September 10, 2026 · ESPN Cricinfo

India took firm control of the match after calling a halt to their innings at a mammoth total of 503. The commanding batting display was anchored by Dhruv Jurel, who reached an unbeaten century to put his side in a dominant position. With the bat silenced, India's bowlers quickly pressed the advantage against Sri Lanka. By removing a pair of opposition batters before the close, they effectively extinguished Sri Lanka's realistic chances in the contest.
