India beat Sri Lanka by 8 wickets to clinch series
India wrapped up the ODI series in style after a convincing 8-wicket victory over Sri Lanka on Sunday in Visakhapatnam.
India outclassed the Lankans to win the series 2-1. Sri Lanka were all out for 215 runs after put into bat by India.
Sri Lanka were cruising to a big total but their middle-order yet again disappointed them.
Upul Tharanga and Sadeera Samarawickrama put in a valiant partnership but it all went in vain. As soon as both departed, the other batsmen fell like a pack of cards.
India’s spinning duo Kuldeep Yadav and Yuzvendra Chahal shared 3 wickets each to derail Sri Lanka’s chances in the match.
In the second innings, India made light work of the chase despite losing skipper Rohit Sharma early on. Shreyas Iyer and Shikhar Dhawan struck a 135-run stand to take the game away from Lanka’s hands.
