Sri Lanka National Cricket Team vs India National Cricket Team Timeline: T20
The India vs Sri Lanka T20I rivalry has several thrilling encounters with nail-biting finishes. The Sri Lanka national cricket team vs India national cricket team timeline in T20Is suggests that the first time these two sides met in a 20-over game was in R Premadasa Stadium in Colombo on 10 Feb 2009. Probably the most important match between India and Sri Lanka in T20Is was the 2014 T20 World Cup final, which Sri Lanka won by 6 wickets.
Sri Lanka decided to bowl first on the seaming conditions at Mirpur after winning the toss. Sri Lankan bowlers dominated the game from the very first bowl, as India managed just 130/4 in 20 overs. Came to chase a 131-run target; Sri Lanka too did not get a great start, and their wickets fell at regular intervals. But Kumar Sangakkara set his foot on the one side of the wicket, made 54*, and helped Sri Lanka to cross the line and become the new T20 champions. Sri Lanka has won just one T20I series against India; on the other hand, India won 9 T20I series against Sri Lanka. India won 3-0 in the recently concluded T20I series vs Sri Lanka.
