Virat Kohli continued to be domineering, and Irfan Pathan impressed once again, as India finished a successful limited-overs battle in Sri Lanka with an easy win in the only T20 international on the tour. Kohli was in complete control, picking gaps at will, finding boundaries with minimum effort, even off the irregular mistimed shot, and helped take India to 155.
Irfan, who found significant swing, undermined a Sri Lankan fightback with the ball in the death overs by dismissing three senior Sri Lanka batsmen and was backed up by a enclose effort by the rest. Thirimanne and Mathews tried to maintain the rhythm, stepping out and going over the top and adding 33 in quick time. But Thirimanne effort to reverse-sweep a straight ball from R Ashwin failed and cost him his wicket.
