India came back from the dead as Sri Lanka upstaged the collapses they suffered in the first and second T20Is to win the third of the series in the Super Over. Chasing a target of 138, Sri Lanka went from being 110/1 in the 16th over to tying the scores at 137/8, thus losing seven wickets for 27 runs in 28 balls. They then lost both their wickets to a brilliant Washington Sundar in the Super Over for two runs and India captain Suryakumar Yadav hit a four off the first ball to take his team to a series clean sweep in his first stint as full-time captain of the T20I side.
