Inn Break
We are back for the Super Over, folks! Kusal Perera and Kusal Mendis walk out to bat for Sri Lanka. And it will be Washington Sundar to bowl those crucial 6 deliveries for India.
WOULD YOU BELIEVE IT? THE MATCH HAS BEEN TIED AND A SUPER OVER WILL FOLLOW NOW. Sri Lanka will be absolutely gutted as around the 15th over, they were sitting right in the driver's seat. They needed 9 off the last 12 balls but they just couldn't cross the line in the end. But again, their middle order fell like a house of cards for the third straight time in the same series. And of course, India fought bravely, until the last drop of blood. And what a spectacular debut series is Suryakumar Yadav having as the skipper! Strengthening the saying that cricket is a funny old game, full of uncertainties.

Suryakumar Yadav To Chamindu Wickramasinghe
SUPER OVER TIME! Not the best of throws from the deep and Maheesh Theekshana makes it in! More drama! SKY bowls it fuller and quicker, on off, Chamindu Wickramasinghe cross bats this one to the right of long on along the ground. The batters have to cross for the second and the throw from long on skids off the turf and SKY fails to collect it. Theekshana with a dive is in and thankfully for India, the throw is backed up, keeping it down to two to take the game to a Super Over.
1 ball remaining, 3 runs to win for Sri Lanka. Are we in for a super over? The way this game has twisted and turned, anything is a possibility now. All three results are possible at this point.

Suryakumar Yadav To Chamindu Wickramasinghe
Oh, what happened there? SKY pushes it through, full and on middle, Chamindu Wickramasinghe slaps it down to the left of long off and the batters decide to take the second run. The throw comes in from the deep and Maheesh Theekshana is nowhere in the frame at the bowling end. SKY collects it over his head and can affect an easy run out at the bowling end but he is not aware of the situation and fires it to the batting end where Chamindu Wickramasinghe is in by then.

Suryakumar Yadav To Asitha Fernando
Tap and run! Asitha Fernando brings Chamindu Wickramasinghe on strike. Speared in, short and on middle, Asitha Fernando drops it with soft hands on the leg side and scampers across for one.
Who walks in next? Asitha Fernando is in at number 10. Sri Lanka need 6 off the last 3 deliveries now.

Suryakumar Yadav To Maheesh Theekshana OUT!
OUT CAUGHT BEHIND! Strangled down leg and this is a sharp catch by Sanju Samson! Two in two for Suryakumar Yadav as Sri Lanka continues to wilt under pressure. They have now lost their last 7 wickets for 26 runs. Fired in down leg by SKY, flat and short, Maheesh Theekshana goes for the sweep to get it behind square on the leg side but misses. There is a noise as Sanju Samson takes it to his left. The umpire is unmoved and India take the review. The UltraEdge shows that there is glove involved. What a time to get it right! 6 needed off 3 now.
Is it off the pad, or off the bat? The decision for caught behind is sent upstairs now. A slight murmur when the ball passes off the glove and Theekshana is a goner. OUT!
Sri Lanka are imploding and collapsing, yet again! The Sri Lankan head coach Sanath Jayasuriya is sitting with a blank look on his face as he too, cannot believe what's happening. Maheesh Theekshana is the new batter in at number 9.

Suryakumar Yadav To Kamindu Mendis OUT!
OUT! STRAIGHT TO THE FIELDER! Would you believe it? Kamindu Mendis could not have picked out the man in the deep any better. Suryakumar Yadav has a sheepish look on his face as it was there for Mendis to put away. A rank long hop by Suryakumar Yadav, on off, Kamindu Mendis brings out the reverse sweep but gets this one low on the bat. Spoons a simple catch to deep backward point where Rinku Singh takes an easy catch. Sri Lanka under pressure. 6 needed off 4 now.

Suryakumar Yadav To Kamindu Mendis
Suryakumar Yadav starts the over well! SKY drops it short and gets it to spin away, short and on off, Kamindu Mendis gives himself too much room to go through the off side and fails to get any bat on it as the ball spins away.
Phew! This is going down to the wire now! Another gamble that has done wonders for India. Sri Lanka need 6 from the last over. Chamindu Wickramasinghe is the new batter in at number 8. Also, India has been penalised for not starting the final over on time. A maximum of 4 fielders are allowed outside the 30-yard circle. Initially it was Siraj to bowl the last, but just when we thought we are out of surprises, in comes Suryakumar Yadav himself to bowl the final over.

Rinku Singh To Ramesh Mendis OUT!
OUT! IN THE AIR AND GONE! More drama! Ramesh Mendis goes for the glory shot but it does not come off for him. Two in the over for Rinku Singh. India have somehow managed to take the game to the last over with Sri Lanka requiring 6 runs from 6 balls. Rinku drops it short and on middle, there to be put away. Ramesh Mendis goes on the back foot to pull it over deep mid-wicket. Connects well but it is enough to clear the man in the deep. Shubman Gill runs to his left near the fence and balances himself well to take the catch.

Rinku Singh To Kusal Perera OUT!
OUT! CAUGHT AND BOWLED! Suryakumar Yadav with that smile on his face. Rinku Singh bowls it quicker and flattens his trajectory this time around. Lands it short and drifts it on the leg stump line. Kusal Perera gets over-ambitious to take on the part-timer and goes for a pull shot but he ends up top-edging it over the mid on region. Rinku Singh moves to his left and settles underneath it, takes a safe catch. Kusal Perera perishes it on 46 (34).

Rinku Singh To Kusal Perera
Darted in from around the wicket, full and angling in, Kusal Perera switches his stance for the reverse but misses and wears it on the front pad.
Who will bowl the penultimate over? Suryakumar Yadav with a gamble again. Rinku Singh will bowl the penultimate over with Sri Lanka needing 9 runs off the last 12 balls remaining. It was Riyan Parag in the 1st T20I who snagged a 3-fer and rocked the opposition. Can Rinku Singh do the same? Let's find out...

Washington Sundar To Ramesh Mendis
No hat-trick for Sundar! Drifting across, full and on off, Ramesh Mendis plays it off the front foot back to the bowler.
DRAMA AT PALLEKELE! Sri Lanka's middle order woes seem to be biting them yet again. Who walks in next to bat? It was first meant to be Kamindu Mendis, but the Lankan coach Sanath Jayasuriya stood up and asked Ramesh Mendis to go out instead. He will face the Hat Trick ball.

Sundar comes from around the wicket and gets the ball to drift in, full and on of, Charith Asalanka looks to play the line of the ball but plays inside the line of the ball. The ball straightens just enough to catch the outside edge and Sanju Samson makes no mistake this time. From 110/1, Sri Lanka are now 117/4, needing 21 runs from 20 balls.
Who walks in next? Charith Asalanka is in at number 5.

OUT! IN THE AIR AND TAKEN! Expertly held by Ravi Bishnoi! Wanindu Hasaranga holes out! Sundar dangles the carrot as he slows it up and offers flight, full and on middle, Wanindu Hasaranga falls for the trap as he gets down for the slog sweep. Gets more height than distance as it goes towards deep square leg. The ball swirls away a bit in the air but Ravi Bishnoi has his eyes on the ball all the way through. Adjusts well to the ball drifting away a bit from him and dives to his left to grab it. Sri Lanka are 117/3, needing 21 from 21.

Ravi Bishnoi To Kusal Mendis OUT!
A big, big shout for LBW and the finger goes up after an eternity! Kusal Mendis takes the review but this looks like a review more in hope than anything else. Bishnoi bowls it slower through the air but the length is short, there to be pulled away. Kusal Mendis goes deep in the crease for the pull but the ball comes onto him even slower. He fails to connect and the ball hits him on the crouched back leg. There is nothing on UltraEdge and it is three reds on Ball Tracking. Mendis falls for 43 (41). Is there still life left in this game?

Ravi Bishnoi To Kusal Mendis
At 94 kph, full by Bishnoi, Kusal Mendis reaches out in front and fetches the sweep from outside off. Hits it along the ground to the left of deep mid-wicket for a brace.

Ravi Bishnoi To Pathum Nissanka OUT!
OUT! IN THE AIR AND GONE! A soft dismissal! Ravi Bishnoi provides India a much-needed breakthrough! Bishnoi floats it up, outside off. Pathum Nissanka is tempted in the flight as he looks to hit this wide of long on. A tough choice of shot as he has to fetch this one from outside off. Nissanka does not commit to the shot and just chips it towards long on where Riyan Parag runs to his right and takes it. Sri Lanka lose their first wicket at the score of 58, requiring 80 runs in 67 balls.

Ravi Bishnoi To Pathum Nissanka
An optimistic shout for LBW but the umpire is unmoved! Ravi Bishnoi, Sanju Samson and Suryakumar Yadav have a confab and in the end, India do not take the review. Bishnoi slips the googly, on a nagging length, on middle and leg, Pathum Nissanka plays all around it and gets beaten on the inside edge. Wears it on the front pad but the ball is easily going down leg.

Riyan Parag To Kusal Mendis
Starts off short and on middle, Kusal Mendis whips it to wide long on for a single.
Will India employ spin from both ends now? Yup, it's not Sundar, but Riyan Parag has been introduced into the attack now. He replaces Siraj. Maybe Sundar hasn't been called in yet considering the Sri Lankan left-handers who are yet to come.

The ball hits him on the palm and pops out as he dives to his right. Samson isn't having a great time in this series. Two ducks and now a dropped catch. Remember the score - MENDIS DROPPED ON 12.
