Super Over: India win!

A thrilling game leaves Sri Lanka ruining a missed chance. Nissanka's brilliant maiden T20I century nearly carried them over the line, with a lucky outside edge leaving them needing 3 off the final ball before a Super Over. Arshdeep executed a perfect yorker, conceding just two runs in Super over. India needed only one ball to seal victory.

SKY finished the chase with the first ball he faced, giving India full momentum for the final.
