India registered a six-wicket victory in the third one-day international against Sri Lanka at the Pallekele International Cricket Stadium. Rohit Sharma smashed an unbeaten 124 to help India register a series-clinching 6-wicket victory in the third one-day international against Sri Lanka on Sunday. Earlier, Sri Lanka captain Chamara Kapugedera won the toss but the hosts did not get the kind of start they needed. Bumrah dismissed Niroshan Dickwella and Kusal Mendis to reduce Sri Lanka to 28-2 before Lahiru Thirimanne and Dinesh Chandimal tried to steady the innings. Once Hardik Pandya dismissed Chandimal for 36, Sri Lanka lost wickets at regular intervals and did not get any significant partnership.
