Sri Lanka made an excellent recovery in the death overs to reach a par score of 275 for 9 in 50 overs after electing to bat first. Charith Asalanka and Chamika Karunaratne's lower-order cameos shifted the momentum in Lanka's way in the final 6 overs. Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Yuzvendra Chahal chipped in with 3 wickets each for India while Deepak Chahar grabbed a couple at the R Premadasa stadium in Colombo.
