Sri Lanka A vs India A, Final, Tri Nation A Series in Sri Lanka 2026 - HighlightsSLA vs INDA, Final, Tri Nation A Series in Sri Lanka 2026 - Highlights

Kugathas Mathulan to Anukul Roy, out Lbw!! Mathulan has something to cheer. He has been taken to the cleaners today. Full and angled in, Anukul stays deep in the crease and misses the heave to the leg-side, struck on the back pad and the impact was in-line with the stumps. Easy decision for the umpire. Anukul Roy lbw b Kugathas Mathulan 39(15) [4s-1 6s-4]

Kugathas Mathulan to Anukul Roy, SIX, Anukul is playing a blinder. Getting India all the momentum they had lost in the last few overs. This is another slot delivery and Anukul goes down the ground. Nice, clean swing of the bat and the ball travels the distance

Kugathas Mathulan to Anukul Roy, SIX, second six in the over. This is the slower ball but once again right in the hitting arc, Anukul maintains a solid base and launches it over long-on

Kugathas Mathulan to Anukul Roy, SIX, lovely shot! Mathulan misses his mark, feeds it right in the slot and Anukul does not miss out, he lofts it handsomely and sends it all the way over deep extra cover

Dulaj Samuditha to Anukul Roy, SIX, this is even better. Anukul is playing a nice little cameo. Full delivery, right in the slot and Anukul does not miss out, he pumps it down the ground and sends it sailing over long-on

Dulaj Samuditha to Anukul Roy, FOUR, slower ball down leg, Anukul helps it along the way and beats short fine comfortably

Dulaj Samuditha to Anukul Roy, 4 runs, there's a collision between two fielders. Both of them are down. This does not look good. Sahan Arachchige and Wanuja Sahan are the two fielders. Fullish delivery around off, Anukul miscues the lofted drive and the ball goes straight up. One came in from long-off and the other ran back from extra cover. Not sure whether there was a call for the catch, but kept going and collided into each other. Wanuja is the one who has come off worse. They had brought a stretcher but Wanuja is on his feet and is walking off with the physio. Sadeera says something that brings a smile on Wanuja's face - that is a good sign. Arachchige ran back from extra cover and held onto the catch, but the collision made the ball pop out of his hand and it goes to ground

Kugathas Mathulan to Vipraj Nigam, out Caught by Mohamed Shiraz!! India continue to lose wickets. Once again they have lost wickets in back to back overs - third time in this innings. Fullish delivery around off, Nigam stays leg-side and tries to loft it over extra cover. He hits it much straighter than he would have liked and Shiraz moves to his left from long-off and takes a good catch. Vipraj Nigam c Mohamed Shiraz b Kugathas Mathulan 27(20) [4s-2 6s-1]

Wanuja Sahan to Nishant Sindhu, out Caught by Ravindu Fernando!! Sindhu perishes looking for the big hit. Good catch by Fernando. This was bit too full in length and that's the reason Sindhu could not get under it, no timing or elevation, strikes it flat towards long-on and Fernando comes in, bends down and takes it low to the ground. Nishant Sindhu c Ravindu Fernando b Wanuja Sahan 16(18) [4s-1]

Ravindu Fernando to Vipraj Nigam, SIX, Nigam is getting the boundaries for India. He dances down the wicket, gets to the pitch of the ball and lofts it over wide long-on

V Viyaskanth to Vipraj Nigam, FOUR, back to back fours. This is neatly done. Flatter and quicker, Nigam waits and plays it late, opens the bat face and guides it to third man. He used the pace on the ball and collected the boundary

V Viyaskanth to Vipraj Nigam, FOUR, short and around off, Nigam stays leg-side and carves the cut behind square. No chance for the sweeper

Ravindu Fernando to Vipraj Nigam, 1 run, tossed up close to off, Nigam lofts it to long-off

Ravindu Fernando to Nishant Sindhu, FOUR, much needed boundary for India. They need a move on and also be careful of not losing a wicket. This is dragged short and Sindhu latches on, transfers his weight back and pulls it in front of square, splitting deep mid-wicket and long-on perfectly

Ravindu Fernando to Suryansh Shedge, out Bowled!! Second batter to be dimissed in this fashion today after Gaikwad. India are losing their way. They are six down and still 8.3 overs left in the innings. Flighted delivery around leg, Shedge kneels down to sweep but the ball dips and lands next to his left boot, spins across to hit the stumps. There was a bit of rough due to the bowler's landing area and that's what got the ball to spin across sharply. Suryansh Shedge b Ravindu Fernando 2(6)

Wanuja Sahan to Tilak Varma, out Caught by Avishka Fernando!! This is a big wicket. Tilak was set, India still had 10 overs to go and they would have liked their skipper to bat deep, but he's picked out the fielder. It is also another fifty which Tilak hasn't converted in this series. His scores - 60, 66, 23, 59 and 67 (today). Flighted outside off, Tilak sits down and does not middle the slog sweep, gets more of a top-edge and it is a simple catch for Avishka at deep mid-wicket. Once again India lose two set batters in a space of two overs. Tilak Varma c Avishka Fernando b Wanuja Sahan 67(90) [4s-4 6s-1]

Ravindu Fernando to Kumar Kushagra, out Caught by Niroshan Dickwella!! that looks out, and it has been given! Fernando pitches it on the leg stump and Kushagra goes for the reverse sweep, but fails to get any bat to it. This was full and pushed quicker by Fernando, not giving the wicketkeeper-batter to play the reverse sweep. Would have gone onto hit the middle and leg-stump. Another batter gets out after getting a start, but the intention was right. India have wickets in hand and need to get as many as possible in the remaining overs. Kumar Kushagra c Niroshan Dickwella b Ravindu Fernando 36(39) [4s-3 6s-1]

Ravindu Fernando to Kumar Kushagra, FOUR, flat and short, Kushagra had all the time in the world to go back and hammer it down the ground

Ravindu Fernando to Tilak Varma, SIX, Tilak has finally decided it's time to go and gets down on his knee and slog sweeps it to deep square leg for his first six. Tossed up outside off and Tilak is set enough to power it over the fence

Kugathas Mathulan to Kumar Kushagra, FOUR, follows it up with another good-looking boundary through deep mid-wicket. Full and on leg from Mathulan and the wicketkeeper-batter from Jharkhand whips it to deep mid for back-to-back boundaries

Kugathas Mathulan to Kumar Kushagra, FOUR, that's a stylish shot! Gets the length and Kushagra lofts it straight down the ground for a boundary. Was full enough for Kushagra to play it through the line. India need a bit more of these

Wanuja Sahan to Tilak Varma, 2 runs, gives himself some room and gets the length to hit it to sweeper cover for a couple of runs

V Viyaskanth to Tilak Varma, 1 run, fourth fifty of the series for Tilak Varma, who has been super consistent with the bat in the middle order. Flatter on length on the stumps, Tilak turns it to square leg and raises his bat

Sahan Arachchige to Kumar Kushagra, SIX, shot! Kushagra comes forward, gets close to the pitch of the ball and hammers it over long-on for his first six of the match. This will help him break the shackles

Mohamed Shiraz to Ruturaj Gaikwad, out Bowled!! What happened there? Gaikwad is bowled. There was no reaction from the Sri Lankan fielders. Some of them didn't realise. Fullish delivery angled down, Gaikwad shuffles a bit and misses the glance, the ball goes behind him and hits the leg-stump. The partnership is broken. And Gaikwad is disappointed with himself, he got a start but hasn't converted it. Replays show that the ball hit the under side of the thigh pad and deflected onto the stumps. Unlucky! Ruturaj Gaikwad b Mohamed Shiraz 40(51) [4s-2 6s-1]

Mohamed Shiraz to Ruturaj Gaikwad, FOUR, shot! Short of length delivery and Gaikwad is quick to pounce, he swivels around and nails the pull backward of square. No chance for the fielder in the deep to stop that

Wanuja Sahan to Ruturaj Gaikwad, FOUR, India needed that. Runs were coming in a trickle. This was pushed through and slides down leg, Gaikwad sits down to sweep and does not middle it, but a small deflection and the ball runs away past Dickwella

Wanuja Sahan to Ruturaj Gaikwad, 1 run, shimmies down the pitch, gets to the pitch and drives to long-off

Kugathas Mathulan to Tilak Varma, FOUR, shot! That was a bad delivery and Tilak puts it away. Short and angled across, width on offer and Tilak cracks the cut past the diving backward point fielder

V Viyaskanth to Tilak Varma, FOUR, boundaries starting to flow again.. Viyaskanth overcooks the flighted delivery and Tilak takes advantage, he slams it straight back over the bowler and the ball races away

Ravindu Fernando to Ruturaj Gaikwad, SIX, fabulous shot! He needed that. Just to break the shackles and get him going. Flighted around off, Gaikwad comes down the track and gets to the pitch of the ball, lofts it handsomely and sends it sailing over long-off

V Viyaskanth to Tilak Varma, FOUR, misfield and the ball runs away. Tossed up outside off, Tilak leans forward and drives it wide of mid-off. The fielder moves to his right and ends up diving over the ball

Dulaj Samuditha to Tilak Varma, 1 run, full and the left-hander tucks it to square leg for one run. 150 up for India in less than 15 overs!

Dulaj Samuditha to Tilak Varma, FOUR, half-volley on the stumps and it's easy pickings for the Indian captain who works it fine to start his innings with a boundary

Dulaj Samuditha to Priyansh Arya, out Caught by V Viyaskanth!! That's an outstanding catch by Viyaskanth and India have lost both their openers in the space of two overs. On length and leg-stump, Arya tried to flick it but was slightly early into his shot and the boundaries are quite big here. Not enough power behind the shot. The ball went high in the air towards deep backward square where the fielder covered quite a bit of ground, dived in front and completed a good low catch. Arya would be disappointed to not convert yet another start. Sri Lanka now have an opening and would want to come back in the contest. Priyansh Arya c V Viyaskanth b Dulaj Samuditha 39(29) [4s-6 6s-1]

Dulaj Samuditha to Priyansh Arya, FOUR, gets a boundary after three dots! Full and width on offer and Arya whips it through sweeper cover for four

Sahan Arachchige to Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, out Caught by V Viyaskanth!! Got him, and Sri Lanka would be extremely relieved! The Sri Lankan captain has done the job for his team and Sooryavanshi misses out on a record hundred. Tossed up from the spinner and the left-hander wanted to go over mid-off but ended up miscuing it straight to the fielder. Made room but the spinner followed him, and was quite full. Didn't get enough elevation and power behind the shot and that led to his downfall. Sooryavanshi takes his helmet off and leaves the field amongst the applause. Missed out on a century but it was some knock by the young batter. Vaibhav Sooryavanshi c V Viyaskanth b Sahan Arachchige 94(29) [4s-10 6s-8]

Sahan Arachchige to Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, SIX, tossed up outside off and Sooryavanshi goes inside out to deep extra cover for a six. This was full and Sooryavanshi smacks it for a six. Into the 90s now

Ravindu Fernando to Priyansh Arya, FOUR, luck is completely in India's favour. Turns away from the length and Arya wanted to hit it out of the park. Got an outside edge and the ball rolled to the third man fence

Kugathas Mathulan to Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, SIX, this is just ruthless from Sooryavanshi! Nothing seems to be working for Sri Lanka. This time over deep extra cover. Full and on the leg stump, the left-hander makes room and lofts it for a six

Kugathas Mathulan to Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, SIX, the young opener is in some mood today. Full and going away from outside off and all Sooryavanshi did was threw his bat at it and sliced it over deep backward point for his sixth maximum

Kugathas Mathulan to Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, FOUR, was that intentional!? A good bumper from the paceman but Sooryavanshi reacted very well. Wanted to duck under it but got the bat up and ramped it over the head of the keeper for a boundary. The partnership is now 100 in less than 7 overs.

Ravindu Fernando to Priyansh Arya, FOUR, now Arya takes charge! The left-hander comes down the crease, gets close to the pitch of the bowl and lofts it towards deep extra cover. Arya says he is here too

Ravindu Fernando to Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, FOUR, pays the price on the very next delivery. Tossed up outside off, no turn and Sooryavanshi slammed it to deep extra cover for a boundary

Ravindu Fernando to Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, no run, dropped once again! Full from Fernando and Sooryavanshi smashed it straight back to the bowler. The catch was just above the head of the bowler who got his hands up but failed to grab it. This should have been taken, especially with the kind of form Sooryavanshi is in

Kugathas Mathulan to Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, FOUR, now this was timed to perfection! Full and outside off and Sooryavanshi plays an expansive drive through the cover region for a boundary

Kugathas Mathulan to Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, 2 runs, on length with a bit of inward movement, Sooryavanshi lofted it over mid-on where the fielder ran back but never looked like taking the catch. Just got some fingers to it. This wasn't timed well by Sooryavanshi

Kugathas Mathulan to Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, FOUR, that was a good yorker but the luck is clearly in Sooryavanshi's favour today. Yorker just outside the off-stump, Sooryavanshi managed to bring his bat down, and the ball took the toe-end of the bat and went for boundary behind the stumps

Dulaj Samuditha to Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, FOUR, ruthless is the word! Gets a bit of width this time around and slices it to deep backward point. 20 from this over and Sooryavanshi, who was involved in a fight in the previous game against Sri Lanka, is stamping his authority today

Dulaj Samuditha to Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, SIX, FIFTY OFF JUST 11 DELIVERIES FOR Sooryavanshi! Has to be a the fastest in List-A cricket. A good slower delivery from the left-arm seamer on length and Sooryavanshi didn't time it to perfection but had enough power to go over the long-on fence. The mid-on was inside, so that was a safe shot. He is punishing Sri Lanka, and they seem to look clueless

Dulaj Samuditha to Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, SIX, once again in the Sooryavanshi's arc. The long hands of Sooryavanshi. Dulaj went on the length but the batter stood and whacked it straight down the ground for another maximum. 44 off 10 now for the young batter

Dulaj Samuditha to Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, FOUR, this boy is not going to slow down. Full, moving away and smashed to deep extra cover

Dulaj Samuditha to Priyansh Arya, 1 run, DROPPED AT MID-OFF! That should have been taken by the Sri Lankan captain. Back of a length outside off and the ball bounced a bit more. Arya got it from the upper part of his bat and the ball went to the left of the fielder who dived to his left but failed to complete the catch

Dulaj Samuditha to Priyansh Arya, FOUR, outside edge but the ball still rolls to the boundary. Hint of movement from just outside off and Arya poked at it and got an edge. The ball didn't carry to the slip and to make things worse, it went for a boundary

Mohamed Shiraz to Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, FOUR, 26 runs! Sooryavanshi is putting on a show in the final and if this keeps going for a while, this game could very well get over. Full once again, and the young opener smoked it to the right of the mid-off fielder for four. That was hit with some power

Mohamed Shiraz to Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, SIX, not missing out this time around! There was a fielder at deep extra cover but that was never going to stop the Boss Baby. Full, moving away way outside off and the left-hander hammered it over the head of the fielder for another six

Mohamed Shiraz to Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, SIX, another one! This time makes room for himself, allows the ball to move away and lofts it over deep extra cover for another six. This was in the hitting zone and the left-hander was never going to miss out. He has raced to 24 off just five deliveries

Mohamed Shiraz to Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, SIX, phew! This is bad bowling from Shiraz and Sooryavanshi is making the most of it. Not much pace on offer and you can't bowl short to someone like Sooryavanshi. This was down the leg and the left-hander hooked it to backward square leg for a six

Mohamed Shiraz to Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, FOUR, short and onto the body, Sooryavanshi allows the ball to come to him and pulls it to deep mid-wicket to collect his third four in as many deliveries. He is off to a flying start

Sahan Arachchige to Priyansh Arya, FOUR, this is poor from Arachchige. Gives Arya some width and the left-hander slices it to deep backward point for a boundary

Sahan Arachchige to Priyansh Arya, SIX, tosses this one up, right in Arya's arc. The left-hander goes down on his knee and whacks it over long-on for the first six of the match

Mohamed Shiraz to Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, FOUR, the Boss Baby is going to bat in this fashion, and will need some luck, which is precisely what he got this time around. Shiraz pulled his length back and got it to move away, the batter went for the pull and got a top edge that flew over the keeper for another boundary

Mohamed Shiraz to Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, FOUR, take that says Sooryavanshi! Full from Shiraz and Sooryavanshi slams it down the ground for a boundary. That's some way to open your account

Mohamed Shiraz to Priyansh Arya, FOUR, outside edge and Arya gets off the mark with a boundary. Full and outside off and Shiraz is getting some nice outswing. Arya threw his bat at it, got an edge and the ball rolled towards the third man region for a boundary
