Spinners are usually not utilized when there is dew on the outfield, but Rohit Sharma made sure they got a dry ball to work with. The spin twins used this opportunity and bowled with a lot of guile.

Chahal was at his usual best as he took 4 important wickets to wreck Sri Lanka's chase. He used all his variations - the googly and the flipper - and scalped the wickets of the most dangerous batsmen in the Sri Lankan line up.

Kuldeep Yadav bowled miserly as he only gave away 18 runs in his 4 overs. He also picked up the wickets of Kusal Perera and Dasun Shanaka.
