India A vs Sri Lanka A, Tri-Series Final Highlights: IND A beat SL A by 66 runs, win Tri-Series
India A vs Sri Lanka A (IND-A vs SL-A) Tri Series Final Match Today Highlights: Vaibhav Sooryavanshi's scarcely believable early onslaught pretty much won the match for India inside the first 10 overs of the match.
IND A vs SL A Tri-Nation Series Final Today Match Highlights: Sri Lanka A were all out for 312 chasing a mammoth target of 378 that India A set largely thanks to an unbelievable 94 in 29 balls by Vaibhav Sooryavanshi. India A have thus won the Tri-Nation series. Yash Thakur and Vipraj Nigam got three wickets each.
India A may have batted the full 50 overs but the highlights was in the first nine when Vaibhav Sooryavanshi scaled the kind of assault that allowed the rest of the batting lineup to stroll along and still get to a score of 377/9. Sooryavanshi fell off the fifth ball of the ninth over but India had already got to a score of 132 by then. That was because the teenager smashed 94 runs in a scarcely believable 29 balls with 10 fours and eight sixes at a strike rate of 324.13.
One may say that 377 is hence quite a disappointing total that the Indians have got to. The next best score after Sooryavanshi’s was by captain Tilak Varma who took 90 deliveries to make his 67.

IND-A vs SL-A Live Score, Final: Sri Lanka A 311 all out, India A win the tri-series
A wonderful diving catch by Anukul Roy to finish off the match and the series, India A win the final by 66 runs.
Sri Lanka did fairly well but never really got a head of steam going that could've challenged this humungous total. To be fair to them, their batters performed only like most of the Indian batters as well. The one reason India didn't score something close to 320 and instead got close to 380 was because one player went berzerk in ways that no cricketer can at the moment. Vaibhav Sooryavanshi practically won India this final in the first eight overs itself. Among the bowlers, Yash Thakur and Vipraj Nigam got three wickets each, Anukul Roy took two while Ashok Sharma and Tilak Varma got one each. Ashok had a particularly bad day in the office, finishing with figures of 1/75 in nine overs, an economy of 8.33.

IND-A vs SL-A Live Score, Final: Into the last 10 overs
Sahan has piled up 55 in 62 balls as the Sri Lankans seem to have decided to try and bat for as long as possible now. They have a required rate of 10.30 and are going at 6.87.
Jun 21, 2026 05:22 PM IST
IND-A vs SL-A Live Score, Final: GONE! The stand ends
Anukul Roy gets the breakthrough! Roy tossed up the fifth ball of the 37th over, Viyaskanth with a premeditated slog sweep. Top edge and it goes up in the air. Sooryavanshi catches it at midwicket.

IND-A vs SL-A Live Score, Final: Into the last 20 overs...
And Sri Lanka have crossed 200. Sahan has moved to 30 off 27, Vyaskanth at the other end on 11 off 16. These two have fared really well thus far, India would've thought they can get a bit of a procession going after the SL A skipper fell. But it remains to be seen if the pair can handle Yash Thakur, looks like he is set to be brought back on in the over that is to come after this. Ashok Sharma steaming in for the 31st now.
SL A 218/6 in 31 overs
Jun 21, 2026 04:31 PM IST
IND-A vs SL-A Live Score, Final: GONE! A wicket for Tilak Varma!
If there was any doubt about the result thus far, that should end it. It was fullish and slow, Arachchige seemed to go for a premeditated sweep, could not get out of the shot when it turned out that it wasn't on.

IND-A vs SL-A Live Score, Final: Sri Lanka A 167/5 in 23 overs
Sri Lanka are just about keeping up with the required rate but the fact that half their squad is back in the hut would be of some concern for them, to put it lightly. Vipraj Nigam got a wicket for himself by sending back Ravindu Fernando.
And now here comes captain Tilak Varma for an over.
Jun 21, 2026 04:09 PM IST
IND-A vs SL-A Live Score, Final: 50 and gone for Samarawickrama!
Edged and gone! Ashok Sharma, who Samarawickrama has smashed around the most, is the man who gets him in the end. Shortish delivery, doesn't give the batter enough room to cut. Samarawickrama tried to make room but in the end, only nicks it to the wicketkeeper.

IND-A vs SL-A Live Score, Final: Samarawickrama nearing a half-century
He has cruised his way to 46 in 38 balls. Samarawickrama has looked easily the most assured out there today among the Sri Lankans. Good progress made by Arachchige at the other end as well, he is on 24 off 23 balls.
Sri Lanka A 122/3 in 17 overs
Jun 21, 2026 03:33 PM IST
IND-A vs SL-A Live Score, Final: Sri Lanka cross 100
Samarawickrama continues to go at a good click. Starts off the 13th over by Nishant Sindhu with a pair of fours off the first two balls. He is on 35 off 25 balls, and he has Sahan Arachchige at the other end on 15 off 13 balls.
Sri Lanka A 102/3, need 276 to win from 37 overs.
Jun 21, 2026 03:16 PM IST
IND-A vs SL-A Live Score, Final: OUT! Wicket No.3 for Thakur!
Nuwanidu Fernando flicks the third ball right into the hands of the fielder at long leg. It was the kind of delivery that deserves to be hit. Full and angling into leg. But Fernando falls to that. Just when it had started looking like the Sri Lankans were making good progress.

IND-A vs SL-A Live Score, Final: Samarawickrama taking it on!
Well, Samarawickerama seems to have decided to target Ashok Sharma here. He smashes back to back fours off the second and third balls of the eighth over, then runs a leg bye. And then Fernando joins the party, smashes the fifth ball over square leg for a huge six.
Fernando on 14 off 16 balls, Samarawickrama on 18 off 12.
Sri Lanka A 63/2 in 8 overs
Jun 21, 2026 03:07 PM IST
IND-A vs SL-A Live Score, Final: Sri Lanka A 48/2 in 7 overs
Nuwanidu Fernando and Sadeera Samarawickrama in the middle now for Sri Lanka and the latter managed to get a couple of fours off the sixth over by Ashok Sharma. The pair looking to set themselves up a bit. Sri Lanka need one big partnership at least from here on to stand a chance in this chase.
Jun 21, 2026 02:48 PM IST
IND-A vs SL-A Live Score, Final: OUT! Two wickets now for Thakur
Oh Dickwella backs away trying to create some room. Ends up missing the ball and seeing his stumps flattened altogether.

IND-A vs SL-A Live Score, Final: GONE! Yash Thakur with the breakthrough for India A
Good sharp catch at slips by Gaikwad and Avishka Fernando has to walk! Thakur gets the ball to move away that little bit which does the job. Avishka takes a swing at it, gets an edge on it and Gaikwad moves to his left to pouch it.

IND-A vs SL-A Live Score, Final: 9 runs in the first over
A good start here for the Sri Lankans. Dickwella starts the innings with a four off the first ball, it was sent through the gap at square leg. The fourth ball was then smashed over mid on for another four.
Ashok Sharma to bowl from the other end on his India A debut.
Jun 21, 2026 02:35 PM IST
IND-A vs SL-A Live Score, Final: Now for the Sri Lankan chase...
Niroshan Dickwella and Avishka Fernando open the batting for the Sri Lankans. Yash Thakur to bowl India's first over, one slip in place. 378 to win the tri-series.
Jun 21, 2026 01:52 PM IST
IND-A vs SL-A Live Score, Final: IND 377/9 vs SL in Dambulla
377 is a massive total on the board here for India. It will take an extraordinary effort from Sri Lanka. Vaibhav Sooryavanshi's knock with the bat early on did the damage, and after that, it was all about chipping in and maximising the remaining overs, and that is what India did. We will be right back with the second innings. Do stay with us.
Jun 21, 2026 01:37 PM IST
IND-A vs SL-A Live Score, Final: Collision
There is a collision here between the Sri Lankan fielders. Well, it is looking pretty concerning at the moment. One of the parties involved in the collision is skipper Sahan. It is not looking good at all. Medical staff have walked in.
Jun 21, 2026 01:26 PM IST
IND-A vs SL-A Live Score, Final: Sindhu falls
Nishant Sindhu has fallen here in his attempt to accelerate. Has fallen. He hit one straight to the long-on fielder on the boundary. But all in all, it is a pretty good total already from India. Sri Lanka needs to play out of their skins to get these runs.
Jun 21, 2026 01:15 PM IST
IND-A vs SL-A Live Score, Final: 300 up!
300 has come up for India here in Dambulla. Considering the way pitches have played here in Dambulla, that is a pretty decent effort, and a lot of credit for this score has to go to Sooryavanshi the way he started.
Jun 21, 2026 01:07 PM IST
IND-A vs SL-A Live Score, Final: Loosing way
Suryansh Shedge has fallen here. Sri Lanka has been chipping away at the wickets. This is a very crucial passage in the game. Here, India had laid a pretty good foundation, and a few quick wickets in the middle will ruin the momentum.
Jun 21, 2026 12:56 PM IST
IND-A vs SL-A Live Score, Final: Kushagra falls
Kushagra has fallen here. He has played a pretty decent hand here in the middle, but eventually got out. Shedge is the new batter who has walked into the middle. He, too, is a pretty attacking batter.
Jun 21, 2026 12:46 PM IST
IND-A vs SL-A Live Score, Final: Nice partnership
Kumar and Tilak are building a pretty nice partnership here. They are closing on a 50-run stand. Sti Lankans need to try to pick wickets here, as the older ball hitting will get hard. Kushagra too is batting well here playing at run-a-ball.
Jun 21, 2026 12:37 PM IST
IND-A vs SL-A Live Score, Final: Tilak scores half-century
Tilak has gone past his half-century. It has been a pretty timely half-century from him, and he needs to make this a century and take India to 400-420, which will be a pretty good score.
Jun 21, 2026 12:26 PM IST
IND-A vs SL-A Live Score, Final: Good form for Suryansh
Suryansh scored a half-century in the previous game and has started pretty well. The second drinks break has been brought in, and India continues to build on the dominant position.
Jun 21, 2026 12:16 PM IST
IND-A vs SL-A Live Score, Final: Tilak playing well
Tilak is playing well here at the moment. He is closing in on his half-century. He played a good hand here. He has been very consistent with his scoring runs. He hopes to make a big score.
Jun 21, 2026 12:07 PM IST
IND-A vs SL-A Live Score, Final: Gaikwad falls
Gaikwad has fallen here. He tried to play the ball on the leg side, and the ball went onto the stumps and rattled the bails. Important wicket for Sri Lanka. The partnership is broken. India is three down here. Kushagra is the new man in.
Jun 21, 2026 11:57 AM IST
IND-A vs SL-A Live Score, Final: Halfway mark
Halfway through the innings, India has gone past 200 already. 400 is the score which they should be aiming for here. But for that, these two have to bat well and up the tempo. The problem has been that they have not been able to do it.
Jun 21, 2026 11:46 AM IST
IND-A vs SL-A Live Score, Final: 50-run partnership
This partnership is growing nicely between Tilak and Gaikwad here in the middle. A 50-run stand has come between these two. This is what Tilak and Gaikwad have been doing through the series, building those nice partnerships in the middle overs.
Jun 21, 2026 11:37 AM IST
IND-A vs SL-A Live Score, Final: Spin on offer
Sri Lankan bowlers need to pick wickets here in the middle. There is enough on offer on the surface for the spinners to make the most if they pitch the ball. There is a dry pitch which will start turning once the ball gets older.
Jun 21, 2026 11:28 AM IST
IND-A vs SL-A Live Score, Final: Steady partnership
Things have gone to a standstill; both Gaikwad and Tilak are playing at a steady tempo here. This is a good approach from them. They have to keep the partnership building and put India in a good position. They still have a long time to go in the innings to score big runs and construct partnerships.
Jun 21, 2026 11:16 AM IST
IND-A vs SL-A Live Score, Final: Water break
We have reached the first water break, and it has been all India in this game so far. They are scoring at 10s. All thanks to Vaibhav Sooryavanshi and his heroics. He was destructive in the way he went about his innings. Sri Lanka is a long way behind in this game. The only way they could make a comeback in this contest was by picking wickets.
Jun 21, 2026 11:09 AM IST
IND-A vs SL-A Live Score, Final: Steady Gaikwad
Gaikwad is taking his time in the middle here for India. That has been his approach throughout the series. He did manage to score a sublime century when these two sides met initially. A century from here, at that pace, will help India put itself in an exceptional position. A score of 400-450 will be in reach.
Jun 21, 2026 10:57 AM IST
IND-A vs SL-A Live Score, Final: Arya falls
Arya too has fallen here. He tried to flick the ball on the leg-side and did not get the distance, and the fielder at square-leg completed the catch. Sri Lanka now has two new batters, bowling to Tilak Varma and Ruturaj Gaikwad. From the Indian perspective, they need not get carried away from here on, keep place, this is a regular ODI innings.
Jun 21, 2026 10:48 AM IST
IND-A vs SL-A Live Score, Final: Sooryavanshi falls
Vaibhav Sooryavanshi has fallen. Here, skipper Sahan is the wicket-taker. He tried to hit the bowler over mid-off fielder and was caught on the 30-yard circle. The damage has been done, though. India is scoring at 13s. That is a fabulous innings, arguably one that has probably already decided the result of the game.
Jun 21, 2026 10:37 AM IST
IND-A vs SL-A Live Score, Final: Smashing everything
It is not stopping the southpaw, who is smashing the ball all around the park here in Dambulla. It is Sri Lanka vs Sooryavanshi at the moment. He is throwing his bat at everything and is managing to get the boundaries away. He is closing in on a century here, and we are just 37 minutes into the start of the innings, and India have gone past 110.
Jun 21, 2026 10:27 AM IST
IND-A vs SL-A Live Score, Final: World record Sooryavanshi
Vaibhav Sooryavanshi has scored 50 from just 11 balls here, which is a world record. Sri Lanka has brought in the fourth bowler in five overs. This is unreal batting from the teenager. He is hitting almost every ball for a boundary. India has already gone past 80 runs in 4 overs. A bit of IPL cricket is going on here in Dambulla.
Jun 21, 2026 10:17 AM IST
IND-A vs SL-A Live Score, Final: Sooryavanshi on fire
Sooryavanshi is on fire here. India has gone past 50 runs in just three overs. He is smashing the Sri Lankan bowlers all around the park here. He seems to be in a different mood here. A similar thing happened in the U-19 World Cup. He had a subdued tournament throughout and on the day of the final, he went all guns blazing.
Jun 21, 2026 10:06 AM IST
IND-A vs SL-A Live Score, Final: Sooryavanshi-Arya start
There is a bit of grass in the middle of the surface, which will help the seamers a bit early on, but there is nothing closer to the batters, hence it will start turning once the ball gets older and softer. So the drill is simple here for India, try and maximise the powerplay as much as they can, and they have Sooryavanshi-Arya, who are pretty competent.
Jun 21, 2026 09:59 AM IST
IND-A vs SL-A Live Score, Final: Let's go!
Well, the national anthems are done, and the weather is excellent for an ODI game. The Sri Lankan team in a huddle. Indian openers Vaibhav Sooryavanshi will walk out with Priyansh Arya. Sooryavanshi has had a quiet tournament so far today, might be the day he explodes.
IND-A vs SL-A Live Score, Final: Sooryavanshi poor run
After a record-breaking IPL season, all eyes remained fixed on Vaibhav Sooryavanshi’s procession towards the island nation. It was fair to say the expectations had sky-rocketed even though the tacky conditions in Sri Lanka had tempered expectations from pundits and experts. And so Sooryavanshi learnt there could be lean days too, as he as observed in the last two weeks since smashing over 750 runs in the IPL with 70-plus sixes. Sooryavanshi has only garnered 117 runs in four innings, gaining starts but failing to kick on thereafter. His scores in the series read: 14, 44, 21 and 38. The spotlight has remained on his ugly spat with the Sri Lankans in their last clash earlier this week.
Avishka Fernando (SL-A) - 285 runs in four innings
Ruturaj Gaikwad (IND-A) - 234 runs in four innings
Sadeera Samarawickrama (SL-A) - 213 runs in four innings
Tilak Varma (IND-A) - 208 runs in four innings

IND-A vs SL-A Live Score: The shoving incident, Sooryavanshi crossed a line
The result itself was dramatic. A tied game. Confusion over whether fading light would even allow a Super Over. Another twist before Sri Lanka A eventually prevailed. Emotions were naturally running high.
But feeling frustrated is one thing. Losing control over it is another. Television footage showed Sooryavanshi involved in a heated confrontation with Sri Lanka A players after the match. Even while walking away, he repeatedly turned back to continue the exchange and ended up making contact with opposition player. Whatever may have been said during the altercation, there comes a point when the game is over. That point had already arrived. Cricket isn’t a contact sport. READ MORE

IND-A vs SL-A Live Score: Sri Lanka A predicted XI for final
Hello and welcome to the coverage of the Tri-Nation series final involving India A and Sri Lanka A. The Indian A side have frequented a lot of stinging defeats and heartbreaks with regards to multi-nation tournaments in recent years and this afternoon Tilak Varma's men have a chance to break that title drought.
Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, cricket’s next prodigy, needs a calming influence
Vaibhav Sooryavanshi lost his cool and ended up shoving a Sri Lankan player during India A vs Sri Lanka A Tri-Nation Series match in Dambulla. (Screengrab/X)
The tri-series in Dambulla, Sri Lanka was supposed to be another step in Vaibhav Sooryavanshi’s rise. Having earned a place in squads for India’s tours of Ireland and England and the Asian Games, the 15-year-old arrived with an opportunity to show that he could bridge the gap between age-group cricket and the next level. Sooryavanshi’s 79 runs in three matches aren’t very worrying. But his post-match altercation with Sri Lanka A players after India’s Super Over defeat on Monday raises questions. Television footage showed the teenager involved in a heated exchange that briefly turned physical. (READ MORE)
