Kuldeep Yadav and Jasprit Bumrah once again set up India's win

India needed early wickets to remain in the game and that's exactly what Jasprit Bumrah did, producing two massive scalps in the form of Pathum Nissanka and Kusal Mendis.

Mohammed Siraj and Ravindra Jadeja were also brilliant with their spells, ensuring Sri Lanka kept on losing wickets at regular intervals. But the star of the day was undoubtedly Kuldeep Yadav with four wickets. He broke the partnership between Sadeera Samarawickrama and Charith Asalanka by sending both back to the pavilion.

The partnership between Dhananjaya de Silva and Dunith Wellalage threatened to take the game away, but Jadeja broke that partnership as well. It was followed by a fiery spell from Hardik Pandya before Kuldeep came back and wrapped up the Sri Lankan innings.

The match between Sri Lanka and Pakistan now becomes a knockout with the winner meeting Rohit Sharma and co. in the final.
