41.1: Kuldeep Yadav to Kasun Rajitha, OUT! TIMBER! Kuldeep Yadav does the job his captain had asked for and Sri Lanka lose another! Comes from over the wicket and bowls a googly, short and around middle and leg. Kasun Rajitha waits on the back foot and looks to work it across the line. He fails to read the googly and pays the price. The ball spins away and goes past his outside edge. Crashes into the top of off stump and Kuldeep Yadav has his third wicket. India are now a wicket away from a place in the final.

49.1: Maheesh Theekshana to Axar Patel, OUT! CAUGHT! Maheesh Theekshana gets the final wicket and India have been bowled out for 213 runs in the last over! Sri Lanka have bowled out their opponents in the 14th game on a trot as they look to continue their dominance in 50-over cricket! This is bowled on a shorter length and well outside the off stump. Axar Patel charges down the wicket and looks to cross-bat this over the long on boundary. He does not connect this one as well as he would liked and hits this right down the throat of Sadeera Samarawickrama who makes no mistake keeping hold of the ball. India will be really disappointed with their batting effort and this is the first time India have lost all their wickets to spinners in an ODI game. Sri Lanka will be absolutely thrilled with their bowling effort and will be hoping to chase down this target with ease.
