IND vs SL 3rd T20I Live Updates: Match Summary

 

India have pocketed yet another bilateral series against Sri Lanka. The visitors, after two very promising performances, came to Rajkot with an aim to get over the last hurdle and wrestle their first bilateral series from India in India but were stopped by the run machine Suryakumar Yadav. 

 

Surya reached his third T20I century and became the first non-opener to do so as he hit 112* off just 51 balls to guide India to 228/5 in 20 overs. This was after Hardik Pandya won the toss and decided to bat first. 

 

Sri Lanka started the chase rapidly, reaching 44 without loss in the first four overs. But with the loss of Kusal Mendis as the first wicket, the foundation started to come off very quickly and the entire team folded for 137 in the 17th over, remaining 91 runs behind the Indian total.
