SKY hands the trophy to Rinku and Parag as India celebrate the victory. Thanks for joining us, see you all in the first ODI between these two sides that will be played in Colombo on Friday. Oh, and also see around for that little event which is taking place in Paris.

India vs Sri Lanka Live Score, 3rd T20I, IND vs SL: Well, the Sri Lankan batters, particularly the ones that walked in for this series after the top three, need to take a long hard look at themselves in the mirror for losing that one. Theekshana bowls the Super Over for the hosts, fires the first ball flat and quick and SKY sweeps it past short fine leg to win the match off the first ball of the Super Over. India win their first series with him as full-time captain and Gautam Gambhir as head coach 3-0.

India vs Sri Lanka Live Score, 3rd T20I, IND vs SL: Sundar takes back to back wickets for the second time tonight and Sri Lanka walk off with just 2 runs on the board in the Super Over. India need to score 3 to win this. Just the most extraordinary turnaround here. Sri Lanka had this in the bag, it was almost impossible to see them losing it during the 15th over. Anyhow, here are Suryakumar yadav and Shubman Gill, the former is on strike.

India vs Sri Lanka Live Score, 3rd T20I, IND vs SL: One of the maximum two wickets for Sri Lanka in this Super Over. Perera pulls Sundar third ball and ends up holing out at the boundary.

IND vs SL Live Score: Sri Lanka 1/1 in Super Over

India vs Sri Lanka Live Score, 3rd T20I, IND vs SL: Kusal Perera and Kusal Mendis, seemingly two of three Sri Lankan batters who can stay in the crease for more than three balls, walk out for the hosts. Washington Sundar bowling the Super Over for India. Sri Lanka lost as many as seven wickets for 29 runs in the last five overs of their innings. India just can't lose it seems.

India vs Sri Lanka Live Score, 3rd T20I, IND vs SL: Oh the Sri Lankans run two after Wickramasinghe pushes it down the ground. The batters somehow run two and the scores are tied! We have a Super Over!

India vs Sri Lanka Live Score, 3rd T20I, IND vs SL: Wickramasinghe, who did so well with the ball on his international debut, now faces the last ball of the match with his team needing three to win off it. Two runs for a super over. Here we go!

India vs Sri Lanka Live Score, 3rd T20I, IND vs SL: Sri Lanka are imploding and how! They are somehow falling apart in the most extraordinary way imaginable. SKY sends it in from wide of the crease down the leg side, Theekshana goes for the sweep, Samson appeals and the umpire shakes his head. SKY takes the review and there was a glove on it.

IND vs SL Live Score: Sri Lanka 132/8 in 19.3 overws

India vs Sri Lanka Live Score, 3rd T20I, IND vs SL: This is quite extraordinary. Kamindu Mendis goes for the reverse sweep and finds the fielder in the deep. Sri Lanka need six to win off the last four!

India vs Sri Lanka Live Score, 3rd T20I, IND vs SL: Well that is a bit strange. SKY wants to stick to spinners but then he could have handed the ball to Yashasvi Jaiswal who is a genuine part-time spinner. But it seems he has decided to take up that responsibility himself. A rare over coming up from Suryakumar Yadav and it is the last over of the match itself with Sri Lanka needing six runs to win.

India vs Sri Lanka Live Score, 3rd T20I, IND vs SL: Ramesh Mendis looks for the biggie with Sri Lanka needing six to win, ends up dratgging it to Riyan Parag at deep midwicket. Sri Lanka need exactly six runs to win off six balls. They needed 30 to win off 30. India just never go away. And that is probably why they are world champio

IND vs SL Live Score: Sri Lanka 132/6 in 19 overs

India vs Sri Lanka Live Score, 3rd T20I, IND vs SL: A wicket from nowhere, this match remains alive Rinku brought in for the 19th over, sends the second ball flat and quick on leg stump. Perera hits it right back to the bowler. Sri Lanka need just nine to win from 10 but their set batter is gone.

Perera c & b Singh 46 (34)

IND vs SL Live Score: Sri Lanka 129/5 in 18.2 overs

India vs Sri Lanka Live Score, 3rd T20I, IND vs SL: And six runs have come off them. Well this is a bit of an anticlimax. Khaleel Ahmed seems to have lost his line in the 18th over and he has run in five times more than what was needed. Perera gets off strike first ball and then Khaleel sends the second full and wide outside off. The batters take a run off it as well. The next one goes off the pads of Perera and the batters run a leg bye. Then two wides outside off and a single and a double. Then another two wides, this time down the leg side at which point Siraj runs to Khaleel and has a word. A single off the last ball, Sri Lanka need just nine to win off the last two overs now.

IND vs SL Live Score: Sri Lanka 129/4 in 18 overs

India vs Sri Lanka Live Score, 3rd T20I, IND vs SL: The good news for Sri Lanka is that both Sundar and Bishnoi have bowled out. They have to somehow keep their cool and knock down 21 runs from 18 balls. Khaleel Ahmed returns for the 18th over.

IND vs SL Live Score: Sri Lanka 117/4 in 17 overs

India vs Sri Lanka Live Score, 3rd T20I, IND vs SL: Surely, surely Sri Lanka cannot collapse all the way to a defeat from here. They had a couple of spectacular collapses in the last two matches but this one will make them look like child's play. Asalanka offered the full face of the bat but the ball spins devilishly away from him, takes the edge and Samson takes the catch.

Asalanka c Samson b Washington Sundar 0 (1)

IND vs SL Live Score: Sri Lanka 117/4 in 16.4 overs

India vs Sri Lanka Live Score, 3rd T20I, IND vs SL: Well he can only stay quiet for so long it seems. Wanindu Hasaranga, with his team needing 21 to win off 22 balls, decided to slog sweep Washington Sundar out of the park. He holes out to Ravi Bishnoi who runs in from deep square leg and completes the catch with a dive. Good stuff from the spinner, not so much from the Sri Lanka all-rounder.

Hasaranga c Ravi Bishnoi b Washington Sundar 3 (4)

IND vs SL Live Score: Sri Lanka 117/3 in 16.3 overs

India vs Sri Lanka Live Score, 3rd T20I, IND vs SL: Wanindu Hasaranga has been promoted to No.4 and, unlike what he did in the previous two games, hasn't swung for the horizon the very first ball he faced. Instead he has been looking for runs in the field and has scored two runs in two balls, Perera at the other end on 41 off 26.

IND vs SL Live Score: Sri Lanka 115/2 in 16 overs

India vs Sri Lanka Live Score, 3rd T20I, IND vs SL: Now then, is this the start of another Indian turnaround? Huge appeal for LBW by Bishnoi and the umpire raises his finger just when the bowler begins to pipe down. Mendis reviews, he goes through the shot quickly and ball tracking shows it is hitting middle stump.

IND vs SL Live Score: India 110/2 in 15.2 overs

India vs Sri Lanka Live Score, 3rd T20I, IND vs SL: Sri Lanka need 30 to win off the last 30 balls. This is their match to lose now. Well, it has been the case for quite a while but Perera's efforts in the last two overs have put the hosts clearly ahead. Perera cuts the fourth ball of the 15th over late and sends it to the boundary. A single off the next ball brings up the 50-run partnership between him and Mendis. He is on 38 off 24, Mendis on 41 off 39. India did fight back from exactly this position in the final of the T20 World Cup last month but well, they don't have Jasprit Bumrah in Sri Lanka while Axar Patel and Hardik Pandya are on the bench.

IND vs SL Live Score: Sri Lanka 108/1 in 15 overs

India vs Sri Lanka Live Score, 3rd T20I, IND vs SL: Sri Lanka get an extra run off the last ball of the 14th with nobody backing up the throw at the striker's end.

IND vs SL Live Score: Sri Lanka 99/1 in 14 overs

India vs Sri Lanka Live Score, 3rd T20I, IND vs SL: Sri Lanka need 64 to win from 54 balls.

Then a leg break and Perera glances it away past short fine leg for another four. He is on 13 off 10, Mendis on 32 off 29.

IND vs SL Live Score: Sri Lanka 74/1 in 11 overs

India vs Sri Lanka Live Score, 3rd T20I, IND vs SL: Sri Lanka need 77 to win from 60 balls. They are definitely not on top the way they were when bowling. Riyan Parag had a couple of big shouts for LBW turned down in that 10th over and just three runs came in it. Kusal Perera missed two sweep shots off the last two balls. This is not an easy surface to bat on, to say the least.

IND vs SL Live Score: Sri Lanka 61/1 in 10 overs

India vs Sri Lanka Live Score, 3rd T20I, IND vs SL: Nissanka goes down the ground to Bishnoi fifth ball of the ninth, chips it up in the air for a simple catch at long on. The first wicket comes in the ninth over for India.

IND vs SL Live Score: Sri Lanka 58/1 in 8.5 overs

India vs Sri Lanka Live Score, 3rd T20I, IND vs SL: Kusal Mendis was starting to look restless and he finally gets a couple of boundaries. He sweeps the second ball from Bishnoi from outside off past deep square leg for four. Another sweep next ball past deep midwicket and he gets another four for his efforts. A single off the last ball and Mendis is on 21 off 22, Nissanka on 22 off 20.

IND vs SL Live Score: Sri Lanka 45/0 in 7 overs

India vs Sri Lanka Live Score, 3rd T20I, IND vs SL: Samson's not had the greatest of times in this tour and now that spreads to his wicketkeeping as well. Siraj gets a nick off Mendis fifth ball of the sixth over, Samson seemed to be wrong-footed as he went for the dive. The ball went into the gloves and out. Four runs in that over, Mendis on 12 off 17, Nissanka on 21 off 19.

IND vs SL Live Score: Sri Lanka 35/0 in 6 overs
