India National Cricket Team vs Sri Lanka National Cricket Team Match Scorecard: India Win by 124 Runs

The India National Cricket Team vs Sri Lanka National Cricket Team match scorecard ended with a dominant 124-run victory for India in the Asian Games 2026 men’s cricket semi-final. India posted 169/7 in 20 overs after batting first, with Ishan Kishan producing the standout innings of 80 not out from 46 balls. Sri Lanka’s chase then collapsed completely as they were bowled out for just 45 in 9.5 overs.

Sri Lanka had won the toss and decided to bowl first at Korogi Sports Park, Nisshin, and they managed to take wickets regularly during India’s innings. Vaibhav Sooryavanshi gave India early momentum with a rapid 38 from 21 balls before Kishan controlled the middle and final overs. His unbeaten innings pushed India to a competitive total and left Sri Lanka needing 170 to win.

The victory also sends India into the Asian Games 2026 men’s cricket final, where Pakistan will be the opponent in the gold-medal match. Pakistan had already secured its place in the final after beating Bangladesh in the other semi-final, setting up an India vs Pakistan contest for gold.

Ishan Kishan played the innings that ultimately separated the two teams. He remained unbeaten on 80 from 46 deliveries, hitting four fours and five sixes at a strike rate of 173.91.

Sri Lanka Bowling Scorecard

Sri Lanka did manage to break India’s partnerships at regular intervals. Tharindu Ratnayake and Sahan Arachchige took two wickets each, while Wanuja Sahan, Lasith Croospulle and Nuwanidu Fernando claimed one apiece. However, Sri Lanka could not dismiss Kishan, and his unbeaten 80 allowed India to finish strongly enough to reach 169.

Sri Lanka Bowled Out for 45 in 170-Run Chase

Sri Lanka’s pursuit of 170 quickly turned into a major batting collapse. They lost their first wicket without a run on the board and were 18/5 after 3.4 overs, putting India firmly in control before the chase had properly developed. The wickets continued to fall, and Sri Lanka were eventually dismissed for 45 in only 9.5 overs.

Nuwanidu Fernando was Sri Lanka’s highest scorer with 15 from 11 balls, hitting two sixes during his short stay. Captain Sahan Arachchige scored nine from eight deliveries, while Tharindu Ratnayake made five from 15 balls. No other Sri Lanka batter reached double figures.

India’s new-ball attack effectively decided the contest before Sri Lanka could build a partnership. Jasprit Bumrah removed Sineth Jayawardena and Sohan de Livera, while Axar Patel dismissed captain Sahan Arachchige and Ashen Bandara. Sri Lanka went from 0/1 to 18/5 and never recovered from the damage.

Washington Sundar added another wicket before Abhishek Sharma finished the lower order with two wickets in five deliveries. Sri Lanka’s innings lasted only 59 balls, turning what had initially appeared to be a competitive 170-run chase into a one-sided semi-final.

Bumrah’s figures of 2/7 from two overs set the tone, while Axar was equally effective with 2/8 from three overs. Abhishek’s late spell of 2/2 ensured Sri Lanka could not extend the innings, with India’s bowlers completing the dismissal inside ten overs.

The final India National Cricket Team vs Sri Lanka National Cricket Team match scorecard therefore reads India 169/7 and Sri Lanka 45 all out. India’s 124-run winning margin reflected how quickly the match changed once Sri Lanka began their chase, with Kishan’s unbeaten 80 followed by a collective bowling performance.
