India chose to bat first and amassed 228\/5 on the board thanks in large part to Suryakumar\u2019s 45-ball century, which later caused Sri Lanka to falter under the weight of run pressure. The visitors\u2019 attempt to win their first series in India was unsuccessful as they were dismissed for 137 runs inside of 17 overs.<\/p>\n<p>Despite India\u2019s win, the visitors witnessed a tough fight and their confidence boosting up with 2nd T20I win as well as the betterment in team\u2019s overall performance. \u201cBefore coming here, I wasn\u2019t in form.
