They chased down a revised DLS target with relative ease, securing a victory by 7 wickets to clinch the T20I series 2-0. The day belonged to bowler Bishnoi, whose precision and pace were instrumental in dismantling the Sri Lankan batting order. Axar Patel complemented his efforts with a barrage of well-placed deliveries that left the opposition in turmoil. The result was a powerful reminder of India’s dominance in the shorter format of the game.
