On Friday, Sri Lanka captain Charith Asalanka played a pivotal role in securing the tie by claiming two crucial wickets. Asalanka, who bowled the 48th over while India was chasing a target of 231, dismissed Shivam Dube lbw for 25 and then removed Arshdeep Singh, leading to India being bowled out for 230 in reply to Sri Lanka's 230-8. With no provision for a Super Over, the match ended in a tie, marking the second such result between these teams in the 50-over format. As a result, the series stands level at 0-0 heading into the second game.
With no Super Over available, the game ended in a tie— the second such result between the two teams in the 50-over format—leaving the series level at 0-0 as they head into the second match. Dunith Wellalage was a standout performer, contributing an unbeaten 67 in Sri Lanka's innings and claiming two wickets, including the dismissal of Indian captain Rohit Sharma for 58 with his left-arm spin.
Wanindu Hasaranga and Asalanka both took three wickets each, disrupting the Indian batting line-up with regular breakthroughs. KL Rahul, who scored 31, and Axar Patel, with 33, put up a valiant effort in a sixth-wicket partnership of 57, but their departures saw India falter. Dube, despite hitting two sixes in his 24-ball innings, couldn't secure the win for his team.
