Pallekele, July 30
India defeated Sri Lanka via the Super Over in the inconsequential third and final T20I to sweep the series 3-0. Kusal Perera (46) and Kusal Mendis (43) guided Lanka's chase of 138 before their innings fell apart at the business end.
For India, Washington Sundar, Ravi Bishnoi, Rinku Singh and skipper Suryakumar Yadav took two wickets apiece. India needed just three runs to win in the Super Over.
Earlier, SL bowlers produced a tidy effort to restrict India to a modest 137/9. Only Shubman Gill showed some spunk with a 39.
Brief scores: India: 137/9 (Gill 39, Parag 26, Sundar 25; Theekshana 3/28); Sri Lanka: 137/8 (Perera 46; Sundar 2/23). — PTI

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
