Birthday boy Wanindu Hasaranga is emerging to be a top class match winner as he claimed career best figures of four for nine on his 24th birthday to help Sri Lanka reduce India to 81 for eight in the third and final T-20 International at RPS yesterday.
It was India’s lowest total against Sri Lanka and their third lowest total in T-20 cricket.
It was a day where Sri Lanka did not do much wrong with fielders backing up the bowlers with some outstanding catching.
India needed captain Shikhar Dhawan to score big with half their regulars, close contacts of Krunal Pandya who tested for COVID, in isolation. However, Dhawan departed in the first over and India never recovered from thereon.

Wanindu Hasaranga s four-wicket haul and Dhananjaya de Silva s unbeaten 23-run knock helped Sri Lanka defeat India by seven wickets in the third and final T20I. With this win, Sri Lanka won the series 2-1.
