During the chase, Sri Lanka stumbled. After going down to 63/4 in 14.3 overs, it was Dasun Shanaka who steadied the ship. With seven fours and 4 sixes, he brought up his maiden ODI ton as he partnered Kamindu Mendis (57) for a 118-run stand. After Mendis departed, Chamika Karunaratne anchored the innings and kept the hopes alive. However, once he was run-out shortly after Dasun Shanaka, all hopes were dented. In the end, Sri Lanka managed 280/9 in 50 overs, falling 23 runs short.
