Sri Lanka will bat first. Kusal Perera and Kusal Mendis have come out. Washington Sundar to bowl.

Sri Lanka only scores two runs in the super over. India needs three to win. 

Suryakumar Yadav will bowl the last over. Over-rate penalty also so only four fielders outside the circle. First ball, dot. OUT! Kamindu reverse sweeps is caught at deep square.!! Sri Lanka, what is happening? Maheesh Theekshana is here. Tries to sweep, misses, and Samson appeals. Umpire says not out but India reviews. OUT! He has gloved it. Sri Lanka loses another. Asitha Fernando defends and takes a quick single. 

5 off 2 balls. 

Chamindu hits straight and the batters run a double. Chaotic running but somehow both have reached. SKY didn’t see the bowler’s end batter was not there. Could’ve got him run out, instead twoards keeper. 

CHamindu hits straight and takes a doube! Scores tie. SUPER OVER! 

Absolute chaos in the last three overs by Sri Lankan batters. Indians have somehow taken this game further. 

Rinku Singh into the attack.... OUT! Perera is gone. Golden arm Rinku! Tries to slog but skies it and Rinku takes the catch off his own. 

Kamindu Mendis. Takes a single. Ramesh reverse sweeps, doesn’t connect well but gets a double. OUT! Rinku strikes again. Ramesh is caught at deep midwicket in an attempt to hit a maximum. 

Khaleel is back. Single off the first ball. Too wide outside off. Another wide, off cutter but way outside off. Runs keep coming for Sri Lanka. Khaleel has been off his lengths in this over. Too many wides this over. Five wides this over! 

Sundar. Hasaranga goes for a slog sweep and skies it. Bishnoi runs and takes a terrific diving catch. India has struck again! Is there a twist in the tale? Can India win from here? 

Captain Asalanka is here. OUT! First ball duck. Sharply turned away and Asalanka gets an outside edge to keeper. 

Sundar is on a hat-trick. Ramesh Mendis defends. Suddenly Sri Lanka is in a spot of bother. 

Siraj is back into the attack. Oh they give the ball to Bishnoi later. Spin is the way to go on this pitch, India thinks. OUT! It has worked! Mendis is given out LBW. He attempts a sweep, misses and the ball hits him straight. He has reviewed though. Three reds and Mendis falls.

Hasaranga is in at number four. Seven runs and a wicket in that over. 

Sundar for his third. India needs to cut down the strike rotation. Has been easy for Sri Lankan batters so far. Perera opens the face of the bat and finds a boundary in the deep third region. 

Parag to bowl out now. Perera has attempted a lot of sweeps, hasn’t connected a lot of them. Sri Lankans are getting easy singles. FOUR! Perera smacks a half-tracker past extra cover. A double to end the over. 

Washington Sundar for his second. Down the leg, Perera gets a fine edge and it goes for four! Six runs in that over. 

Parag continues. Singles are coming rather easily, it’s only when the batters try for big shots. Inside edge and the ball races towards boundary. Terrific effort by the Siraj to cut a run down there. 

Bishnoi continues. 13 balls since last boundary. India cutting down the runs. Spinners are crucial here but Sri Lanka has wickets in hand. Perara smacks a four! Hits the ball straight. Down the leg and Perara gets back-to-back boundaries! 

Parag continues. Not an easy wicket to bat on, Sri Lankans are realising it now with spinners on. Gripping and turning. LBW appeal against Perara, umpire says not out. Parag tries to convince Surya but fails.

Kusal Perara in at three. Eight runs and a wicket in that over. 

Riyan Parag into the attack. Nissanka smacks the ball straight and gets a boundary! Leg spinner by Parag, squares up Nissanka. And again! Similar ball and Nissanka is beaten again. 

Ravi Bishnoi into the attack. Mendis hits back-to-back boundaries! One was a powerful hit towards midwicket, the other one was helped by a slight misfield in the deep. 

Siraj again. Terrific fielding in the deep by Jaiswal cuts it down to just two. India’s fielding has been superb today. JAFFA! Mendis is squared up. Ball just goes past the outside edge. DROPPED! Sanju Samson drops a regular catch. Squares up Mendis but Samson isn’t able to grab it. 

Washington Sundar into the attack. Mendis takes a single off the first ball. Nissanka takes out the reverse sweep and gets a four! Terrific shot. Was in full control of it. Seven off the over. 

Siraj again. Mendis cuts past point but a good fielding in the deep cuts it down to just two. Five runs off that Siraj’s over. 

Khaleel continues. FOUR! Half-tracker and Nissanka pulls it towards midwicket for four! Another four. Just pushes the ball past mid on. Another four to end the over! Slaps past backward point. 

Mohammed Siraj from the other end. Squares up Nissanka on the first ball! Angled in and moves away from the right hander. Away movement for Siraj. This is going to be an interesting contest: Siraj vs SL batters. Nissanka takes a single off the fourth ball. Two singles from the over. 

Khaleel Ahmed to begin proceedings. Pathum Nissanka is off the mark with a single off the third ball. Not much movement right now. Good line and length though by Khaleel. Just two runs from the over.

Siraj is beaten on the final ball. The batters attempt a run but the keeper throws the ball directly towards the stumps at the bowler’s end and hits. Run out on the final ball. 

Ramesh Mendis is back. Sri Lanka is attacking with spin here. Pathirana wasn’t on the field for majority of the overs after injuring his shoulder while fielding. He hasn’t bowled yet. Sundar reverse sweeps and it goes for four! Important runs for India. India attempts a quick single and Bishnoi is JUST in. Good throw by the fielder at cover. 

Theekshana is back. Indians are making sure not to lose out on singles. Keeping the scoreboard ticking. Four runs from the over. 

Kamindu. Sundar gets a boundary! Full toss and he pushes it straight for four. Bishnoi goes inside out towards extra cover. The ball bounces just before the fielder in the deep. Bishnoi takes out the reverse sweep and gets a four! Terrific timing. 

Hasaranga again. Gill wants to paddle sweep but doesn’t time the ball. OUT! Gill charges down the track and ball spins away. He was nowhere near the ball. Stumped! Well played though on a tricky surface. 

Shubman Gill st Kusal Mendis b Hasaranga 39(37).

Washington Sundar at crease now. He’s off the mark with a double. Pushes the ball towards cover. OUT! Parag is gone too. Short ball and he rightly goes for a slog but is caught at the deep midwicket region. 

Riyan Parag c Ramesh Mendis b Hasaranga 26(18)

Kamindu again. Turning the ball away from the right hander. Making use of the turn on offer. Gill attempts a reverse sweep, gets an inside edge and the ball goes for four. Sri Lankans wanted to review but eventually don’t take it. Fifty partnership between the two.

Hasaranga continues. Gill sweeps, is beaten. A half-hearted appeal is turned down. Sri Lanka is reviewed it! The players aren’t sure but have decided to take a gamble. Impact is outside. Decision stays. Both Gill and Parag haven’t looked in complete control of their shots. Six runs off the over. 

Mendis continues. More than five overs now since the last boundary. Jinxed it! Too full and Parag slams it straight for four! Now Gill swipes the ball towards square leg and gets a double. Fielding has been on top here. 

Wanindu Hasaranga is introduced now. Parag takes a single on the first ball. Singles on the priority list here for the Indians. Pitch has been slow and aiding turn. 

Ramesh Mendis into the attack. 22 balls since last boundary. Sri Lanka has been terrific in the field. OUT! Dube is gone. Sharp turn away from Dube, who tries to cut but gets a faint edge. Good catch by keeper. 

Riyan Parag in at number seven. He’s off the mark with a single. Gill calls for a double. Tricky run and a direct hit by the fielder at bowler’s end. Parag is just in. Not out. 

Asitha continues. Tries bouncer to Dube, who attempts an upper cut but is beaten. Back of the length, Dube makes room and cuts past point. Terrific fielding in the deep once again cuts it down to just two. Wide ball, down the leg. Nine runs from the over. 

Chamindu is going to bowl out. Dube is off the mark with a single off his fourth delivery. Tough conditions, slight movement is still there. Dube opens the face of the bat, good fielding in the deep cuts it down to two runs. The debutant finishes his spell: 1/17. 

Asitha Fernando into the attack. SKY tries to ramp him first but is beaten. SKY and Gill have done well to keep the scoreboard ticking with quick singles. OUT! SKY is gone. Hits his signature ‘Soopla’ shot and but is caught behind square leg. 

Shivam Dube at the crease now. Terrific over once again for Sri Lanka. 

Chamindu for his third over. Gill charges down the track and lofts straight. Doesn’t time it well though but the fielder at mid off isn’t able to reach. On the pads and Gill flicks it towards backward square leg for four. 

Theekshana continues. OUT! Rinku skies one and India has lost third wicket very quickly. Good high catch by Pathirana there. 

Suryakumar Yadav in at five. Gill and SKY - vice captain and captain - have a job on their hands now. Four! SKY flicks past mid on. Eight runs and a wicket in that over. 

Chamindu again. Gill pushes the ball towards mid-on for a single. Samson has played three balls so far and is yet score a run. Early observation: Chamindu is a bit slower through the air. OUT! Samson is gone. Slices and the ball goes straight to deep point. 

Rinku Singh is promoted to number four. Takes a single on the first ball. 

Maheesh Theekshana. Full length and Jaiswal drives past cover for four! Drifting into the left hander and slogs it past mid on this time for another boundary. OUT! Jaiswal is given LBW. Went for a sweep, missed it and it him straight. He has reviewed though. DRS confirms and Jaiswal has walk back to the pavillion. Early breakthrough for Sri Lanka.

Yashasvi Jaiswal and Shubman Gill open the innings. Debutant Chamindu Wickramasinghe to open the bowling.

India - Yashasvi Jaiswal, Shubman Gill, Suryakumar Yadav(c), Sanju Samson(w), Shivam Dube, Riyan Parag, Rinku Singh, Washington Sundar, Ravi Bishnoi, Mohammed Siraj, Khaleel Ahmed

Nearly a minute remaining for the toss. Suryakumar Yadav is out in the middle. Will India make any changes today? Will vice-captain Shubman Gill be back in the playing XI? We’ll know in a minute. 

Sri Lanka wins the toss and opts to bowl. Chamindu Wickramasinghe is making his T20I debut today.

India has made four changes in the playing XI. Hardik, Arshdeep, Axar, and Rishabh Pant are resting. 

Amit Panghal is in action right now in Olympics.

Strong wind blowing across should blow away the concerning clouds but there could be intermittent showers. New pitch. This is drier, the cracks are evident, so it is going to turn. Slower balls are going to be effective. There’s dew, the ball will come back wet and slide. You are certainly wanting to chase. Pitch should hold up. 160-170 is the total you’re looking for. The slower you bowl, the harder it will be for strokeplay. Dew is going to make it very hard to grip the ball, reckons Russel Arnold. 

Toss to take place at 7:40 PM IST. Match to start at 8:00 PM IST. No overs lost, says Pranay. 

Live visuals suggest that the conditions are becoming better to start the match. Players are warming up. Covers are off. 

Looks like it will take some time for all the covers to come off. Then they have to dry the ground, Pranay says. Hopefully toss around 7:15 PM IST. 

The covers are coming off, says Pranay. Hopefully not much delay for the toss. 

Nothing much to update. The entire ground is covered. Definitely a delayed start. 

While it rains in Pallekele, check out what’s happening in Olympics right now.

“It is drizzling now,” says Pranay. Looks like we are in for a delayed toss. Just a few minutes later, he pings: “Proper rain now.”

Dark clouds are hovering around the stadium. Not looking good, reports Pranay Rajiv from Pallekele. 

Clouds are over the Pallekele stadium, no rain though, so far. The whole ground was covered as precautionary measure. 

The ease with which India outplayed the home team in the first two games and clinched the series would have surprised even the newly installed Indian coach unit led by Gautam Gambhir.
