Sri Lankan captain Dasun Shanaka grabbed a stunning catch to dismiss India’s middle-order batsman Nitish Rana in the third and final T𒀰20I of the three-match series at the R. Premadasa Stadium, Colombo on Thursday night.
It all happened in the ninth over of the first innings when Rana🃏 aimed to sneak a single off 𝐆the final delivery. However, he was put off by the slowness of the ball and ended up chipping it straight into the follow-through of Shanaka.
The right-arm pacer dived to his left 🅠and took a one-handed stunner to send Rana back to the dugout on 6 (15).

All-round Sri Lanka thrash India by seven wickets
Exposing India batsmen’s inability to tackle spin, Sri Lanka registered a seven-wicket victory in the series decider.
Leg-spinner Wanindu Hasaranga (4/9) recorded his career-best bowling figures in T20 internatio💙nals on his 24th bi🍸rthday and helped the hosts restrict India to a paltry 81-8, which was also their lowest against Sri Lanka.
Lowest T20I totals for India:
- 74 vs Australia, Melbourne 2008
- 79 vs New Zealand, Nagpur 2016
- 81/8 v Sri Lanka, Colombo 2021
- 92 vs South Africa, Cuttack 2015
In reply, the Lankans reached the target in 14.3 overs, with Dhananjaya De Silva (23 not out🐻) scoring bulk of the runs. Rahul Chahar was the only wicket-taker for India with 3/15 in 4 overs.
