Afghan Voice Agency(AVA)_Monitoring, The nail-biting limited overs game was played on Tuesday night at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium in the United Arab Emirate (UAE).
Sri Lanka, having won the toss, elected to field in an encounter of fluctuating fortunes. India set them a target of 174 for the loss of eight wickets.
Captain Rohit Sharma and middle-order batter Suryakumar Yadav shone with the willow, with former scoring a 41-ball 72 and the latter making 34 off 29 deliveries.
