5.45pm Well, a lot of positives through this match. Among them, Shubman Gill and Yashasvi Jaiswal's form with the bat, as well as a bit of Rishabh Pant's will make India feel confident going into the series. Of course, you can't forget Siraj's six-hitting spree at the end. India do officially win this Tour game, and they went on to hit some bonus runs as well to complete the quota of overs for the day. Sri Lanka too had some positives with the bat, especially Nishan Madushka who hit fifties in both innings. India will feel this is good preparation for the series ahead. Ekanth's report will be up soon. And well, given what we saw in this game, I can't wait for the actual series to get started. That's all from us today. On behalf of Ekanth, this is Abhimanyu signing off.

Final over of the day!

hippu: "Why didn't India push for a win? Doesn't a win count here?" -- No, they were probably more focused on giving the batters some time in the middle.
