Opting to field after winning the toss, Sri Lanka struggled to contain India’s formidable batting lineup, led by Ishan Kishan's explosive 80 off 46 balls (featuring 4 boundaries and 5 sixes) and Vaibhav Suryavanshi's brisk 38 off 21 balls. Despite early departures from Abhishek Sharma (7), Sanju Samson (7), and skipper Shreyas Iyer (13), India posted 169/7 in their allotted 20 overs, with Tharindu Ratnayake and Sahan Arachchige taking two wickets each for Sri Lanka. In response, Sri Lanka's run-chase crumbled immediately as Jasprit Bumrah claimed two wickets in the opening over without a run on the board. Sri Lanka were bundled out in just 9.5 overs, with Nuwanidu Fernando (15) as the sole batsman reaching double figures and five players registering ducks. Bumrah, Axar Patel, and Abhishek Sharma captured two wickets apiece. The victory sets up a high-stakes India vs. Pakistan gold medal final on October 3 at 10:00 AM local time, while Bangladesh will face Sri Lanka in the bronze medal playoff earlier that morning at 6:00 AM.
