    But Sri Lanka: It looked all serene for India to complete the chase of 231 against Sri Lanka, but captain Charith Asalanka and Wanindu Hasaranga took three wickets each to ensure the ODI series opener ended in a tie at the R. Premadasa Stadium on Friday.

    India had a flying start, thanks to Rohit Sharma's blazing 58. But after he fell, Sri Lanka's spinners – Hasaranga, Akila Dananjaya and Dunith Wellalage – who made an unbeaten 67 in the first innings - found their way to come back in the match.

    Though K.L. Rahul and Axar Patel kept them at bay, once the duo fell in quick succession, Sri Lanka once again clawed their way back, thanks to Hasaranga and Asalanka to ensure back-to-back matches in the series ended in a tie. It made for absorbing and thrilling entertainment for fans at the stadium, as Sri Lanka felt joyful, while India looked shell-shocked.
