India beat Sri Lanka by 9 Wickets Clinch Series 2-1

 

India's Off-spinner Ravichandran weaved his magic with a career-best four-wicket haul while Shikhar Dhawan hit an unbeaten 46 as India trounced Sri Lanka by 9 Wickets in the deciding third and final Twenty20 International to clinch the 3-match T20 series 2-1 on Sunday February 14,2016

Ravichandran Ashwin scalped two wickets in the very first over and added two more to finish with dream figures of 4-1-8-4 as the hosts bowled out Sri Lanka for 82, their lowest ever score in T20 cricket.

Before this, Sri Lanka's lowest total was 87 Vs Australia in 2010 at Bridgetown

Opting to field, India skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni handed the new ball to Ashwin and he responded with two wickets in the first over of the match.

Ravichandran Ashwin's Magical Spell 1/08(4 Overs)

Ravichandran Ashwin had Niroshan Dickwella (1) stumped when the batsman charged down the track and missed the ball completely.
In the last ball of the over, Ravichandran Ashwin trapped Tillakaratne Dilshan(1)and in his second over, he had SL Captain Dinesh Chandimal caught by Hardik Pandya as the rival skipper tried to cut loose but miscued a shot.
In his third over, Ravichandran Ashwin got rid of debutant Asela Gunaratne and soon the Lankans were reeling at 21 for five with left-arm paceman Ashish Nehra taking the fifth wicket.

The series win also helped India retain its No. 1 position in the ICC T20 rankings.

It was the second successive T20 International series win for India after whitewashing Australia 3-0 in Australia
