India lost Shreyas Iyer and Manish Pandey in quick succession and suddenly the game assumed a more critical picture for the hosts.
Sri Lanka managed to string together few dot deliveries which pushed up the required run rate.
However, there was the exuberance of Dinesh Karthik and the calmness of Mahendra Singh Dhoni and they never looked hassled at all.
With a partnership of 31 in 19 deliveries, the duo saw the game through and India completed a 3-0 whitewash in the three-match T20I series.
Dinesh Karthik remained unbeaten on 18 off 12 balls and Dhoni, who nudged a boundary to complete the chase, was unbeaten on 16 off 10 deliveries.
