COLOMBO, Sri Lanka (AP) — Sri Lanka ended a long drought of 27 years without beating India in a bilateral limited-overs series when they surged to an emphatic 110-run win in the third and final ODI on Wednesday.

Sri Lanka pulled off a thrilling tie in the first game last Friday before winning the second game by 32 runs on spin-dominated pitches in Colombo.

India hadn’t lost a bilateral ODI series to Sri Lanka since 1997, but was bowled out for 138 in just 26.1 overs as left-arm spinner Dunith Wellalage rocked the top-order with 5-27.

Opening batter Avishka Fernando had earlier missed out on a deserving century before getting dismissed for 96 as Sri Lanka posted its highest total of the series, 248-7, after captain Charith Asalanka won his third successive toss and chose to bat.
