Shivam Dube and Arshdeep Singh were dismissed by Charith Asalanka off consecutive deliveries with India just one run away from victory as the first ODI encounter against Sri Lanka ended in a tie on Friday.
Chasing a target of 231, India looked all set to clinch the victory with 1 run to win from 15 balls. On the third ball of the 48th over, Dube slammed Asalanka for a boundary and it prompted a huge celebration from Virat Kohli and head coach Gautam Gambhir in the dressing room.
However, things quickly changed as Dube was dismissed LBW on the very next ball and India had just one wicket remaining. Needing 1 run from 14 balls to clinch the win, all hopes were not lost for India and Arshdeep Singh walked in as the last batter.
Kohli and Gambhir were on their feet in anticipation of the win but Arshdeep was also dismissed for a golden duck after he went for a slog sweep and was adjudged LBW by the umpire.
