India established a command of 178 runs on the first innings courtesy of a combined seven-wicket effort from Suthar and Jadeja. The bowling pair helped restrict Sri Lanka, who were responding to an imposing Indian total of 462. The visitors initially tumbled into deep trouble at 90 for 5. A determined fightback led by Dinusha, who compiled a century, alongside Dickwella produced a partnership of 146 runs, though India nevertheless managed to secure a substantial overall advantage.
