Yashasvi was the next to be dismissed in the 38th over as the Indian scorecard read 180-2. Padikkal followed 14 runs later. However, captain PrabhSimran Singh and Ayush Badoni remained unbeaten on 65 and 52 runs respectively as India gave their opponents a stiff target to chase.
In reply, Sri Lanka were off to a disastrous start and kept losing wickets at regular intervals, thanks to left-arm spinner Harsh Tyagi's 6-38. Sri Lanka never looked in control. Apart from Nishan Madushka (49) and Navod Paranavithana (48), all other batsmen failed to put up a good show against a lethal Indian bowling attack. Sri Lanka could only manage to reach 160 runs as the entire team collapsed like a pack of cards, facing only 39 overs.
