IND Vs SL, 3rd T20I Highlights: India Beat Sri Lanka In Super Over After Suryakumar Yadav Magic; Complete Series Sweep

The whole ground was covered under big sheets before the toss time and is still drizzling. So, a delay in the toss is expected. (Scorecard | Streaming)

The rain has stopped and the covers have been removed. The toss is delayed for now. New timings for the toss and start of the game will be announced soon.

India: Yashasvi Jaiswal, Sanju Samson, Suryakumar Yadav(c), Rishabh Pant(w), Hardik Pandya, Riyan Parag, Rinku Singh, Axar Patel, Arshdeep Singh, Ravi Bishnoi, Mohammed Siraj, Washington Sundar, Khaleel Ahmed, Shivam Dube, Shubman Gill

The toss will happen at 7:40 pm IST and the match will start at 8 pm IST. No overs will be lost.

England's white-ball coach, Matthew Mott, resigned on Tuesday, leaving assistant Marcus Trescothick in charge while the search for a permanent replacement begins.

The pitch for today's match is new and drier. There are some visible cracks so expect some turn. Slower deliveries are going to work on this surface. There will be dew and captains are going to bowl first for sure. 170 should be a good total on this pitch.

Suryakumar Yadav hit the winning boundary on the first delivery of the super over to win the match. India pulled out a miracle here to clean sweep the series.

India continued their dominance at the Pallekele and won their ninth match at that venue. India have been unbeaten at that venue and the record stays.

(Super Over) All the work I did, and blessings from God helped me. I wanted to try and stay calm. Very grateful to SKY for throwing the ball to me. Very grateful to get this opportunity. I just need to do what I am supposed to do. We did a bit of homework against their batters. I had to hit the right lengths.

I am really disappointed about our batting line-up, middle-order and lower middle-order. Very bad shot selection was the reason. Spinners were bowling that's why Hasaranga came up the order. He had the license to hit one or two boundaries, that didn't happen. Wrong shot selection on this pitch. Definitely (it was gettable), we need to do more as professional cricketers. I want to see good batting performances in the ODIs. Our top three and four have done well and that's the only positive for us.

More than the last over, I feel when we were around 30/4, how the boys showed character, 140 was a par score on that track. I told, if we put our heart in, we could pull it off. The amount of skill they have, self confidence, it makes my job easy. The positivity, the care for each other is unbelievable. After the last game, I told few boys will be rested and they were ready to sit out. They have made my job easy. I have little pressure when I bat. Like I said before the series, I don't want to be the captain, I want to be the leader.

A thrilling finish to a three-match T20I series as India clean swept the series with 3-0. Suryakumar Yadav is the Player of the Series and Washington Sundar was chosen the Player of the Match for his fantastic performance. That's all from our side. We will join you for the ODIs starting on 2nd August. Until then, goodbye and goodnight!
