Sri Lanka ended up as they bowled out for a paltry 82. Sri Lanka has given a target of 82, the bowling of the indian bowlers was superb. Dhawan hit a six and a four off consecutive deliveries in the 14th over off Gunaratne as India secured a nine-wicket win with 37 deliveries to spare. This was their largest victory in terms of wickets in hand and deliveries to spare, and the 2-1 series result helped the MS Dhoni-led side retain their No. 1 ranking. Dhawan and Rahane did not attempt anything fanchy as they went about in a steady manner to keep India on track in the chase. India went past the 50-run mark in the eighth over.

India level the series with a 69-run win. The batsmen set up the game beautifully by posting 196 before the spinners used to conditions perfectly to script the win. Sri Lanka wobbled early on by losing four wickets quickly and then were out of the game pretty soon as the run rate kept rising. Dhawan starred with the bat and scored his maiden T20I half-century before being dismissed for 51. Pandya was sent in ahead of Dhoni and Yuvraj and did well to help India surge ahead with a 12-ball 27. Raina played his part with a 19-ball 30.

• Sri Lanka 183 & 367; India 375 & 112. Sri Lanka win by 63 runs
• Rangana Herath takes seven wickets in famous Galle triumph
Rangana Herath picked up seven wickets in a sublime display of
left-arm spin bowling to power Sri Lanka to a spectacular comeback win
by 63 runs against India on the fourth day of the opening Test at Galle
on Saturday.
Trailing for most of the match after being all out on the opening day
for 183, the hosts scythed through the Indian order with 37-year-old
Herath adding six wickets to his overnight dismissal of opening batsman
Lokesh Rahul for his 22nd five-wicket haul in Tests.
Off-spinner Tharindu Kaushal, who took five wickets in the first innings, provided superb support by picking up three more in the second innings as India, who resumed the day on 23 for one, were shot out for 112 an hour after lunch. Ajinkya Rahane (36) was the only Indian batsman to provide some resistance but he too fell to Herath, edging the wily spinner to home captain Angelo Mathews at slip.
Sri Lanka looked dead and buried on 95 for five on Friday after conceding a first-innings lead of 192, but Dinesh Chandimal’s swashbuckling unbeaten 162 allowed them to stage a fightback and set India a victory target of 176.
The hosts, who lost their last Test series at home to Pakistan, put immense pressure on India with tight bowling and some smart catches. India failed to find scoring opportunities, with first-innings centurion Shikhar Dhawan, unbeaten on 13 overninght, taking 36 balls to score his first run in the morning. That came from a streaky four with the ball narrowly missing the leg stump after taking an edge.
Herath, who has been off form lately and went wicketless in the first innings, struck with his first ball of the day, sending nightwatchman Ishant Sharma out leg before. He also accounted for the wickets of Rohit Sharma, wicketkeeper Wriddhiman Saha, Harbhajan Singh and Ravichandran Ashwin, while Kaushal picked up India captain Virat Kohli and then took a sharp return catch to send back Dhawan.
Amit Mishra was the final man out to Kaushal, sparking wild celebrations by the Sri Lankans. The second Test, the last for retiring Sri Lankan batting stalwart Kumar Sangakkara, will start on Thursday in Colombo.
“What an absolute turnaround it was,” said Mathews at the presentation ceremony. “I thought Chandimal was outstanding. He single-handedly got us a fighting score. We were down and out for past three and half days and we had to give it our best shot.”
Kohli admitted his team had no one to blame but themselves. “We failed to capitalise on taking the first five wickets [in the second innings],” he said. “We should have finished the game off in that particular session. One bad session and things can turn around totally. Big, big credit to Rangana the way he bowled today. I think he’s a world-class bowler.”
