Absolute dominance from the Indians. Sri Lanka were a no-match for this Indian team. Ishan Kishan played a blinder on a tough pitch where the ball was misbehaving quite a bit. 169 was well above par. And the bowlers had a blast. Bumrah set the tone early with two wickets in the first over. Sri Lanka wanted to swing themselves to glory, but only ended up offering wickets to the Indian spinners. Axar, and Abhishek got two each while Washi got one. India will now face Pakistan for the Gold Medal, while Sri Lanka will play Bangladesh for the Bronze Medal.

124 runs is the highest winning margin in the semi-final or a final of any Men's T20I tournament featuring two full member sides. Previous record: India's 96 run victory in the T20 World Cup 2026 final over New Zealand in Ahmedabad.

Nine single digit scores (dismissals) in the Sri Lankan innings - the joint second-most for a full-member side in T20Is alongside seven other instances. The record for an FM side is 10 - for West Indies in the T20 World Cup 2009 semis against Sri Lanka at The Oval (Chris Gayle was the lone exception then, carrying his bat with an unbeaten 63).

The Bronze Medal match will be played before the Gold Medal game on Saturday. In case you didn't know, in the event of rain playing spoilsport, the medals will be shared by teams, unlike the previous edition where the medals were awarded based on rankings. Thankfully the weather forecast looks quite good for both games. See you all on Saturday then!
