Kuldeep Yadav was the star of the show as India defeated Sri Lanka by 41 runs in a low-scoring thriller at R Premadasa Stadium, Colombo on Tuesday. Sri Lanka's youngster Dunith Wellalage too showed brilliant all-round skills but failed to take his team over the line. Defending a total of 213 runs, India bundled out Sri Lanka for 172 despite Wellalage's gritty 42 not out. With the win on Tuesday, India booked a spot for themselves in the final of the tournament.
Wellalage and Charith Asalanka helped the hosts bundle India out for a below-par total on the spin-friendly wicket in Colombo. Wellalage returned with a five-wicket haul (5 for 40) while Asalanka picked 4 for 18.
Rohit Sharma with a 53-run knock was the highest scorer for the Indian side after he won the toss and opted to bat first.
