Sri Lanka suffered a staggering collapse against India

In a dramatic turn of events, Sri Lanka suffered a staggering collapse, losing 7 wickets for just 27 runs in 23 balls, squandering a near-certain victory against India in the third T20I. The Lions were comfortably positioned at 1/110, needing only 28 runs from 29 balls when Kusal Mendis (43 off 41) was dismissed LBW by Ravi Bishnoi, igniting a catastrophic middle-order failure. Washington Sundar, Suryakumar Yadav, and Rinku Singh each took two wickets, with Yadav emerging as an unlikely hero, bowling his first-ever T20I over and pushing the game to a super over.

Needing just three runs off the final ball, Sri Lanka could only manage two, falling short. In the super over, Sundar swiftly claimed two wickets, allowing India to seal the match as Yadav struck a boundary to secure victory. Sri Lanka's collapse marked one of the most brutal chokes in recent cricket history.
