And, we have a result. Finally. After more than four hours of cricket, and after more than 40 overs of cricket. India, for most of the second innings (in the actual game) felt out of it. Nissanka and Perera had pummeled them into submission, but India did what all champion teams do: they hung on, and they clung to anything and everything they could find.
Which, of course, led to a Super Over. And over there, India flexed their muscles, and showed their wares under pressure. Arshdeep bowled magnificently, and despite some confusion and chaos, India kept SL down to just a couple of runs. SKY then iced that meagre chase off the first ball he faced, and India, if they did not have momentum before, now have plenty of it heading into the final.
