SL 22-4 (12 ovs); Target to win: 231 | Scorecard


The experienced Mathews has his task cut out. He watchfully defends Umesh before taking one from the last ball to retain strike.

Meanwhile, Bhuvneshwar bowls another tight over with Mathews picking another single.

Umesh has not been able to make an impression so far. He drops one short as Mathews slaps him through the covers for a four.

However, the next ball is full and comes in as Mathews is struck on the pads but the umpire turns down the LBW appeal.

India take the DRS and the decision is overturned with the ball tracker showing it would have hit the leg stump.

What a superb review from the Indian team as Sri Lanka lose their fourth wicket with Mathews dismissed for 12.

The wicket has further boosted India's chances of pushing for victory. Niroshan Dickwella is the last recognised batsman for Sri Lanka and another wicket here and India will be among the tail.
