Sri Lanka finally got past the Indian challenge in the shortest format in a bilateral series, 2-1 after trailing the series 0-1 post the first T20I. While the Island nation might still need to get past the qualifier stage, this series certainly painted a lot of positives with several lessons learnt.

Chamika Karunaratne, who top scored for Sri Lanka in the 1st ODI, claimed that the hosts could have posted a competitive total had batters converted starts, but insisted that the side has the potential to post 350. Karunaratne also admitted that, with the ball, SL lost the game in the powerplay.
