Sri Lanka’s pint-sized opener Pathum Nissanka hammered a fiery century as India’s bowlers endured their toughest outing of the Asia Cup, before Arshdeep Singh’s brilliance in the Super Over sealed a dramatic win for India in Dubai on Friday (September 26).

The victory marked India’s sixth consecutive win.

Riding on Abhishek Sharma's third half-century of the event, India scored 202 for 5 in 20 overs, but Nissanka packed so much punch in his strokes that left the defending champions on the brink of defeat, before Sri Lanka were stopped at the same score.

Needing 12 off the last over from Harshit Rana and three off the final ball, Dasun Shanaka (22 not out off 11 balls) could manage only two as the match went into Super Over.
