed new life into the Sri Lankan camp, opening the door for another twist. With 50 odd runs still needed, runs came at a premium against the resurgent Sri Lankan attack. The Sri Lankan bowlers, sensing victory, tightened the screws, making every run a hard-fought affair for the Indian tail-enders.
On a tricky, slow surface, India recognized the importance of a solid platform and delivered just that. Gill and Rohit negotiated the powerplay with a mix of caution and calculated aggression, employing textbook percentage cricket. The skipper Rohit led the charge aggressively, while Gill played the perfect foil, rotating the strike and punishing the loose deliveries. The opening stand of 97 really put India way ahead in the game initially. However, cricket's unpredictable nature soon reared its head as the Men in Blue suffered a dramatic collapse, as the top and the middle order blew away in a flash. India found themselves slipping dramatically from a comfortable 97/1 to a precarious 147/6 in a matter of overs.
SRI LANKA HAVE DONE IT! THEY HAVE HUMBLED THE MEN IN BLUE WITH A TRUE FIGHTING SPIRIT! THEY TAKE THE LEAD BY 1-0. The 'Khettarama' erupts in pride and joy and completely contrasting emotions in the opposite camp. And as they say, it's not over until it's over, Sri Lankan bowlers especially the duo of Jeffrey Vandersay and Charith Asalanka completely decimated the Indian batting line up. The resilience shown by the home side in all three departments was truly commendable. Those handy contributions from Dunith Wellalage and Kamindu Mendis with the bat when the chips were down, helped Sri Lanka to post 240 and then a spirited fightback with the ball. What a game of cricket we have had at our disposal.

Charith Asalanka To Kuldeep Yadav OUT!
OUT! RUN OUT! That's it, Sri Lanka have won and they can't lose the series anymore. A bit of a pre-mature end and India will be gutted to lose the final wicket to a run out. Charith Asalanka bowls it quick and flat around off stump, cutting back in. Kuldeep Yadav stays on the back foot looking to cut but it is close to the body. The ball gets chopped back past the stumps and the keeper. Arshdeep Singh calls for the single but Kamindu Mendis at first slip is quick to get to the ball. He fires in a throw at the keeper's end and Kusal Mendis dislodges the bails. Sri Lanka WIN BY 32 RUNS!

Charith Asalanka To Mohammed Siraj OUT!
OUT! LBW! TRAPPED IN FRONT AND SRI LANKA ARE ALL PUMPED UP AGAIN! Mohammed Siraj is down on his knees, disappointed but eventually goes for a review. Charith Asalanka darts in a fuller-length delivery, and flattens the trajectory. The ball considerably stays low and turns back sharply into the batter from outside off. Mohammed Siraj expecting the ball to bounce goes on the back foot to punch it to the leg side but gets deceived by the lack of bounce and plays it all over the line of the ball, and wears it low on his front pad. UltraEdge shows no bat involved and Ball Tracking confirms three reds. Sri Lanka just a solitary wicket from a tremendous win.

A huge appeal and given! Kuldeep Yadav has reviewed it right away and the TV Umpire is called in for the umpteenth time in this chase. Jeffrey Vandersay dishes out the regular leg break and tosses it up on off and middle stump. The ball dips and turns back in sharply, Kuldeep Yadav tries to offer a front-foot defence but is beaten past the inside edge and gets pinged on the pads. Nothing on UltraEdge but Ball Tracking whos that the ball is turning a bit too much and is going well past the leg stump. NOT OUT and a terrific review from Kuldeep.
Change. Change of ends for Jeffrey Vandersay. He replaces Charith Asalanka.

Charith Asalanka To Washington Sundar OUT!
OUT! LBW! Not sure what the initial appeal from the Lankans was for but Washington Sundar is out LBW and Sri Lanka rejoice. Charith Asalanka angles the ball in on a slightly fuller length and drops it on off stump, Sundar looks to push it off the front foot but is beaten past the inside edge and the ball just flicks the back leg before going into the mitts of the keeper. There is an appeal and eventually, the finger does go up. Sundar refers it and there's no spike on UltraEdge but Ball Tracking comes up with three reds. The Lankan skipper is at it again!
Has he nicked it? Another appeal for LBW and the decision is sent upstairs by Washington Sundar as the umpire raises his finger. Looks pretty straight. Flat line on UltraEdge. Ball Tracker follows, and shows that the impact is in line and it is hitting the leg stump. Washington Sundar will have to depart now. Charith Asalanka has dismissed both the well-settled batters in a quick succession now and Sri Lanka is right in the driver's seat at the moment.

OUT! CAUGHT AND BOWLED! Another excellent catch from the Lankans and the skipper has picked up a huge wicket here. Charith Asalanka keeps coming from around the stumps and angles it in on a length and into middle and leg. Axar Patel goes onto the back foot to flick but the ball holds in the wicket and Axar ends up chipping it back towards the non-striker. Washington Sundar tries to get out of the way and just like that Asalanka is diving across low to his left and manages to take it with both hands. Axar departs after a fine knock.
Did it carry? Axar is in disbelief and waits for the umpire's signal. The replay comes up and confirms that Charith Asalanka has plucked cleanly it right above the pitch. Another shift in momentum with this wicket. How good is this from Sri Lanka! Fighting fire with fire at the moment.

Charith Asalanka To Washington Sundar
Nagging length, just floats it up around off, Sundar goes on the back foot and pushes it away through covers for one.
Drinks! Time for another hydration break. This has been a brave fightback from the last recognized batting pair of India. With Axar Patel taking on the role of punishing the poor deliveries, Washington Sundar has played a perfect second fiddle here. These two have gathered 33 runs together and have prevented any further collapse. Jeffrey Vandersay has been the lone successful bowler for Sri Lanka taking all 6 wickets to his name. With 61 needed off the last 19 overs, Sri Lanka have well and truly put on a strong fight but they are indeed in a desperate search for breakthroughs. A wicket or two will definitely put them more ahead. But as of now, this game is hanging right in balance. Charith Asalanka (1-0-14-0) to continue after the break.

An appeal for LBW, Asitha Fernando is literally pleading in front of the umpire but he is unfazed. They do go upstairs to review it. Asitha Fernando pitches it on the middle and off channel, and slightly nips back in after pitching. Axar Patel is rooted in the crease and tries to guide it away but plays over the line of the ball and it passes closer to the bat before rapping on his back pad. UltraEdge shows there's a spike as the ball goes through the inside edge. Not Out and the on-field decision stays. Sri Lanka burn a review here.

Jeffrey Vandersay bowls it flat and quick, keeps the length fuller and around off, KL Rahul doesn't quite get his front foot out and tries to play the drive away from his body. Hence, he loses his shape and swings the bat weirdly. Inside edges, and the ball rattles the furniture in a jiffy. Sri Lanka is in total control of the game. Jeffrey Vandersay gets his 6th wicket.

OUT! LBW! A big appeal for LBW but 'No' says the umpire. Jeffrey Vandersay is very excited and they do go upstairs. Jeffrey Vandersay dishes out the conventional leg spinner on the fuller length. It straightens up instead of turning away. Shreyas Iyer is drawn forward as he anticipates the ball to turn and plays over the line of the ball and wears it on the pads. UltraEdge shows no bat involved and the Ball Tracker comes up with three reds. The on-field decision is overturned and Shreyas Iyer will have to depart here. Jeffrey Vandersay has snagged the first 5-fer of his ODI career. Remember, he is filling in the big shoes of Hasaranga. What a spectacular fightback this has been from Sri Lanka! India are still 108 runs away but they have now lost half of the side.

Nagging length, bowled flatter and outside off, Kohli rocks back to defend.
Drinks! Well, India has looked well and truly in command here so far. Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill, both have provided a strong foundation into the chase. Rohit scored a fantastic quickfire 62 before perishing. Also, with dew settling in now, the tweakers are finding it a bit tricky to grip the ball. However, Jeffrey Vandersay in particular, has looked impressive as he is filling up the big shoes of Hasaranga. Sri Lanka need wickets in quick succession to break the momentum. Whereas, India will aim to compound on the start they have got with Kohli and Gill in the middle. It would be interesting to see how both sides negotiate the next phase of play.

Akila Dananjaya To Virat Kohli
A huge appeal and given! That turned prodigiously and Virat Kohli has reviewed the decision. Akila Dananjaya bowls it quicker through the air, outside off stump on a nagging length and gives it a real rip. The ball pitches and turns square as Kohli gets pegged onto the back foot and plays all over the ball. Kohli gets pinged on the pads and right in front of the stumps and the finger goes up. The third umpire is called in and UltraEdge shows that there was a thin inside edge and the onfield decision will be reversed. NOT OUT! There is a bit of a hold up as on the replays, there seems to be a very slight gap between bat and ball when the spike is found on UltraEdge but the decision will remain Not Out. Could be a massive moment in the game this.

OUT! CAUGHT! Rohit Sharma did seem in a bit of a hurry and didn't hold on for much longer but a fine knock nonetheless from the Indian skipper. Jeffrey Vandersay provides the much-needed breakthrough for Sri Lanka and that is a top catch from Pathum Nissanka as well. This is bowled full and straight, Rohit goes for the big reverse sweep, almost a slog and ends up losing his balance. The ball gets lobbed off the top edge wide of backward point but Nissanka covers great ground and dives to his right to grab it.
