In an Asia Cup dead rubber between the sides on Friday (September 26), India were put in to bat, and made 202-5, built primarily on Abhishek Sharma's 61 off 31 balls. In reply, Sri Lanka were looking good to record their highest run-chase in T20I cricket as Pathum Nissanka (107) and Kusal Perera (58) put on 127 in 70 balls. As it happened though, the game came down to the final ball with Sri Lanka needing three to win – Dasun Shanaka and Janith Liyanage managed to run a double. Shanaka returned to bat in the Super Over for Sri Lanka, and confusion ensued off the fourth ball. The batter failed to connect with Arshdeep Singh's wide yorker, as the ball went through to keeper Sanju Samson. Shanaka set off for a bye, even as non-striker Kamindu Mendis sent him back. He was mid-pitch as Samson threw the stumps down, running him out by a mile. However, in the meantime, Arshdeep had appealed to the bowler's end umpire for a catch, feeling that Shanaka had nicked the ball. The umpire agreed, and raised the finger. Shanaka chose to review the call, which was overturned by the TV umpire. He was allowed to resume his innings, even as India's players sought clarification from the on-field umpires. Shanaka ended up holing out in the deep the very next ball, giving India a target of three runs, which they chased down in one delivery.
