    Sri Lanka posted a target of 153 runs which Manish Pandey and Dinesh Karthik watchfully chased down after India had an early collapse.

    Here is the complete match report.

    It didn't take long for Washington Sundar to get the better of Kusal Perera, as the youngster left the Sri Lankan batsman red-faced after knocking down his stumps.

    However, the experienced Tharanga and the in-form Kusal Mendis steadied the ship for the hosts.
