SL 76-3 (21 ovs) vs India | Scorecard

Nissanka takes the chance as he lofts Kuldeep over the fielder at mid-off for a boundary and then picks a single off the third ball.

Kuldeep gets some sharp away turn as he beats left-hander Asalanka on the outside edge and he takes a single from the last ball.

Sri Lanka are 68/3 in 20 overs, with Nissanka on 38 and Asalanka on two.

Off-spinner Washington Sundar replaces Axar, who bowled a fantastic first spell of 1/13 in six overs.

He gets the first ball to turn away to beat Asalanka, who tries to drive before he mistimes the sweep shot to midwicket.

Asalanka plays the late cut, guiding the third ball past the slip fielder for a four.

He then top edges the sweep shot which goes over the wicketkeeper for another boundary.

Asalanka offers no shot as the ball goes straight on and strikes his pads. The LBW appeal is turned down as India decide against the review.

Lot of turn and bounce for Sundar to beat Asalanka all ends up.
